Daily Life In Toronto, Canada
A truck displays the image of Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Other graphic images commemorate the 1984 storming of the Golden Temple by the Indian army and pay homage to the thousands of Sikhs killed in a revenge attack instigated by members of the ruling Congress party, sparked by the assassination of Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. During 'Operation Blue Star', the Indian Army storms the Golden Temple to flush out militants hiding there and to arrest Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and his militant followers who initiate a movement for a separate Sikh state named 'Khalistan'. A large number of radical Sikh supporters are in the Sikh community in Canada, known for its fundraising activities to benefit Sikh militant groups in India and to continue the struggle for a separate Sikh state. Many Khalistan supporters and other Canadian Sikhs attend this Nagar Kirtan to celebrate Vaisakhi. Nagar Kirtan is a Sikh custom involving the processional singing of holy hymns throughout the community. (Photo by Creative Touch Imaging Ltd./NurPhoto) -

Following the trench warfare in the poppy fields of Flanders, Belgium during World War I, poppies have become a symbol of remembrance of soldiers who have died during wartime.
Remembrance Day or Poppy Day has been observed since the end of the First World War to remember armed forces members who have died in the line of duty. In most countries, Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November to recall the end of First World War hostilities.

Pictured: WW1- 1914-1918-WORLD WAR ONE. LA BOISSELLE-LOCHNAGAR CRATER ON THE SOMME. 1ST OF JULY 1916 MINE.
The Lochnagar Crater ( named after a nearby WW1 trench which was named by an officer after a mountain in Deeside near Balmoral in Scotland where many of the 7th Gordons, based in La Boiselle, were estate workers ) at La Boiselle, the largest crater on the Western Front, was created on the first day of the Somme offensive on 1st July 1916 at 7.28 in the moring by exploding a hugh mine of 60,000 Lbs of guncotton under the the German front line. The Crater was slowly being eroded until Richard Dunning purchased the crater in 1978 after reading about it in 'The Old Front Line' by John Masefield, so that it might be saved as a permanent memorial. Remains of both British and German Soldiers are still being found in the surrounding landscape and are buried in nearby cemeteries but marked at the Crater by crosses and Poppy Wreaths.

FEATURE - Landminensuchende Ratte erhält Goldmedaille für tierische Tapferkeit
A rat with a nose for detecting dangerous landmines has been awarded a medal for his bravery.
The tiny creature's work in Cambodia, which has transformed the lives of the country’s citizens, has earned him the PDSA Gold Medal for his life-saving bravery and devotion to duty.
HeroRAT Magawa is a giant pouched rat, trained to detect landmines by charity APOPO. He has discovered 39 landmines and 28 items of unexploded ordnance to date, making him the charity’s most successful HeroRAT.
During his career he has helped clear over 141,000 square metres of land (the equivalent of twenty football pitches), making it safe for local people.
Magawa was formally presented with his unique miniature PDSA Gold Medal – the animal equivalent of the George Cross – via a live link between Cambodia and the UK on September 25th by the vet charity’s Director General. He is the first rat in the charity’s 77 year history of honouring animals to receive a PDSA Medal – joining a line-up of brave dogs, horses, pigeons and a cat.
Commenting on the award, PDSA Director General Jan McLoughlin, said: “The work of HeroRAT Magawa and APOPO is truly unique and outstanding.
“Cambodia estimates that between 4 and 6 million landmines were laid in the country between 1975 and 1998, which have sadly caused over 64,000 casualties.
“HeroRAT Magawa’s work directly saves and changes the lives of men, women and children who are impacted by these landmines. Every discovery he makes reduces the risk of injury or death for local people.
“The PDSA Animal Awards programme seeks to raise the status of animals in society and honour the incredible contribution they make to our lives. Magawa’s dedication, skill and bravery are an extraordinary example of this and deserve the highest possible recognition. We are thrilled to award him the PDSA Gold Medal.”

Magawa was formally presented with his unique miniature PDSA Gold Medal – the animal equivalent of the George Cross – via a live link between Cambodia and the UK on September 25th by the vet charity’s Director General. He is the first rat in the charity’s 77 year history of honouring animals to receive a PDSA Medal – joining a line-up of brave dogs, horses, pigeons and a cat.
Commenting on the award, PDSA Director General Jan McLoughlin, said: “The work of HeroRAT Magawa and APOPO is truly unique and outstanding.
“Cambodia estimates that between 4 and 6 million landmines were laid in the country between 1975 and 1998, which have sadly caused over 64,000 casualties.
“HeroRAT Magawa’s work directly saves and changes the lives of men, women and children who are impacted by these landmines. Every discovery he makes reduces the risk of injury or death for local people.
“The PDSA Animal Awards programme seeks to raise the status of animals in society and honour the incredible contribution they make to our lives. Magawa’s dedication, skill and bravery are an extraordinary example of this and deserve the highest possible recognition. We are thrilled to award him the PDSA Gold Medal.”
