I am concerned these event are the results of 'Puppet Masters,' the who is a mystery.

Viewing the migrants from Hatti, in Mexico walking to the U. S. border raises questions?
These are not the uncertain, frightened migrants that I have become used to viewing.
There orderly, with no apparent concern over food, or fear of their fellow migrants.

Migration of massed peoples is/ can be, a method on straining the resources. the orderly conduct of the receiving nation; I am
seeking the hand of the Puppet Master-who organizes these mass migration?

I share your concern about the current trend of migrants looking for a better life but nobody knows what to do about it or how it will play out. If I were younger, living in Belarus under Lukashenko's rule, I'd probably be doing the same thing.

Merna Beasley, Murtijar Woman from the series Tribute to Indigenous Stock Woman by David Prichard Taylor (Winner)

‘Any level of investigation into Australian history reveals the years of trauma that indigenous people have suffered’ Prichard says. ‘One can only imagine what stock women endured, living in remote areas, in a world ominated by white colonial culture and law. I wanted to produce portraits that were dignified, strong and beautiful and worthy to represent these women today and into the future.’

South Africa has the largest population of rhinos in the world. However, there has been a catastrophic decline in their numbers due to poaching. Desperate times call for desperate measures and dehorning is a last-ditch attempt to deter poaching. Although a traumatic experience for the rhino, dehorning is like cutting one’s fingernails and the horn will grow back.

Liam Scarlett Inquest

A former Royal Ballet choreographer killed himself after feeling “humiliation” over allegations of sexual misconduct against him, an inquest heard. The court heard a brief statement that read: “Liam Scarlett was admitted to Ipswich hospital on 12 April 2021 due to a cardiac arrest following an attempted hanging.

Scarlett enjoyed a rapid rise to dance stardom, winning the Ursula Moreton and Kenneth MacMillan awards for choreography whilst at the Royal Ballet School before joining the prestigious Royal Ballet company in 2005. He was promoted to the role of first artist three years later, before retiring as a dancer in 2012 to focus on choreography.

Veterans Day, which was previously known as Armistice Day, is a federal holiday in the United States observed annually on November 11, for honoring military veterans that served in the U.S. Armed Forces.

The date coincides with Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, celebrated in European countries, and which mark the anniversary of the end of World War I with the signing of the Armistice on November 11, 1918.
