Back in October, Timmermans Legends of Flight, a privately-owned vintage warbird collection belonging to Peter and Annie Timmermans, announced the acquisition of a Nakajima-built A6M2 Model 21 Zero through Platinum Fighter Sales. This historic aircraft, s/n 1498, is now part of their growing collection, based at Chatham-Kent Airport in Ontario, Canada.

FG-1D Corsair BuNo 92050: A Storied History
Accepted by the U.S. Navy on May 12, 145, FG-1D Corsair BuNo 92050, had a dynamic post-war history. Initially assigned to naval reserve squadrons across the U.S., the aircraft was retired from service in 1954 with 1,491 flight hours. It was sold to a civilian in 1958 for $259 and passed through several owners. In the 1960s, it underwent racing modifications, including engine and structural changes, but saw limited success on the air racing circuit.

By the 1970s, it was stored in Colorado, where it remained until being loaned to the Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum in 1999. In 2012, the Warbird Heritage Foundation (WHF) acquired the aircraft and began a meticulous restoration at Tab Air, Ltd. in Wisconsin. The restoration took nearly a decade, focusing on airworthiness while preserving some modifications. The aircraft was finished in a paint scheme honoring NAS Glenview and the Great Lakes training carriers Wolverine and Sable, which played a vital role in World War II carrier pilot training. In 2021, the Corsair flew its first post-restoration flight and has since been displayed at airshows, delighting enthusiasts. Its story highlights its naval history and the contributions of training carriers in preparing pilots for combat during WWII. Stephen Chapis wrote a fascinating article detailing the history of this aircraft, which you can read HERE.

A New Chapter in Canadian Skies
Congratulations to Timmermans Legends of Flight for this significant acquisition. This historic Corsair joins an impressive fleet and will undoubtedly captivate warbird enthusiasts when it takes to the Canadian skies. We look forward to seeing FG-1D BuNo 92050 continue its storied journey and inspire future generations with its remarkable history.

The committee has attempted to impose more severe criminal charges against individuals involved in peaceful protests since Oct. 7, or thwart the dropping of charges, multiple lawyers told The Breach.
Known as the Hate Crime Working Group and formed in 2019, it is composed of nearly two dozen Crown prosecutors, some of whose public comments show pro-Israel and anti-Palestinian bias.
The committee’s chair has said she is “committed” to the state of Israel, while another member described a pro-Palestinian activist as a “terrorist” and collaborated with a group of lawyers that aggressively defend Israel’s assault on Gaza, which has killed 38,000 Palestinians.
In one case from 2021, involving a protest in front of the Israeli consulate of Toronto, the Hate Crime Working Group’s prosecutors had greater access to the consulate’s staff than the police.
Officially, the committee merely advises police about what criminal charges can be applied in “hate-related” investigations, as well as providing education and training to police across the province.
But The Breach investigation reveals it is playing an influential role behind the scenes.
It has intervened in cases of pro-Palestinian protest activity that aren’t related to hate and “interfered” with their outcomes, one lawyer told The Breach.
The cases in question were moving toward a withdrawal of charges before the committee intervened, pushing instead for a trial, more severe charges, or more restrictive protest conditions.
Last week, The Breach reported on a Toronto police operation called Project Resolute, which experts say has misapplied “hate crime” charges against Palestinian solidarity activists.
The Hate Crime Working Group is working closely with Project Resolute, providing legal backing to their dramatic targetting of the Palestinian solidarity movement, which has included nighttime raids of activists’ homes.
The police have pursued “hate crime”-related charges against a man who flew a Palestinian socialist party’s flag, and against several activists for postering an Indigo bookstore to protest its CEO Heather Reisman, whose foundation has provided millions of dollars to support soldiers in the Israeli army.
Joshua Sealy-Harrington, an assistant professor of law at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU), said the revelations are “alarming.”
“Police have long searched for alibis to expand their authority to criminalize Palestinian solidarity and decolonial activism,” Sealy-Harrington said.
“This Hate Crime Working Group appears to be doing them a favour by helping them label political opponents of the Israeli state as ‘hateful.’ The term is intentionally amorphous to permit the arbitrary exercise of state and police power.”
All the lawyers The Breach spoke to asked to remain anonymous because of concerns that their speaking out may adversely impact other cases they are working on.

Hi! Someone who works in the non-profit/charity sector!
At least in Canada, a lot of our non-profits have been suffering from inflation. For example, food bank operating costs have gone up by 25% while we’re seeing less food being put out due to shrink-flation.
I do strongly suggest reaching out to charities and non-profits because we need them more now than ever! My local food bank has almost doubled in attendees in less than a year (400 originally, now 1000).
Ontarian Non-Profits 2 Checkout:
• Hamilton Regional Indian Centre
An indigenous outreach I strongly support. They focus on our cultural healing, prenatal care, supporting Canadian Indigenous families and so so so so much more!
A lot of events are run through them as well if you’ve ever wanted to partake in pieces of Indigenous culture.
• Alzheimer’s Society of Ontario
Our country’s leading charity in Alzheimer’s education and the leads for trying to find a cure. Old people get neglected a lot and especially old people with this illness.
They support and fund activities for them as well, which is important for stimulating the mind!
• Knight’s Table
Traditional food bank, focuses in mostly on non-perishables. I’ve used this organization in the past and they made sure me and my family were looked after.
1/3 Kids are food bank users.
• Regeneration
Traditional food bank that also serves hot and fresh foods. Provides a clothing closet for homeless and underprivileged as well, paired with a station to gussy up for job interviews. Think of it as a food bank with DLC.
• Rainbow Railroad
LGBTQ+ foundation that focuses on bringing queer folk who’ve been victimized in their home countries here to Canada for asylum. There’s too many countries that fund and support violence against LGBTQ+ people. Rainbow Railroad aids in the immigration process and helps people of our community from around the world.
Conversion therapy and similar methods are still widely accepted and encouraged in certain parts of the world.
• CAMH (Canadian Association of Mental Health)
Mental health non-profit focused on providing humane and healing treatment to Canadians FREE of cost. They run psychiatric facilities both stay overnight and drop in. They also host a 24/7 Crisis Hotline for those in dire states. Furthermore, they run free mental health programs such as DBT, CBT, Talk-Therapy, Group Therapy, Addictions counseling and so much more.
CAMH received a lot of funding cuts back when COVID hit, paired with a huge influx of people needing to use their services. Still they continue to provide these services, though now with wait times due to funding.
I encourage you to research charities within your area and donate either money, supplies or funds to them! There’s a huge need for it. Thank you to everyone who has supported non-profits so far. I can promise you they use every cent.

03: Privilege
Privilege is a subconscious advantage. Privilege takes many forms in our modern society and is often misused against the lesser. It is the assumption of those who consider themselves to be “privileged” that the level of accessibility to resources and experiences is undifferentiated. When we consider nature interpretation, factors such as socioeconomic factors, cultural background, native language, and lack of knowledge all influence the depth at which the natural world can be related to (Beck et al., 2018).
Peggy McIntosh’s metaphorical approach to describing privilege is an excellent foundation to this discussion (Hooykaas, 2024). She references an “invisible backpack” as the vessel that carries our assets and knowledge (Hooykaas, 2024). These assets are unearned and often do not surface to our awareness (Hooykaas, 2024). Assets such as economic status, cultural background, language, and education are examples of what the invisible backpack would be composed of (Beck et al., 2018). Each asset directly influences how we perceive, acquire, and relate to the world around us (Beck et al., 2018).
I am a young, white, university student. I am of the middle-class and am one of two children. My “invisible backpack” has facilitated the rich relationship I have with the natural world from a young age. My economic privilege rendered incredible travel expeditions across the world and exposure to exceptional environmental programs. I attend a recognized Ontario University and am on pace to receive a bachelor’s degree. My cultural background has seamlessly led to opportunities in my professional and personal life, allocating more time for leisure. I recognize that with English as my first language, a greater number of nature interpretation programs and literature are accessible. Considering the level of privilege I possess; privilege is defined as the accessibility to opportunity unaffected by fear and the lack of sacrifice that enable a richer quality of life.
Economic privilege is an integral component when considering the accessibility one may have to nature. Individuals who have disposable income may indulge in travel and higher-end nature experiences (Beck et al., 2018). While it can be debated that the natural world is free to all people, the diversity of experiences is accompanied with a price. It is the responsibility of the nature interpreter to create affordable, inclusive experiences that are close to home (Beck et al., 2018). Education and immersive programs are a right, not a privilege and they must be delivered as such.
Cultural privilege is a sensitive aspect when discussing the accessibility one may have to nature. The participation of different cultures in nature is largely dependent on social constructs and values (Beck et al., 2018). Camping in tents is an activity that wealthy white people participate in however, to urban minorities is their reality (Beck et al., 2018). To address cultural privilege, inclusivity should be the number one priority. Personal invitations to instil that all are welcome and wanted will strengthen the bond between cultures (Beck et al., 2018).
Language privilege or proficiency is often overlooked in Canada. Canada is a country whose two national languages are English and French. Most programming, advertisements, and professionals are fluent in English and are aware of basic French (Beck et al., 2018). Courses, signage, and maps when entering a provincial park are always in English (Beck et al., 2018). Immigrant families and non-native Canadian citizens are not able to connect with the information on the natural world the same as those who are fluent in English (Beck et al., 2018). Nature interpreters must actively reduce communicative barriers and utilize multimedia approaches.
Privilege influences how one may perceive, relate, and accept the natural world (Beck et al., 2018). It is the role of the interpreter to develop strategies and programming to address these limitations and postulate solutions to become more inclusive. I recognize the privilege I have and how said privilege has exposed me to several opportunities. I encourage my peers to work alongside me in developing a sustainable, inclusive future for nature interpreters.

Layla and Alex skate soooo close together. Kudos to whoever it was who taught them their foundational partnering skills, because it’s becoming a bit of a lost art! So many seniors skate a foot apart in hold because it’s easier to skate fast that way and the judging rewards that now - Marjo and Zak I love you so much but they are a prime case of this - but the judges should value it more highly when they see it because it’s so much more difficult. I think Ontario is slowly building them a really solid basis for seniors. The progress from their novice Lion King program is amazing.
very true. they looked good then, too - that was a really good skate - they have the ability to deliver under pressure, those two ☺️ - all 3 Ilderton grown teams have/had good basics, so someone's doing something right there - Layla and Alex won Novice only 2 and a half years ago - Feb 2022, so they'd had more than a full year with Scott at that point. they've been lucky to have both the years of gentle development with quality basics, and then to have the elite of the elite coaches show up in their home base
i would say how come Marjo and Zak don't work on skating closer, except there's no incentive, and their speed is kind of dazzling at times these days

What charity work and public service makes Prince Harry's life at risk and needing security? by u/Negative_Difference4
What charity work and public service makes Prince Harry's life at risk and needing security? This post is related to this snippet from this post (https://ift.tt/vwl4oCm SaintMeghanMarkle/comments/1b24rkz/harold_is_a_lying_liar_who_lies_the_judgment/)https://ift.tt/cp3x0GC is associated with Invictus Games (foundation international games for war veterans and those serving in the defence forces) and WellChild awards (charity to help support children with long term illness).He is on the board of African Parks and was the President of the Foundation. The foundation lost its charitable status and operates without any oversight. https://ift.tt/OUqCZGV. It also has recently been embroiled in barbaric rape and abuse of the local Baka tribe in The Congo.He is the co-founder of Sentebale (charity to help the orphans of Lesotho). This is the charity where Harry held the 10 month old Keke (rape and torture victim) and vowed to look after her but he never did.He is the patron of Henry van Straubenzee Memorial Fund (Aims to lift children out of poverty through education. Funds are directed to projects in south-east region of Uganda.) But he hasn't been as involved with itHe is a Honary life member of Royal Ontario Museum and Gloucestershire County Cricket Club.These are the causes linked to his time with the Royal Family and I haven't look into Archewell endeavours as it is private foundation. So which one of these causes could cause a risk to his life, which would need the UK government to intervene and provide security including during the time he is in the US?One thing that bugs me with this point and his constant need to connect himself to Princess Diana ... Diana was working with the following causes:AIDS and HIV CharitiesThe Plight Against LandminesHomelessness and PovertyThe Leprosy MissionCancer TrustsI don't know if people were alive during this era ... but her causes were insane ... no white, rich celeb would go anywhere near these types of causes esp AIDS/HIV in 1987. I never heard of AIDs before that, we didn't have google back then or even a computer at home! (And yes there were other royals already involved in this stuff like Princess Margaret support in the 80s and Princess Anne in 1988). The level of coverage Diana gave to this cause to dispel the myths was insane. Same with Leprosy ... there was so much stigma to even touch someone with leprosy esp growing up in India. The landmines cause in Angola ... well the world went crazy. Everyone told her that royals shouldn't be getting involved with political issues. This was in 1997, she died soon after. The conspiracy theories rolled on. Such a shame that Diana rejected her RPO security and only had a personal protection bodyguard. One wonders what could have been if she wasn't so paranoid about life and took the security. (BTW, the bodyguard survived the crash and is still working ... because he wore a seatbelt! How many times have we seen Harry, Meghan and the kids not wearing seatbelts?)How does Harry's work compare to Diana's charity work in the 80/90s? post link: https://ift.tt/vxQu9jd author: Negative_Difference4 submitted: February 29, 2024 at 11:20AM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit

Missing Missing Missing
The board sat in one of the Archives' many corners. It was a newer board, with fresh cork, to be a better replacement for what was previously used. Unlike some of the other boards this one was all confined to a specific subject matter.
Malia Suchin. Age 20. Brunshire Student.
Clive Brown. Age 62. Farmer
Himitsu Etsumi. Age 22. Brunshire Student
Spark Rawls. Age 42. Electrician and Single Father.
Oliver Fishbach. Age 18. Errand Boy.
These missing peoples weren't new, but rather some of the more recognizable from the board. Two back to back disappearances in rural Kansas and the other three were connected to Brunshire.
The board had all of their missing posters litterered around the board, each pinned along the different states and countries of the world. Some posters had begun to deteriorate with age, and some had X marks to signify that they had ceased to exist.
One hated to look at this board. It angered her that the Foundation was always stuck one step behind, meanwhile Ringleader Regina kept on kidnapping innocent children, adults, elderly, and animals to add to the Troupe of Shadows. They've only been able to get close twice, resulting in rescuing three individuals at the cost of two of their top agents becoming permanent clowns.
One approaches the board and pins a new one. Jessica Kimes. Age 38. Hairdresser. Last known location was her home in Ontario. Maybe she can be the lucky few that escape, One muses, but alas, hope for that is extremely thin. Especially as long as Regina's cruel hands are controlling the strings.

Unit 01: Relationship with Nature 🐿️
Describe your current relationship with nature. How has this developed/evolved? Who offered you “a sense of place,” as described in our textbook?
Hi everyone! My name is Sam (she/her) and this is my third year in the Bachelor of Science in Environmental Sciences (Ecology) program here at the University of Guelph.
Like many, my positive relationship with nature developed from a young age. My fondest memories from childhood are homed by forests, rivers, and family gardens. Observing lily pads while canoeing with my mom, petting banded wooly bear caterpillars Pyrrharctia isabella on hikes, thanking trees for letting me climb their branches, and staying up late reading so I could identify every shell I found on the beach. I felt a strong urge to nurture nature as it did for me, despite the fact I had so much growth ahead.
The summer before highschool I started volunteering as a camp counselor at a farm on the Niagara Escarpment, where I found my “sense of place” in nature surrounded by free-roaming chickens, acres of horse pasture, and a group of children eager to learn about forming relationships with animals. Around the same time, I attended “Discovery Vet School” at the University of Guelph, which opened my eyes to the plausible academic future I had in the environmental sector. One of the lectures focused on the ethics of the meat industry; needless to say (against my family’s wishes) my stubborn grade 9 self was vegetarian by the time I got home— an ethical decision that has stuck with me these past seven (7) years. In highschool, I also started volunteering with and fostering for the Humane Society and private animal rescues. With a focus on neonatal kittens, my desire to research the biology and behaviour behind animals skyrocketed. At the same time, I was mesmerized by how deeply bonded I felt to each individual in my care (over 50 cats and kittens by the time I was moving away!). These deep bonds transitioned to plant life too. I started working for a local garden centre and conservation area in my last year of high school, which brought along incredible mentors and life-long friendships built on the foundation of a love for nature. Every plant, animal, and component of our natural environment was solidified in my mind as a someone instead of a something.
Furthermore, I spent Summer 2023 as a full-time Plant & Biocontrol Research Assistant at Vineland Research & Innovation Centre, where I contributed to a variety of experimental projects involving plants, insects, and growth substrates. Whether I was identifying/tracking microscopic insects, testing soil pH levels from Ontario conservation areas, conducting biostimulant fieldwork, or caring for hundreds of greenhouse plants, each day took my passion for ecology to a more feasibly impactful level— I loved it! However, this newfound “measurement of impact” came from a western science perspective spent in labs where all my observations were easily transferable to a spreadsheet. When I was tired from long days of work, it was still nature that would soothe my aches and cradle my mental exhaustion. Evenings spent digging around in my home garden and harvesting vegetables grown without the grand purpose of contributing to scientific reports. Evenings spent reading in the grass accompanied by my family cat and best friend, Delilah, while watching insects crawl between the words of the book I was reading. Evenings spent climbing the backyard tree that had watched me like a grandmother through every stage of life, even though I couldn’t swing on her low hanging branches like I once did.

These moments after work, coupled with summer weekends spent hiking or kayaking, lead my story to right now. I’ve returned to the University of Guelph, taking on the role of ecology student for my third year. My “sense of place” within nature has truly blossomed here, where I spend my academic life studying our complex ecological world and my personal life finding natural influences in the music, clothing, activities, and friendships I immerse myself in. The relationship I share with nature is constantly evolving, and I’m looking forward to exploring the intricacies (and sharing them with you!) during our Nature Interpretation course this semester :)

SNW: Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow
If anything happened to SNW Kirk I would kill everyone in this room and then myself. This episode was phenomenal. A lot of this plot makes zero sense and it pulls a Time's Arrow Guinan by making consulting a long lived friend before they meet a major plot point. There's also a really good romance between La'an and alternate Kirk that rests on a foundation of him being the only person she's ever met that doesn't immediately make certain assumptions about her based on her name that weirdly no one in her entire past has bothered to change. There was some good chemistry between them, and the final scene is truly devastating as she loses the one person who she could be free from her past around.
The episode opens when a guy is shot by a bullet and hands a Thing to La'an before vanishing. She goes to the bridge and then finds KIRK IS THERE! They go back in time with the Thing, and Kirk knows how to drive a sports car but not use a revolving door. Kirk hustling chess players in a park is so on brand!
Then someone attacks a stupid bridge across all of lake Ontario somehow that they made up for the "get to the bridge" pun. They run into a crazy conspiracy theorist who tells them a bunch of alien stuff. After seeing the rest of the episode there is literally no reason why she would do this.
They need an engineer for something, so they drive the 7 hour trip to vermont between scenes to find Pelia in the past but she isn't an engineer yet, so it was mostly pointless except she gets a watch to walk around a 600 square mile city to see if it glows when its close to the thing they want to find.
So it turns out Sera was a romulan the whole time. She shoots alternate Kirk and tries to force La'an to open the door while explaining why old Trek was off on their timeline. Turns out she wants to kill Khan! Who is a little kid who has to live with the stigma of shooting all the guards before he even does anything in history because La'an left the gun in his room before zooting back home.
Finally some asshole time agent shows up and says "thanks for doing my job, give me the thing, you have to suffer in silence for the remainder of your life, thanks bye! That was begging to be a Daniels cameo, but Daniels isnt that much of an asshole.
In summary, this was a hell of a lot of fun and elevated both La'an and Paul Wesley's Kirk in my eyes. Hijinks took place and were amusing.
Rating: 5/5

Check what's included in your purchase. Some stores offer free delivery and old mattress removal, while others charge extra. Ask about delivery timeframes and whether they'll set up your new mattress and remove packaging.
If you live in a walk-up apartment, confirm if they'll carry the mattress upstairs and what additional fees might apply.
Maintenance and Warranty Coverage
Before finalizing your purchase in the mattress London Ontario market, understand the warranty terms. Most quality mattresses come with 10-year warranties, but coverage varies. Ask about what's covered and what might void the warranty.
Learn proper maintenance techniques like rotating the mattress regularly and using appropriate bed frames. Some warranties require specific foundations to remain valid.
