Rogue Holidays
Hi Readers!
We would like to wish our Canadian friends a happy Thanksgiving! And to our American friends, happy Columbus Day.
We're getting close to the release date for Rogue Night. We hope you're as excited as we are. If you didn't get Rogue Skies while it was available and haven't read Hunter's Night, (Robin's first adventure) don't worry.
We *should* get the rights back for the ebook version of Hunter's Night right before Rogue Night (Robin's second adventure) publishes. It's available right now as a paperback at the lowest possible price Amazon would let us charge for it. They have to take their cut on top of the printing fees.
As soon as we get the digital rights back, Hunter's Night is going straight into Kindle Unlimited. So get your kindles ready. We'll let you know when it's up. And yes, Rogue Night will also be part of Kindle Unlimited as well.
What's our scribe been up to? She's been working on a special project, but I can't tell you about it yet because the title and story keeps changing. I'm not even supposed to talk about it. But Papa will protect me, so I'm not worried. (This is Ran, Sarn's son.) As soon as our scribe locks down the details, I can tell you all about it. Promise. That should be soon since she has to turn this special project in.
Did I mention we're running this special project? Just don't tell the other authors who're involved. They think our Scribe's running it. But they're wrong. We're the ones in control. 😉 It's going to be a character-led project, and we intend to have some (Scribe-approved) fun with it.
More on that in the coming weeks plus a look at how Curse Breaker: Hidden (the sequel to Curse Breaker: Sundered), His Angelic Keeper: Fallen (the sequel to His Angelic Keeper), Mage Hunter (the sequel to Relic Hunter), Rogue Ranger (Robin's 3rd adventure) are coming along. All are on our Scribe's to-do list plus a few surprises. 🙂
And now back to Robin's story. Well, actually, we're diving into Young Papa's head. He and Robin alternate chapters, so let's go see what he's up to.
A Robin of Larkspur Novel (Book 2)
Missed a part? Read part 1 here, part 2 here, part 3 here or just grab Rogue Night in ebook or paperback. 🙂
"She took my baby."
That proclamation startled Sarn out of his funk. He nearly shot to his feet to see who'd spoken, but Shade grabbed his arm and pulled hard enough to stop him. Sarn kept his eyes closed, even though every sense shrieked at him to open his glowing eyes. But he wasn't sure he wanted to be found just yet, now when discovery could end his own quest.
They were still hidden by a pile of soft things, cloaks or blankets, maybe. The Rangers had quite a collection of both. Sarn had once sorted them then gave that up as a lost cause when all his work had been undone by one watch's carelessness.
"Stay down." His friend's veiled lips brushed his earlobe, tickling it, but there was nothing funny about any of this.
"I can't. I have so many questions." Sarn opened his eyes but averted them so he didn't accidentally catch Shade's eyes.
Strange things happened when Sarn looked someone in the eye, and those episodes always caused a blackout among other things. A blackout would be a bad thing right now when he was so close to finding answers. Could the same person who'd taken that woman's child have taken his son? Were those kidnappers still here? Or had they just taken the two children then fled? Ran had been well-hidden and well-looked after. Someone must have told the kidnappers about his son and where to find him.
Surely, not the Foundlings? They were his friends. Five of them were here in this cave because they'd come to help find Ran. But what had motivated that offer? An altruistic need to help a friend? Or guilt over betraying his son's whereabouts?
Sarn had no illusions. Magic might be illegal to possess and use, but there was a thriving black market for it. The son of a powerful mage would fetch a high price. But was that the kidnappers' end goal?
It might be if Miren was mistaken about what he'd seen. That explanation made more sense than Sarn's original theory. That faun might not be part of the Wild Hunt. Other than the description his brother had given him, Sarn had no proof that a goatish man was at all associated with the Wild Hunt.
It didn't make sense for a faun to be part of that group because they didn't go after kids. The Wild Hunt preferred to prey on people in their late teens and twenties. Sarn was more to their taste. Was that why they'd taken his son—to draw him out to a place of their choosing, so they could take him instead? That reasoning made far more sense than any other theory so far, and it chilled him to the core they could be that callous. Sarn hugged himself and hoped he was wrong about that. If he wasn't, then he was in far more danger than his son. But that theory failed to explain one essential point—how had the Wild Hunt found out about his son?
Only one way came to mind—someone had sold him out. Sarn clenched his fists as a wave of anger washed over him. Magic sparked around his fingers until Sarn let it go. Vengeance wasn't the answer. If someone was selling information about him, he needed to find out who and put a stop to that before he rescued his son. So that person couldn't warn the Wild Hunt he was coming.
Who had sold information about his son? The Foundlings were the only people besides his brother and Shade who knew his son existed because they lived with his son's mother, Beku. Neither Shade nor Miren would ever betray him, so that just left the Foundlings.
Five of the Foundlings had accompanied Miren and Shade to tell him what had happened to Ran. One of those orphans must be the snitch. How could they do that to him?
Sarn covered his face with his hands. His life was a tangled web of secrets, silences, half-truths, and promises but thankfully no lies. And the only people who could have betrayed him had volunteered to help him. What the hell was he going to do? Sarn just didn't know, but he knew one thing with grim certainty. He couldn't help anyone until he figured out who to trust. To do that, Sarn needed information. But how could he get that without risking detection?
Sarn had to go talk to the Foundlings who'd showed up outside the Rangers' barracks even though he didn't want to. Then he had to find a way to lose them because they couldn't possibly accompany him on his rescue mission as anything other than a liability.
There was no way around that now. But when Sarn moved to do just that, Shade grabbed his arm and pulled him down again. "Let go of me, Shade."
"No, you have to stay put, or you'll be caught. You don't know if there's a Ranger out there."
By 'out there,' Shade was referring to the tunnel that led from the doors of Mount Eredren to this cave. But Sarn had magic, didn't he? He could find out if he dared use it inside the mountain. Sarn bit his lip. Did he need it badly enough to risk it? There were so many stones around him, and his magic liked them way too much. Could he keep his magic on task long enough to find out who was out there and check for any Rangers? They shouldn't be looking for him yet, but it would be best if he stayed out of their sight. "I could check," Sarn heard himself say, but he wasn't certain that was a good idea.
"No, stay hidden. Let's see how things play out."
"I could use magic."
"Don't. You already blacked out once. Do you want that to happen again?"
Shade was right. Sarn shook his head, and his shoulders slumped in defeat. He still didn't know why he'd blacked out before. Maybe he'd tried the very same thing he'd just suggested. Another blackout would be bad especially this close together.
Sarn rested his forehead against his knees again. He was so tall; he didn't even have to lean forward because his legs were so long. So were his arms. He could still wrap them around his knees even though Shade still held onto one.
"Please, stay hidden. Please, my Ang—" Shade paused then awkwardly went on, leaving Sarn wondering what his friend had almost said, "We can learn much just by listening."
That was true, but there was another way they could get information about that woman and who she was talking to. Sarn couldn't make out most of what she said, but the tone of her voice tugged on his heartstrings, and he reminded himself he had to solve his own problems before he could help her.
Otherwise, he'd just bring down more trouble on her head, and she didn't deserve that, not if he was understanding her correctly. "You could sneak a peek at them," Sarn whispered into the silence that had settled between them.

Are you having trouble getting your kids active to live a healthier lifestyle? First Lady Michelle Obama has a solution. In February 2010, the first lady launched the Let's Move! program. The campaign is supported by a U.S. government program called the Childhood Obesity Task Force. The goal of the initiative is to solve the "problem of obesity within a generation." This means returning to a childhood obesity rate of just five percent by 2030.
What is the Let's Move Program?
This is quite a goal considering that research shows that one in every three children in America, between the ages of 2 and 19, are obese or overweight. That's 31.7 percent of all children in America. And according to a study in the New England Journal of Medicine, the current generation may even live a shorter lifespan than their parents.
So, how are the Let's Move! Program and the task force trying to accomplish their goal? They're taking action in five pillars of our community. These pillars include getting children a healthy start in life; empowering parents and caregivers; providing healthy foods in schools; improving access to healthy, affordable food; and getting children to be more physically active.
The Let's Move initiative started helpful programs across the country including: Let's Move! City, Town or Country; Chefs Move to Schools; Let's Move Faith and Communities; Let's Move! Outside; Let's Move! Museums and Gardens; Let's Move! in Indian Country; Let's Move! Child Care; Let's Move! in the Clinic; and Let's Move Salad Bars 2 Schools.
Since 2010, the program has made many accomplishments. Their blog features information like recipes by kids and webinars. They've teamed up with Disney, Major League Baseball and the National Hockey League for public service announcements. Beyoncé created a Let's Move music video with kids called "Move Your Body." And over 4,000 schools have met the Healthier U.S. School Challenge, surpassing their original goal of 2,250.
Consider the hands-on experience of growing a kitchen garden.
Try taking family walks together after dinner.
Plan healthy snacks that feed their eyes and their tummies.
Get your child's school to start a school health team.
Help your kids come up with fun, active ways to break up their TV time like jumping jacks or dancing.
Encourage your kids to help you prepare meals.

Merkel Eclipsed by Macron, Mistaking Trump's Lies for Authenticity
Presidents Emmanuel Macron of France and Donald Trump of the United States speak in Paris, July 14, 2017 (DoD/Dominique Pineiro)
Der Spiegel laments that Angela Merkel is allowing Emmanuel Macron to take the lead in Europe.
The left-leaning weekly has complained for years that Merkel isn't bold and visionary enough, but they have a point this time: Macron has seduced both eurocrats in Brussels and Donald Trump in Washington while Merkel's authority in Berlin has been significantly reduced by a disappointing election result in September.
Also read Nicholas Vinocur in Politico on the French leader's transatlantic ambitions:
Macron is determined to restore France's greatness and Trump's friendship elevates Paris as a nuclear power with a seat on the United Nations Security Council at a time when Britain — usually Washington's preferred ally — is sidelined by the Brexit process.

Iran Strike Could Destabilize Caucasus, Energy Transits
If Israel, unilaterally or with support from the United States, attacks Iran to disrupt its nuclear program, it could have the unintended consequence of destabilizing the Caucasus and emboldening Russia.
Last week, the European Union Monitoring Mission in the area reported a "buildup of Russian Federation armed personnel" along the South Ossetian border with Georgia. The former Georgian province, which has a majority ethnic Russian population, seceded in 1990 and was recognized as an independent state by Moscow after a brief war in 2008.
The increase in Russian troop presence may have to do with the fact, as Robert Bruce Ware writes at Antiwar, that Russia expects a strike against Iran before the end of this year and sees an opportunity to strengthen its position in the region.

Accidental War Waiting to Happen on Europe's Periphery
A minor incident could cause the frozen Nagorno-Karabakh conflict to turn hot, threatening European oil supplies, the regional balance in the Caucasus and Anatolia as well as increasing the European Union's dependence on Russia.
The border dispute over Nagorno-Karabakh conflict could flare up again, as recently demonstrated by an alleged ambush of Armenian troops by Azerbaijani forces. The incident, taking in place in Armenia proper, not the contested area of Nagorno-Karabakh, is viewed as an escalation of tensions. Conflict is now more likely due to Azerbaijan's petrofueled growth of its military capabilities.
A small incident could spiral into a full-blown conflict. While a conflict would threaten European interests — i.e., threaten oil supplies and increase Europe's dependance on Russian energy — the European Union is expected to do little under such circumstances except condemn Azerbaijan and continue to offer free trade and visas to Armenia.

The Problem with "Zero Problem Neighborhood"
March 19, 2012 January 6, 2020
While changes began in the foreign policy domain right from the onset of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's government, it was only in his second term, and after the nomination of Ahmet Davutoğlu, that Turkey's foreign policy acquired a more "independent" flavor. Davutoğlu has been lauded for his "zero problem neighborhood" vision, but, as things stand today, there seems to be little merit for that praise.
Foreign affairs is one of those portfolios with peculiar pros and cons: there can be plenty of popularity gains for a foreign minister, who gets to socialize with international leaders and opinionmakers, but there is also the inherent uncertainty of securing results as diplomacy depends on at least two interlocutors and the government he belongs to is but one of them.
That said, it is one thing for a particular diplomatic initiative to founder into political oblivion; it is another altogether to turn a would-be close ally into a soon to be mortal enemy, as was the case recently in Turkish-Syrian relations. Read more "The Problem with "Zero Problem Neighborhood""
Analysis, Top Story
Miguel Nunes Silva is a Portuguese political analyst.


This is the first time the "Global Gender Gap Report" showed gender parity is shifting into reverse since WEF began compiling its index in 2006. Researchers annually evaluate 144 countries on their progress toward equality across four categories: educational attainment, health and survival, economic participation and opportunity, and political empowerment.
The equality numbers aren't much better in the subsector of cybersecurity. In a recent survey, researchers from the Cyentia Institute and Cybrary polled 2,973 women in IT and security. They found 63% are not paid equally to men, and 55% say their employers don't actively recruit women.
Part of the problem is a lack of experience among female candidates and organizations' unwillingness to educate them, says Cybrary COO Kathie Miley. The majority of women Cybrary surveyed have less than three years of experience in security, and 53% say their employers don't offer cybersecurity or certification training.
While cybersecurity curricula has only begun to emerge at universities within the past decade, Miley believes the disparity starts earlier. "We haven't done a good job at all as a country, as a global citizenship, of nurturing women into technology and mathematics," she says. Men often start building their tech experience earlier than women and continue accelerating ahead.
Businesses hiring security pros generally don't have diversity top-of-mind either, Miley continues. They're primarily interested in experience. It's understandable, of course, to want to hire security pros with backgrounds to do the job – but an unwillingness to train employees in a field as rapidly changing as cyber puts both candidates and businesses at a disadvantage, especially at a time when most organizations struggle to recruit and retain skilled employees.
If we want to accelerate on the track toward equality, women need to take the driver's seat.
Miley echoes their sentiments. It's time to stop pretending women aren't interested in cyber, she explains, and provide the tools all employees need to build their skills and stay ahead.


You can delete or edit a product in an order in two ways depending on how you want to manage available inventory.
1) To edit or delete a product without releasing the inventory back into the system (e.g. if a supplier cannot fulfill the inventory they said was available), enter "0" (or a reduced quantity) in the quantity box (if change is made ahead of delivery) or delivered box (if change is made at/after delivery and select update.
Note: For products that have minimum order requirements, you may reduce the quantity below the minimum using this feature.
2) To release the inventory back into the system, allowing another buyer to purchase it, delete the product using the trash can icon. Delete the line item using the trash can.

Next ArticleThe Effect of Distal Radius Fracture Location on Distal Radioulnar Joint Stability: A Cadaveric Study
Shoulder dystocia is the strongest known risk factor for brachial plexus birth palsy (BPBP). Fractures of the clavicle are known to occur in the setting of shoulder dystocia. It remains unknown whether a clavicle fracture that occurs during a birth delivery with shoulder dystocia increases the risk of BPBP or, alternatively, is protective. The purpose of this study was to use a large, national database to determine whether a clavicle fracture in the setting of shoulder dystocia is associated with an increased or decreased risk of BPBP.
The 1997 to 2012 Kids' Inpatient Database (KID) was analyzed for this study. International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) codes were used to identify newborns diagnosed with shoulder dystocia and BPBP as well as a concurrent fracture of the clavicle. Newborns with shoulder dystocia were stratified into 2 groups: dystocia without a clavicle fracture and dystocia with a clavicle fracture. Multivariable logistic regression was used to quantify the risk for BPBP among shoulder dystocia subgroups.
The dataset included 5,564,628 sample births extrapolated to 23,385,597 population births over the 16-year study period. A BPBP occurred at a rate of 1.2 per 1,000 births. Shoulder dystocia complicated 18.8% of births with a BPBP. A total of 7.84% of newborns with a BPBP also sustained a clavicle fracture. Births with shoulder dystocia and a clavicle fracture incurred BPBP at a rate similar to that for newborns with shoulder dystocia and no fracture (9.82% vs 11.77%). Shoulder dystocia without a concurrent clavicle fracture was an independent risk factor for BPBP (odds ratio, 112.1; 95% confidence interval, 103.5–121.4). Those with shoulder dystocia and clavicle fracture had a risk for BPBP comparable with those with shoulder dystocia but no fracture (odds ratio, 126.7 vs 112.1).
This population-level investigation suggests that, among newborns with shoulder dystocia, clavicle fracture is not associated with a significant change in the risk of BPBP.

Direct drive motors are available in both rotary & linear executions and offer tangible benefits to conventional power transmission solutions such as motors with gearboxes, belt and chain-drive, etc.
Besides eliminating backlash and mechanical elasticity in the transmission train, direct drive motors drastically reduce design in time and costs. In addition the reduction in the number of components used reduces servicing work and lowers maintenance costs.
Direct drive motors also provide appreciable energy savings through improved overall efficiency.
Rotary direct drive motors, also often referred to as torque motors, provide very smooth motion as well as tight dynamic control, due to their high number of motor poles.
Where conventional servo systems typically are considered with inertia mismatches of up to 10:1, using direct drive motors can increase this to 100:1 and beyond. Loads with an inertial mismatch in respect of the motor in excess of 500:1 have already been implemented.
Direct Drive Linear Servo Motors offer high end performance in linear motion applications such as pick and place systems, product sorting and handling, measurement and metrology, to name a few.
Where conventional methods such as belt drive, chain drive, rack and pinion and other mechanical drive-train solutions are limited in terms of precision and ball-screw solutions are limited in terms of speed, Direct Drive Linear Motors off the complete package. High speed and precision.
The video clip shows a SKAddr direct drive motor in combination with a twin-head SKAddl direct drive linear motor and a conventional brushless servo motor. Note how the base unit of the linear axis is fitted with two completely independent carriages.
Also the losses in mechanical drive trains can be considerable meaning higher than necessary energy consumption, not to mention wear factors and the resulting down-time for maintenance.
Direct Drive Linear Servo Motors overcome these issues by applying the power directly where it is needed... at the point of motion. This is achieved by integrating the winding in to the mobile part, while the static part is formed by the track to which the permanent magnets are fixed.
Direct Drive Linear Servo Motors are typically offered as frameless units (comprising a part-set of track and carriage) for volume OEM applications or as ready-assembled units (with integrated linear guide rails and feedback) for low-volume system builds and individual projects. They are available up to 3m long and are capable of producing up to 7,200N of peak force.

South Africans Fear Mandela's Death Would Bring Violence
Posted byBy Kevin Webb	| March 31, 2013 CommentsComments (4)
South Africa is holding its collective breath in fear of uprisings and riots that could follow the death of political icon Nelson Mandela, who is 94 and struggling with health issues.
The Nobel Peace Prize-winner is in his fifth day of another hospital visit for a lung infection. Ernst Roets, deputy executive chief of South African racial minority rights group AfriForum, told The Guardian that peacekeeping organizations are working to absolve the people's concerns.
"We get a lot of fear," Roets said. "We do get calls from people saying they're scared about the day Mandela dies and what they should do. There are fringe organizations that say flee the country. We are encouraging people to be aware and look after their own safety."
The South African government issues daily updates on Mandela's health; that's how much of a significant figure he has in the country's culture.
"This is a dangerous country and crime is a problem," Roets said. "But if we want to make a prediction, there's not going to be an all-out race war. There might be isolated incidents, but I think most people, white or black, want to live in peaceful coexistence."
In interview with the BBC last week, President Jacob Zuma suggested that citizens prepare for Mandela's passing, citing his advanced age. In the years since Mandela left South Africa's political world have been marked by human rights concerns, and some fear that his death could bring about an end to the country's post-apartheid "golden period."
"For as long as he lives, South Africans breathe a little easier and believe in their country a little more," Daily Telegraph Foreign Correspondent David Blair wrote. "When the day after Mandela dawns, that belief will be shaken, not dramatically or immediately, but slowly and perhaps imperceptibly, South Africa will, quite simply, be a different country."
Mandela has spent Christmas, and now Easter hospitalized as the result a respiratory infection. A statement from the president's office reported that Mandela can once again breathe without difficulty and is still responding well to treatment.

NSW Parliament apologises to the 78ers who began the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras

A brightly sequinned hat, tie-dye t-shirts and rainbow flags in the packed viewing gallery did nothing to distract from the gravity of the historical moment in NSW Parliament on Thursday morning when, after nearly 38 years, the 78ers received a formal apology from the state over the discrimination they suffered at Sydney's first Mardi Gras in 1978.
"For the mistreatment you suffered that evening, I apologise and I say sorry," said Bruce Notley Smith, the member for Coogee, as he moved the motion of apology in the NSW Legislative Assembly.
"As a member of the parliament which dragged its feet in the decriminalisation of homosexual acts, I apologise and say sorry. And as a proud gay man and member of this parliament offering this apology, I say thank you.
"The actions you took on June 24, 1978, have been vindicated."
The bipartisan apology, unanimously passed in both houses of parliament, drew emotional and at times highly personal reflections from MPs, including the Attorney-General Gabrielle Upton and the Treasurer Gladys Berejiklian. Mr Notley-Smith recounted the pain of growing up as a gay teenager in Sydney at the time of the melee.
That evening, more than 500 activists took to Taylor Square in Darlinghurst in support and celebration of New York's Stonewall movement and to call for an end to criminalisation of homosexual acts and discrimination against homosexuals. The peaceful movement ended in violence, mass arrests and public shaming at the hands of the police, government and media.
About 70 of the original protesters and their supporters rose for a standing ovation as Mr Notley-Smith ended his highly charged speech, commending the tireless activism of the 78ers and acknowledging that the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras had as its foundation the violence and struggle of that night.
The Member for Newtown, Jenny Leong, called for the NSW police to add their weight to the apology, before reading personal stories of violence and terror that June evening. Her opinion was greeted by loud applause by 78ers, though Mr Notley-Smith later said that he believes that the cross-party apology speaks for the police as a government agency.
With two openly gay members sitting across the chamber from one another, Alex Greenwich, independent member for Sydney, proclaimed the NSW parliament the "gayest parliament in Australia."
The cheers that followed were welcome levity in a moment that was grounded, for many of those present, in darkness and pain.
Speaking after the debate, Ron Austin, a 78er and originator of Mardi Gras, said that the apology was "delightful". Flanked by Steve Warren, Julie McCrossin and a raft of other 78ers, he recalled a jubilant street party turning into a tragedy as he remembered the day. "We were hunted along all the way down by the police," he says of the route along Oxford Street.
"We were sick and tired of being treated as second class citizens, it was intolerable, inexcusable.
"This whole discrimination thing was just absurd to the nth degree."
The "unqualified and unreserved" bipartisan apology has not come a moment too soon for many of those who were traumatised by the events and the subsequent public outing of many of those involved by The Sydney Morning Herald.
In some instances, protesters lost their jobs and homes, and for some individuals, the trauma ended only in suicide. On Wednesday, The Sydney Morning Herald added its voice to the recognition of wrongdoing and injustice.
Apologising to the 78ers, Darren Goodsir, editor-in-chief, said: "In 1978, The Sydney Morning Herald reported the names, addresses and professions of people arrested during public protests to advance gay rights. The paper at the time was following the custom and practice of the day."
"We acknowledge and apologise for the hurt and suffering that reporting caused. It would never happen today."

Project RAF 100
How Harry Fusao O. Ha'Ra made history
The RAF Museum provided the backdrop for one of our Race To The Numbers £10KThousand giveaways. As it opened its doors to the public, we delved into its archives to meet Sergeant Harry Fusao O. Ha'Ra; Britain's first – and perhaps only – Japanese RAF pilot.
At only 17 years of age, Harry was on a holiday cruise between Japan and Hawaii with a party of 30 fellow students when they were shipwrecked. The students made it to a desert island and survived on a diet of seagulls and turtles and by drinking rainwater. Sadly, one of the teenagers died and his schoolmates cremated his body on a pyre. The youngsters were eventually rescued by an American ship and the bones of the unfortunate young man were brought with them back to Japan.
The experience didn't put Harry off travelling, however, and as a young man he visited China, the Philippines, Siam, Singapore, Ceylon and India. He wrote three books about his experiences and in India he worked for a time as a journalist. Harry also supplemented his earnings with martial arts instruction and he was teaching Jiu-Jitsu to the King's Own Scottish Borderers when war broke out.
Harry decided to enlist in the 34th Sikh Pioneers and arrived in France by troopship in September 1914. He saw action with the Sikhs and then with the Ghurkhas before transferring, in October 1915, to the Middlesex Regiment. While fighting on the Western Front, he was wounded six times and it was discovered that he bore nearly 70 battle scars. He was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal and the Military Medal for his bravery. While in hospital, he occupied himself by making a model Japanese village and if asked about his bravery he would only say:
"Just one of those things...it was luck...it was duty – that is all."
In March 1917, Harry transferred to the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) as an Air Mechanic but volunteered for flying training. He qualified as a pilot at the London & Provincial School of Flying in Edgware on 21st July and received Royal Aero Club Certificate 4991. Promoted to Sergeant, Harry is believed to have been posted to France to fly S.E.5a fighters with No. 1 Squadron, Royal Air Force (RAF). On 1st June 1918, he was wounded for a seventh time, suffering a bullet in the jaw, and was evacuated to the Queen's Hospital in Sidcup. After the war, he was used to help recruit men for the new Royal Air Force and he was eventually discharged from the RAF in 1919. He remained in Britain, settling in North London with his English wife, Muriel. In later life, when he heard that the son of one of his neighbours was going to join the RAF, he bought him a Parker fountain pen as a gift, saying "Young man, you have made a wise decision".
Harry Fusao O. Ha'Ra, the only Japanese pilot known to have served in the RAF, died at the age of 60 in Hampstead in 1951.

BACAVI—As Red Feather's "Official Hand Tool Supplier" and Title Sponsor in this September's Shebola family home, Stanley has teamed up with Red Feather Development Group to build a model sustainable home as one potential solution to the housing crisis on the Hopi Reservation.
This project welcomes home a Hopi family—the Shebolas—who were forced to leave the reservation for medical care of seven-year-old Leukemia survivor Matthew Shebola.
When Kerri Shebola learned that her son Matthew had acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, it meant uprooting the whole family from everything they had ever known. The Shebolas left their home on the Hopi Reservation to seek medical attention for Matthew in Tucson, where the small family took up residence in a small furnished apartment.
In order to fund their travel to Tucson, the family held a yard sale and sold many of their household belongings. Matthew endured chemotherapy treatment at Phoenix Children's Hospital. Unfortunately the treatments failed, and last June Matthew underwent a marrow/stem cell transplant as a last-ditch effort to save his life.
Although successful, the transplant has severely compromised Matthew's immune system and requires that the family live in a very healthy environment though his recovery process.
There is one caveat: Matthew must return to a "healthy home" that will not compromise his already vulnerable immune service.
Since the transplant this June, Matthew has virtually no immunity against infections or sickness. All of the immunizations he received as an infant must have been "erased" from his body as the donor cells rendered them ineffective, leaving him vulnerable to a variety of life-threatening illnesses. Unlike most, Matthew cannot fight viruses, bacteria, or even mold and spores.
Most Hopi homes are heated by coal- or wood-burning stoves. The particulate matter and carbon monoxide generated by these stoves or by forced air heat could compromise Matthew's health.
A Red Feather home for the Shebolas in Bacavi will use an efficient, non wood- or coal-burning heating system, which reduces the amount of particulate matter (dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores and germs) circulating in the home and does not require a crawl space. There will be no carpeting to harbor allergen-producing dust mites or mold-causing spores. We will use low-to no- VOC (volatile organic compound) paint, varnish and solvents. Furnishings will be solid wood rather than composite products dependent upon formaldehyde.
Additionally, the super-insulated exterior straw bale walls will reduce temperature fluctuations felt within the home despite the extreme outdoor conditions of the high desert, rendering the home more comfortable to live in overall. The straw bale wall itself maintains the home's ability to breath—in effect filtering the air inside the home.
Single mother Kerri Shebola has taken a temporary leave of absence from her ten-year employment with the Hopi Tribe so that she can tend to Matthew's needs and alleviate the stress of working full-time while raising two children. However, this leaves the Shebola family unable to afford a home that will meet Matthew's health needs.
In response to the Shebola's circumstances, Stanley Tools has donated $30,000 toward the material costs of the Shebola home. In addition, Stanley will match dollar-for-dollar every donation made to the Shebola family home up to $15,000 total which will bring Red Feather very close to covering the costs of the materials for this home.
Stanley employees will spend the last week of September volunteering their time to complete this home and adding valuable "sweat" equity to the home alongside Hopi tribal members and Red Feather volunteers from across the country.
Stone Gossard, guitarist for the band Pearl Jam, has significantly supported this home project in addition to Meyers Park United Methodist Church of Charlotte, N.C.
Additional assistance in the form of donated materials include Bosch power tools, Moen plumbing products, ThermaTru exterior doors, Aristokraft cabinets, Whirlpool appliances and construction materials from Lumbermens of Flagstaff.
Red Feather and Stanley challenge you to join us in bringing Matthew, Danielle and Kerri back to Hopiland. Get involved—there's still time to help. When you contribute today, your dollars will be doubled by Stanley.
For information, or to contribute towards this worthy project, contact the Red Feather office at Red Feather Development Group, Shebola Home, P.O. Box 907, Bozeman, Mont. 59771-0907.


Councillor Matt Whitman at City Hall.
Update: Mason clarifies his since-deleted tweet was agreeing only that Whitman, Adams and Hendsbee need public shaming, not that they are shitheads. The councillor previously told The Coast he stood by his comment when asked about "shitheads" Tuesday evening, but today says he thought we were referencing a different comment. "Sorry, totally my bad," Mason tweets.
Matt Whitman's opposition to Halifax's Cornwallis panel has him facing tough criticism from the city's poet laureate and one of his fellow councillors.
On Tuesday, Regional Council voted to create a special committee to conduct historical research and hold public engagement sessions on how the municipality commemorates both Edward Cornwallis and the area's Indigenous history.
An eight-member panel, half of whom will be chosen by the Nova Scotia Assembly of Mi'kmaq Chiefs, will report back to council with recommendations in six-to-eight months.
Whitman, along with Stephen Adams, were the only two votes against.
The Hammonds Plains–St. Margarets councillor says his opposition to the panel is multi-faceted. The administrative order doesn't specify "fact-based" decisions, Whitman claims, and it's too narrowly focused around Cornwallis.
Barrington Street is either named after William Barrington, a minor British politician, or is a misspelling of Harrington. Coburg is presumably named after the German Saxe-Coburg dynasty. It's believed Quinpool Road gets its name from an Irish widow—named Quinn—who lived by the Northwest Arm.
There doesn't appear to be a public effort to rename any of those three streets, but calls to topple Cornwallis' south-end statue and rename Cornwallis Street and Park have been ongoing for years.
Whitman was also against a similar panel proposed a year ago by councillor Waye Mason. The councillor argued at the time that Cornwallis "wasn't perfect," but his celebration on city land didn't require further evaluation.
Mason's motion was defeated by a single vote. The idea only came back to council this past spring after a performance by Thomas of her poem, "Not Perfect," which was directly inspired by comments from Whitman and his fellow councillors.
Thomas says Whitman's latest "all-or-nothing" remarks on the Cornwallis panel are problematic when it comes to truth and reconciliation.
While some view Halifax's founder as an important figure in the city's birth, a growing contingent say Cornwallis' violent actions towards the Mi'kmaq people mark him as little more than a symbol of colonial oppression, unworthy of civic honours.
The outcry climaxed over the summer when HRM briefly covered the statue in a dusty tarp to dissuade members of the public from ripping it off the pedestal themselves.
Given the high stakes, Stephen Adams argues that making an unbiased ruling could be difficult for some panellists.
That's faulty logic, counters Thomas, and condescending to the fact-based history of the area's Indigenous population.
Adams wasn't alone in fretting about the panel's membership. Councillor David Hendsbee questioned whether it was appropriate for historians and Mi'kmaq experts from outside HRM to have a seat at the table. Whitman also chimed in on the topic, claiming the wording of the administrative order could be mistakenly construed as a requirement for the panel to have four non-Indigenous members.
The remarks by Whitman, Adams and Hendsbee prompted one local Twitter user to call-out the three councillors as "shitheads" in need of public shaming. Councillor Waye Mason agreed with at least half of that assessment.
A since-deleted tweet from the councillor about his non-shithead colleagues.
Whitman in particular, Mason tweeted, appears to have a "mammoth" lack of understanding and pride in his ignorance of Indigenous issues.
Council approved the four names it will appoint to the expert panel during an in-camera session Tuesday night. The remaining committee members will be nominated by the Assembly of Chiefs.
The names were not immediately released to the public, pending confirmation.
A separate staff report on HRM's truth and reconciliation efforts is expected back in the next few weeks.
Terms of reference for the citizen committee, made up of Indigenous and non-Indigenous residents, will be debated by city council on Tuesday.
Residents looking for removal of controversial statue ejected from public gallery.
Halifax covers its shame—for a few hours anyway—but reconciliation still a long way off.


… are what made our weekend away to Scotland 2014 memorable!
With having no internet connection in the three B&B/hotels we stayed in I am having to update when back at home. Over the three nights/four days we saw a lot of sights, drove for 17 hours and ranked up a total of over 800 miles! There are a lot of pictures to go through, and I mean a lot!!!
In this post I will try and cover all the highlights with a selection of pictures I have not shared on my Facebook page. I hope you enjoy reading as much as we enjoyed visiting some wonderful sights in the East of Scotland.
Our holiday started on the Thursday when David and I drove up to Falkirk from Liverpool. The four hour journey went without a hitch and the weather stayed dry, if not cloudy once crossed the boarder.We had lunch at the Helix with the Kelpies in the distance. We had a tour booked for 2.30pm!
Our tour guide was Andy and he was informative if not flamboyant! He really entertained David and I and the other six people on the tour! The tour was £5 each and lasted one hour which I thought was value for money! The tour explained the history behind the development of Helix and the Kelpies and then went on to explain about the past, of the areas industrial roots and the canals. The tour ended inside the base of one of the Kelpies, Duke I think it was. After the tour we spent another hour walking around and taking pictures from different angles. The sun broke through the clouds and we got some great pictures!
After four we drove to our B&B in Stirling, West Plean. It was our third time of staying there and the welcome is always friendly.
We dinned at the River House, and afterwards we decided to go back to the Kelpies to see them lit up at night. It took over an hour for the sun to set but we got some fantastic pictures of the Kelpies lit up with red lights. To me they looked demonic!
The Friday dawned with mist over Stirling. We shared a lovely friendly breakfast with a French couple from Paris and a German couple from Berlin. As Moira the proprietor of West Plean said, it was an international breakfast table!
After breakfast David and I left for Aberdeen. We came across cloud and more cloud before it turned to sharp piercing rain. We stopped for lunch at Dunnottar Castle and we're going to visit, but we had good views of the mist shrouded castle from the headland so we snapped a few pictures and then went on our way!
We arrived in a rain soaked Aberdeen after 1.30pm and quickly went in search of Marischal College where the 50 dolphins of the Wild Dolphins art exhibition where housed before auction. They were displayed in an open courtyard and David and I were not protected from the 'dreich' weather!
After 4pm we checked into our second base for the night, the Hilton, Treetops Hotel. It was a four star hotel but we were in a three star room! The other downside was that we were staying next to a 'bride to be' and she and her friends kept us up during the night with their antics!
The only positive of the stay was the restaurant. After nursing a migraine and not having brought any medication (the only thing I did not have) we went for dinner. After ordering the salmon, we were then entertained while waiting by a magician called Garry and his pet rabbit Basil! It was amusing and highly different! David had a smile on his face all evening!
Saturday dawned much brighter with the sun shining, my headache and sickness lifted. We did not pay for the £10 each for breakfast, we decided to just have a coffee and head off to Edinburgh. We were planning on visiting Highland Wildlife Park but the satnav said a three hour drive awaited us and then another 2.5 hours to Queensferry, so we opted to visit my favourite city instead. We stayed in Edinburgh for lunch and walked around Calton Hill, Holyrood Park and the Royal Mile. It was nice visiting old haunts.
After 3pm we set off to our last base for the holiday.
We checked into the Hawes Inn, a pub on the river front. It was a three star and the room we were in was testament to that. We were in an outhouse, and in the basement as that, hence no internet signal! It was not the best B&B we have stayed in, but it was liveable! We were not there much of the time anyway!
After check in, we decided to mingle with the locals who were there for a food and drink festival. We took pictures of the two bridges and looked for restaurants. In the end we had a delightful curry at an Indian called the Queen's Spice. At the end of the meal I was gifted a red rose, a nice touch!
Later on that evening we headed back out (again) to see the bridges lit up with lights.
The Sunday saw us getting up at 8am for a continental breakfast. We left Queensferry on our journey south. I with a tear in my eye said a farewell to Edinburgh and Arthur's Seat as we saw it fading into the distance as we dove along the A7! We headed to Melrose Abbey for two hours of strolling around ruins. It was a pleasant, peaceful day!
We got back to Liverpool after 4pm on Sunday, tired but satisfied that we had had a nice, diverse time.
I hope you have enjoyed my recital of our little weekend and inspired you to visit Scotland?! I will try and make a video of the highlights and post on here.

Laramie is Home to Wyoming's Best Plant-Based Restaurant
Jax Published: August 31, 2021
Ella Olsson via Unsplash
Historically, you might not think that Wyoming would be a state that is keen on the idea of plant-based restaurants. Usually when people come through Wyoming, the first thing on their mind is, 'Where can I find the best steak?'. However, as the culture has changed in recent years, more and more plant-based foods and restaurants are more abundant throughout the country, and that includes Wyoming.
Some people are vegans, some are vegetarians, and there are some people that just want to change their lifestyle and eat healthier options. Now that plant-based foods have become available at restaurants, customers are taking advantage. And recently, the food publication known as 'Eat This, Not That' decided to find out what the best plant-based restaurant is in every state. It just so happens, southeast Wyoming is home to that spot and it's in Laramie at Sweet Melissa Cafe.
Here's what 'Eat This, Not That' said about why they picked Sweet Melissa Cafe as Wyoming's best plant-based restaurant:
The Sweet Melissa Cafe in Laramie has been a haven for plant-based diners and "homesick vegetarians" since 1999. It has classic cafe eats, like salads, soups, and sandwiches, plus vegetarian and vegan entrees including enchiladas, ravioli, and a Cuban plate. The restaurant doubles as a tavern, too with a selection of cocktails such as the Iced Spiked Chai and the Key Lime Pie Martini.
As mentioned, the restaurant doubles as a tavern with several drinks that sound fantastic on their drink menu. So in case you're not all about the food menu, have a beverage. But judging from their food menu, as someone who is neither vegan nor vegetarian, I'd still be down to try just about anything on there.
But there's your plant-based spot, Wyoming! It's at 213 S. First St. in Laramie. Whether you're vegan, vegetarian, just wanting a healthier lifestyle, or maybe you just want a good adult beverage, try them out!
These are the Best Places to Eat in Laramie
There are plenty of amazing places to eat within the city of Laramie. In fact, Yelp has put together a top ten list based on their reviews, and all of them sound amazing.

Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. JESUS told unto the seventy, Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
Here we see that JESUS gives to us the power to overcome all and nothing shall hurt us. All through scripture we see JESUS healing the sick. We even find the disciples healing the sick. Through scripture we find that by our faith we are healed. Having said that I must say this, JESUS came to heal the sick and did so and if we by way of faith die daily and see ourselves crucified with CHRIST, then we also must say that CHRIST lives within us. So if CHRIST lives in us then HE whom has the power to heal the sick also lives in us then HE has given unto us the power, the power of HIS spirit living in us. If this power is living in us then why do we see ourselves as being sick? The reason we are sick goes back to the faith. It is a lack of faith that we are sick. We are choosing to believe a lie! We are choosing to compromise! We like Eve know the truth but are allowing ourselves to be deceived by a lie.
For it is written, But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in us, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to our mortal (Natural, Earthly) bodies through His Spirit who dwells in us. Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus (which was for our victory), that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. For I will restore health unto you, and I will heal you of your wounds, saith the Lord. Behold, I will bring you health and cure, and I will cure you, and will reveal unto you the abundance of peace and truth.
When JESUS died on the cross and was buried and rose. He alone healed everyone of us to whom believe and have faith in HIM.. It is by our faith we are healed. We are healed! We are healed! You are healed! I am healed! When we say that we are sick, we are choosing to believe a lie and we start at that moment to compromise what we know to be the truth. Let us take a stand today and choose to believe and have faith in what GOD says to be true. JESUS has given unto us the power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt us. Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.
Matthew 18:18 "Verily I say unto you, whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." Do not allow sickness, pain or disease run free in your body, bind it or forbid it to stay there any longer because of your rights as a believer.. Put your foot down and command it to leave in the Name of Jesus!!!
Psalm 91:9-10 "Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the Most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling."
WE ARE HEALED! YOU ARE HEALED! I AM HEALED!
I HAVE HEALING JUST AS I HAVE SALVATION!

Fallout 76 is a prequel to other games in the Fallout series, developed by Bethesda Softworks. It will be the first online multiplayer title in Bethesda Game Studios' offer. Even though the game is the ninth one in the franchise, its storyline takes place well before the events of even the first Fallout game, just after the first vaults started opening.
- The plot starts on Reclamation Day in 2102, 25 years after the nuclear apocalypse. You and other Vault Dwellers are chosen by the nation as the most suitable to reshape the country. In this role-playing video game the player's task is not only to survive, but also to explore the area, create a base camp and ultimately reshape the world with nuclear missiles.
Gameplay of Fallout 76:
- Fallout 76 will have some of the elements of previous Fallout titles when it comes to graphics and gameplay features, however they will be modified to work in real-time in online mode. For instance the V.A.T.S. system that was present in Fallout games since the third instalment was modified to accommodate that idea. The system used to allow players to pause game in order to target a chosen point on enemy's body. In online mode pausing can't be an option, but specifying a target on foes' bodies will still be possible.
- The game is set in a massive open world—four times as big as the Fallout 4 map —inspired by West Virginia. Some real locations, like Camden Park, NE River Gorge Bridge, West Virginia State Capital, Woodburn Circle, made it to the game. Also West Virginia folklore is the inspiration for some of monsters and mysterious places, such as Mothman and the Flatwoods . There are of course other numerous, mutated creatures in the game.

THE CHOW-CHOW.
PERHAPS I may be taken to task for introducing the above Chinese dog in a book purporting to deal with British modern varieties. However, the Chowchow is now so common amongst us, he has classes specially provided for him at our leading exhibitions, that he could not with any degree of satisfaction be passed entirely over. Mr. Moore shows by his pencil what the dog is like in the flesh as we have him here, but not as he is butchered and hung up for sale in his native country. Our Chow-chow—a native of the Celestial empire —is so called because he is used edibly, "chowchow" being a "pigeon English" expression for food. At home he is common for that purpose, is butchered in the usual fashion, and may be seen any day hanging up in the meat shops in Canton and elsewhere; and the flesh looks very nice and dainty too. As a fact, the Chinese do not give their dogs so much animal food as we give ours, feeding them A A
mostly on rice. They believe that the flesh of the dog possesses unusual medicinal properties, but what these properties are we barbarians here have yet to learn. Alongside these carcases of dogs may be seen the four paws of poor pussy, which, suitably cooked, are considered a great delicacy, and evidently as much esteemed by the Chinese as pigs' feet are by the English and the natives of other countries. It is strange somewhat that whilst only the paws of the cat are eaten, the whole of our friend the dog is converted into food. The restaurants in Canton and in other large centres mostly provide dog soup; other savoury stews and ragouts are concocted from his flesh, and I am told that such are by no means unpleasant, and form in a great measure the usual food of the middle classes. Mr. W. K. Taunton, who is the great authority in this country on foreign dogs, kindly forwards me the following notes — "In China are found several different breeds of dogs, many of which bear a very close resemblance and are probably identical with some of the breeds of other countries. As an instance, there can be little doubt the hairless dog of China is the same as the Mexican hairless dog, and the crested dogs bear a striking likeness to the dogs which have
lately been exhibited and described as African sand dogs. There are also small spaniels which, though differing in type from our present toy spaniels, are in all probability distantly related to them. "The variety of Chinese dogs which is best known in this country is the one most commonly to be met with in its native country. This is the edible dog, sometimes described as the wolf dog, but better known here as the Chow-chow. They are undoubtedly a very old breed, in many respects resembling the Esquimaux and the dogs of the Arctic regions, especially in the carriage of tail, ears, and general expression. Scientists would find it an interesting inquiry to determine whether the Chinese dogs are bred from the canine race of the Arctic regions and Northern Europe or vice versd. "Many of these dogs have a very keen scent, and in the north of China, where I imagine they are of a somewhat larger size than elsewhere, they are used in packs for hunting purposes. "The orthodox colours of the Chow-chow are jet black and dark red. I have, however, seen many good specimens of a lighter colour, and at one time I owned a black and tan dog which was an exceptionally typical specimen. Whether this colour was the result of crossing the black and red I do not know, but as I have been frequently asked my ex

Despite impressive shootaround, Steph Curry still has 'a long way to go' in recovery
Steph Curry may have looked like his old self on Friday during the Golden State Warriors' team shootaround in Los Angeles ahead of their matchup with the Clippers.
He isn't, however, anywhere close to being ready to step back into the lineup.
"There is a long way to go for him to heal and be ready to play in a game," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said, via USA Today. "He just started really getting onto the court shooting and moving around. He has a ways to go, but it's good to see him out there."

Curry broke his left hand in October after Phoenix Suns center Aron Baynes fell on him after an awkward layup, and underwent surgery days later. He's been rehabbing ever since, and only rejoined the team late last month. Curry's trip to Los Angeles, and impending trip to Memphis, mark the first time since the injury that he has traveled with the team for road games, a significant step in his recovery.
He is expected to be reevaluated on Feb. 1, where a more definitive timeline for his return could be set.
While he may not have done much basketball-wise since the injury, seeing Curry knock down shot after shot on Friday didn't provide much of a shock for Kerr.
Given what he's accomplished throughout his decade in the league, that was almost expected.
"It's like riding a bike," Kerr said, via USA Today. "He's going to be able to shoot when he's 85.
"Nothing really surprises me with Steph. The guy is so skilled that to be honest, even not picking up a ball for two months, I expect him to make every shot."
After breaking his hand in October, Steph Curry is still expected to be evaluated again on February 1. (Lachlan Cunningham/Getty Images)

Movies Batman v Superman: Trailer Reportedly Attached To "Mad Max: Fury Road"
Batman v Superman: Trailer Reportedly Attached To "Mad Max: Fury Road"
The truth is, we are all eagerly anticipating for Warner Bros. and director Zack Snyder to release the first main trailer of their upcoming DC Comics film, "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice". However, all we received so far are just rumours and speculations.
Back in October 2014, it was rumoured that the studio is set to release the first teaser trailer during the screening of "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies". The rumour, which originated from "Batman-On-Film", was then proven to be false because no trailer or footage of the film was shown.
In January this year, Latino Review's writer Umberto Gonzalez broke the news that the teaser trailer is reportedly going to arrive with "Jupiter Ascending" in February. A movie website called "The Projection List" also confirmed the report by listing out "the entire cinematic release schedule", including the official and projected dates for all theatrical, home, and trailer releases".
Having wrapped its filming last December, the trailer was said to be the same video that was shown at the Warner Bros panel during the San Diego Comic-Con 2014. Unfortunately, the report was once again proven to be false.
Source: Warner Bros
At this point, we remain sceptical over the reports about the trailer because there were too many rumours floating around the Internet.
But after getting our first look at "Game of Thrones" star Jason Momoa as Aquaman and Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, we are starting to believe that a trailer should be released very soon. We are confident enough to say that because Variety was told by various sources that it will be attached to "Mad Max: Fury Road" on 15th May.
The news was first reported by Collider. According to the site, the studio did not know for sure if the trailer should be released when "Avengers: Age of Ultron" opens in late April or late May.
Most fans think that it should be out by now, but the marketing for the movie is much trickier than expected. The studio wants everyone to talk about "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", thus Collider stated that the trailer "could end up getting released before Marvel's upcoming "Avengers" film."
Warner Bros. has yet to comment on the news confirmed by both Variety and Collider.
Jesse Eisenberg lex luthor
Batman v Superman Gal Gadot Wonder Woman
Henry Cavill as Superman Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice
Batman New Suit
"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" marks the beginning of the DC Cinematic Universe after Warner Bros. revealed that there are 10 DC films currently in development.
The full movie slate is as follows:
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice – March 25, 2016
Suicide Squad – August 5, 2016
Wonder Woman – June 23, 2017
Justice League Part One – November 17, 2017
The Flash – March 23, 2018
Aquaman – July 27, 2018
Shazam – April 5, 2019
Justice League Part Two – June 14, 2019
Cyborg – April 3, 2020
Green Lantern – June 19, 2020
The Zack Snyder-directed action adventure film is starring Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, Diane Lane, Jesse Eisenberg, Jeremy Irons, Holly Hunter, and Scoot McNairy.

On this day in 1983, Dennis Wilson of The Beach Boys died after diving into the water from a boat slip in Marina del Rey.
Wilson had been in and out of detox all December, ultimately choosing the bottle over sobriety. Intoxicated with vodka, Wilson had been out on his boat with friends when he decided to swim in an area where he had once dumped items from his past.
After retrieving a few trinkets, Wilson went down to search for more items. Wilson failed to appear after 20 minutes had passed, and the search for him ended with the retrieval of his body.
Dennis Wilson was thirty-nine years old.

Syrian Kurdish Leader Fears Kobani Massacre If Weapons Don't Arrive
A Syrian Kurdish leader called on Tuesday for Western states to provide weapons to his forces fighting Islamic State in the besieged Syrian border town of Kobani, warning that his fighters were outgunned and risked massacre if help did not arrive soon.
Saleh Muslim, head of the Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD), which has close links to the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in Turkey, said that his calls for arms had so far been rebuffed by the United States and European nations, blaming Turkey for obstructing his efforts.
"We are asking everybody who can help us to provide weapons to the people fighting against tanks and artillery, but nobody is doing anything. There will be many who are martyred," he told Reuters during a diplomatic mission to Europe. […]


Their accounts have played a key role in getting the attention of the outside world. But in the absence of professional journalists on the ground, it's hard to piece together the whole story.
International outrage has grown in recent weeks over the Syrian government's bombardment of Eastern Ghouta, the last major opposition-held enclave bordering the capital, Damascus.
One reason for the global attention is 15-year-old Muhammad Najem, who began posting his makeshift selfie-video reports in December. In some, he stands in front of piles of rubble or on rooftops, warplanes and smoke visible in the distance, or in a basement bomb shelter. Sometimes he appears alone, other times with groups of children and women, or, in one case, in front of a group of emergency workers loading a patient onto a van. In some of the videos, he wears the flag of the Free Syrian Army – a collection of rebel groups fighting the government of Bashar Assad – draped around his shoulders.
In one of the most recent videos, titled in Arabic, "The dropping of a barrel bomb from a Russian plane above my house and the occurrence of casualties," Najem does not appear onscreen. Instead, shaky camera footage shows people scrambling through rubble amid the sound of crashes and children crying. The last few seconds of footage appear to show a wounded or lifeless child on the ground.
Najem's low-budget videos had gained him nearly 17,000 Twitter followers as of the beginning of March, as well as write-ups in international media, including CNN, the Guardian and Teen Vogue.
Predictably, along with the outpouring of support on Najem's social media accounts, critics have accused him of being an impostor, aligned with terrorist groups or on the U.S. payroll.
I reached out to Najem via his Twitter and Facebook accounts to request an interview. A day later, he responded on Facebook and agreed. I asked if we could do a video call, but he said the internet was too weak. Instead, we spoke (in Arabic) via voice messages and text on Messenger. Eventually, several days later, we managed a short video call over Facebook. The internet, as he had said, was too weak to manage an extended conversation, but I was able to confirm that the person I was speaking to was the boy from the videos.
He told me that he had been born and raised in Ghouta and before the war had an unremarkable life.
Since the war began, he said, his family had been displaced several by the bombing. Two years ago, he said, his father was killed.
I asked him why he had decided to start making videos and putting them on social media.
I asked him if he had made all the videos himself or if someone had helped him. He told me his sister, who had studied English at university, had helped him with the translations and that his brother also helped.
Whoever may have encouraged or helped him produce the videos, it doesn't make the destruction surrounding this teenager any less real.
But it does highlight the difficulties of the media environment in this war. In some cases, international journalists report by communicating remotely with people they may have met in person on previous trips inside Syria. In other cases, they rely on reports from United Nations agencies, aid groups, monitoring organizations, statements put out by the various warring parties. Often, they use reports from citizen journalists, who are usually aligned with one side or the other in the conflict.

NDP makes kerfuffle over drilling waste in Whitehorse
Yukon's NDP Opposition is accusing the government of a lack of transparency over the disposal of drilling waste brought to Whitehorse two years ago.
Over three days in the legislative assembly last week, NDP MLAs Kate White and Jim Tredger grilled the government about why some cuttings from Northern Cross Yukon's drilling program in the Eagle Plain basin ended up in Whitehorse, what was in them and where they were delivered.
"We have been told that (they've) been disposed at… an approved facility in Whitehorse," White told the News on Wednesday. "We have no idea where that is."
Initially, the government refused to answer the questions directly. "When it comes to the specifics of a permit, I'm not going to speak to that on the floor of the House," Energy, Mines and Resources Minister Scott Kent told the assembly on Wednesday.
But on Thursday, in response to further questioning, the government changed tactics and explained that the waste was delivered to the Arctic Backhoe land treatment facility in Whitehorse to be treated for hydrocarbon contamination.
Currently, it does not appear that any rules were broken or that the material poses a health or safety risk.
As far as the News can verify, this is what happened:
Northern Cross Yukon disposed of about 6,350 tonnes of drilling fluid and cuttings from its 2012-13 exploratory work in the Eagle Plain region.
Most of that waste was trucked to a Tervita disposal facility in Fort Nelson, B.C. But 225 tonnes of it came to Whitehorse instead.
According to Northern Cross, that material "was delivered to KBL in Whitehorse." KBL is an environmental and waste management company.
But the material wasn't actually received by KBL. Jeff Dirks, a business manager for KBL, explained that his company received a chemical analysis of the waste and directed it to an appropriate treatment facility. In this case, that was Arctic Backhoe.
"The material went directly from site to Arctic Backhoe," Dirks said.
Arctic Backhoe has a waste facility that is equipped to treat hydrocarbon contamination. Company co-owner Wayne Dear said the process involves microbes in the material that break down the hydrocarbons over time. But because of the Yukon's cold climate, that process can take years.
"We turn it over till it's clean," he said. "It's not rocket science."
Once the material is clean, Arctic Backhoe typically takes it to the landfill to be used as a cover. It could also be used on industrial sites.
"Basically, we're recycling," Dear said.
It's unclear whether the specific cuttings from Northern Cross are still being treated at Arctic Backhoe, or whether they've been transported to the landfill or elsewhere.
According to the Yukon government, those cuttings were contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons including benzene and metals including barium, which is used in drilling mud.
But the metal concentrations were apparently not high enough to be a serious concern.
"Based on metal concentrations in this material, the material, once treated for petroleum hydrocarbons, is suitable for use at any commercial or industrial site (such as a landfill)," wrote Eric Clement, a spokesperson for the Department of Environment, in an e-mail.
Dirks explained that most of the waste was delivered to Fort Nelson because "the Northern Cross representative didn't realize that there would be a more localized option." He said the company was "quite perturbed" when it realized it hadn't been taking advantage of the Whitehorse facility.
But Dirks also said other types of contaminated waste cannot be treated in the Yukon. Instead, things like batteries, glycol or drums of used oil are delivered to KBL, which then arranges for them to be transported out of the territory to an appropriate facility.
He said it's unlikely that those types of hazardous waste would ever be treated in the Yukon.
"The territories would never ever have the waste volumes to substantiate a processing or receiving facility," he said. "The economics aren't there."
Northern Cross CEO David Thompson said that the company's future wells will be "much shallower" than the four wells drilled during the 2012-13 season, and will produce fewer cuttings.
