May 23, 2019, © Leeham News, Toulouse: Airbus took over majority interest the Bombardier C Series July 1 last year. The company immediately announced 120 orders for the CS300, renamed the A220-300, at the Farnborough Air Show, but the deals had been in the works with Bombardier before the takeover.
Another flurry of orders was announced at the end of last year.
Since then, virtually nothing.
Tuesday at the Airbus Innovation Days, Chief Commercial Officer Christian Scherer said the threat of tariffs in the US and the lack of certification in China effectively shuts out two thirds of the world market to the A220.
Monday, tensions between Canada and the US eased a bit when the Trump Administration removed tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum. But Airbus remains a Trump target at the World Trade Organization over outstanding claims against Airbus for the A380 and A350.

April 1, 2019, © Leeham News: Returning the Boeing 737 MAX to services following its grounding should reasonably be a straight-forward affair, if past groundings were examples.
But, to mix a metaphor, there are plenty of unchartered waters with this grounding that stand ready to complicate matters.
Bloomberg reported Saturday that Europe's FAA equivalent, EASA, skipped last week's Boeing meeting of 200 pilots and regulators.
March 12, 2019, © Leeham News: Australia and the United Kingdom today joined a growing list of countries banning the Boeing 737 MAX from operating in or through their airspace.
The UK's decision to ban the MAX is, up to now, the most important development in the growing crisis of confidence in the safety of the MAX.
The UK and continental Europe's regulators, EASA, are considered tough regulators who usually work in concert with the USA's Federal Aviation Administration. That the UK authority is now ahead of the FAA is crucial. If EASA follows suit, the blow to the FAA and to Boeing will be huge.
March 12, 2019, © Leeham News: About 40% of the world's in-service Boeing 737 MAX fleet were grounded by the end of yesterday, Seattle time, after more governments and airlines banned operations.
Singapore was the latest to ban MAX operations from its air space.
The US Federal Aviation Administration said yesterday there isn't enough information yet from the Ethiopian Airlines crash Sunday to conclude a grounding order is necessary.
But it added that it will issue an order for a mandatory action by April to make improvements to the flight control system. Boeing late Monday confirmed a software upgrade is in the works for its MCAS stall recovery system used on the MAX.
LNA reported early Monday that a plan to implement a software upgrade following the October crash of a Lion Air MAX 8 had not been implemented.
Update: Royal Air Maroc, Mongolian Airlines ground MAX.
March 11, 2019, © Leeham News: Indonesia regulators today joined China, Grand Cayman Airways and Ethiopian Airlines in grounding the Boeing 737 MAX pending investigations or inspections.
This means about one third of the in-service MAXes have been grounded by regulators or operators.
The moves came within 36 hours of the crash of Ethiopian Flight 302, a MAX 8, six minutes after take off from Addis Ababa. The crash killed all 157 people on board five months after a Lion Air 737-8 crash that killed 189 passengers and crew. Lion Air is an Indonesian carrier. The airline's JT610 crashed 12 minutes after take off.
March 10, 2018, (c) Leeham News: Boeing today postponed the public ceremonies planned for Wednesday for the roll-out of the 777X, following the crash of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302, a Boeing 737-8.
No date has been rescheduled.
Jan. 11, 2019, © Leeham News: Airbus trailed Boeing in net orders in 2018 but it still holds a commanding lead in backlog market share.
With the companies reporting their year-end tallies, Airbus has a 56% share of the backlog to Boeing's 44%.
Airbus carries the day with narrowbody backlog. Its share is 58% to Boeing's 42%.
Boeing wins the widebody backlog, 53% to 47%, driven by a broader product line, including strong 777F and KC-46A/767-300ERF backlogs.
When the emerging narrowbody airplane programs of China and Russia, and Embraer's sole entry into the 100-150 seat sector (based on two-class seating), Boeing's narrowbody share of the backlog drops from 42% to 40%.
Charts are below. Data is based on firm orders only.

Jan. 4, 2019, © Leeham News: This is not the year where China's COMAC will have break-out progress for the C919, its challenge to the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737.
Flight testing is slow and entry into service (EIS) is now targeted for 2021—a slip of five years from the original schedule.
The C919 launch-to-EIS is approaching the eight years record of the ARJ21.
But these delays don't mean COMAC isn't making progress.

November 1, 2018, © Leeham News.: Last week we looked at how a Boeing NMA would function as a medium range airliner in the Asia-Pacific.
We now continue with flying the two aircraft variants from Middle East locations, exploring how large an area in Asia, Europe and Africa the aircraft would cover.
June 6, 2018, © Leeham News: Airbus remains confident that the sales boon for the slow-selling A330neo is just around the corner, but an analysis of Airbus' current operator lists shows significant inroads by Boeing for its 787.
LNC outlined Airbus' strategy last December in which officials are confident the A330neo will see an uptick in orders as the current A330 operating fleet, now called the ceo, ages beginning in 2020.
The new sales chief, Eric Schulz, reiterated Airbus' confidence at the IATA AGM this week in Sydney, Australia.
But 19% of the 109 A330 operators already ordered the 787. One, American Airlines, already announced the 787 order will replace the A330s in its fleet. Air Canada long ago made a similar announcement. Hawaiian Airlines canceled an A330-800 order in favor of the 787-9.

LONDON — You need blinkers to navigate a big city, something to screen out the teeming surplus of ambient sights and sounds. Christopher Boone — the 15-year-old hero of the thrillingly staged adaptation of "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" at the Apollo Theater — has no such apparatus at all. And on his first day in London, it's a lack that threatens to pulverize him.
Us too. As directed by Marianne Elliott, working with an inspired set of designers, Christopher's maiden voyage into an alien metropolis becomes a virtuoso study in sensory overload. Those lights, noises, street signs, road maps, random words that spell themselves into being, and, oh yes, that moving staircase that materializes out of nowhere: it all keeps coming at you, to the point that you expect your mind to give up and shut down.
It doesn't of course. Nor does Christopher's, though the drenched, rigid form of Luke Treadaway, the sensitive actor playing him, shows how much the experience has drained him. You'll find your own muscles tightening in sympathy, and you may feel a need to check your pulse.
How could it be otherwise? Christopher, who suffers from a disorder that would appear to be Asperger's syndrome, finds it hard enough to process the events of an afternoon at home in the town of Swindon. He'd be better off in outer space, which would at least be quiet, than in London.
The extraordinary accomplishment of "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time," which opened in the West End on Tuesday night after a hot-ticket run at the National Theater last year, is that it forces you to look at the world through Christopher's order-seeking eyes. In doing so you're likely to reconsider the dauntless battle your own mind is always waging against the onslaught of stimuli that is life.
Scary, isn't it? Exhilarating too. Adapted by Simon Stephens from Mark Haddon's best-selling novel of 2003, "Dog" turns daily existence into a perilous trek into the unknown, which of course it is. The difference is that Christopher sees this with an acuity that hurts, and we're allowed to feel his pain. Strange to think that this vicarious exercise in disorientation may be the most entertaining family drama since the stage version of "War Horse" galloped into international renown several years ago.
"Dog" shares part of the pedigree of "War Horse," the story of a boy and his horse during World War I, which was also first staged at the National Theater under the direction of Ms. Elliott (and Tom Morris), with Mr. Treadaway as the leading lad. The principal flaws of "Dog" are also like those of "War Horse." Both shows are too long in the telling, and their sentimentality can on occasion slide into cuteness or, worse, condescension.
But "Dog" is also like "War Horse" in its ability to create a theatrical world that somehow feels more lifelike than life itself. In "War Horse" it was the title character and his equine peers, giant puppets summoned into being before our eyes, that were the source of that magical transformation.
Here it's the inspired visuals that give pulsing form to the way one person thinks. The designer Bunny Christie has created a black graph-paper box of a set that suggests provisional order imposed on infinite darkness. Objects and clothes glow in the sort of neon-bright hues that fashion editors keep vainly trying to push upon their readers but which have a very serious reason to be in this production.
The colors are part of a crucial code by which Christopher identifies familiar images and helps keep at bay the roiling strangeness of what lies beyond. A whiz at the abstractions of mathematics, Christopher has what he calls (in Mr. Haddon's book) "Behavioral Problems."
These are triggered whenever anyone or anything disrupts his tidy interior universe by touching him, perhaps, or speaking in metaphors. That's when his world heaves and mutates, a process summoned by a technical team that includes Paule Constable (lighting), Finn Ross (video) and Ian Dickinson (sound).
These artists — along with the movement directors Scott Graham and Steven Hoggett — help create the sensory equivalent of the first-person narration of Mr. Haddon's novel, in which Christopher sets out to solve several mysteries. These include what really happened to a dog found murdered in his neighborhood and the disappearance of his mother (a very good Holly Aird), whom his father (Sean Gleeson, first rate) tells him died two years before the play begins.
To the credit of Mr. Stephens, a probing and original dramatist ("Harper Regan," "Port"), the plot is never less than clear, no matter what detours it takes. The ensemble, as a whole, is scary and exaggerated in just the right ways in embodying the challenges posed by the existence of others. The problem for me comes in having Siobhan (Niamh Cusack), Christopher's special education teacher, recite the story he has written, presented as a school project.
Ms. Cusack does this with a gushy, artificial sense of wonder that you associate with grown-ups talking to small children. Though the device of Siobhan as an interpreter is retired for much of the second act, she shows up again to step outside the show and suggest that this play is a work that Christopher has made by his very own self.
Yuck. Perhaps the point here is that even the best-intentioned souls can be patronizing about the struggles of the mentally challenged. Or perhaps the show's creators believed this tone of voice is necessary to appeal to the children in the audience. In any case it is likely to irritate anybody older than 8.
Mr. Treadaway, on the other hand, inhabits his character without distancing preciousness. He gives a lyrical, intensely physical performance that finds the poetry in the ways Christopher both stretches out and shuts down.
Since "Dog" was first published Mr. Haddon has said that he objects to the term "Asperger's syndrome" in defining Christopher. He should be pleased that in this production his hero seems less like a case history than an extreme version of every one of us, doing our daily best to make sense of our own senses.

Jamaica's Tourism Minister hopes to attract more visitors from Asia
- Written by wiredja Online News

World Routes is the central meeting place for airline industry powerbrokers to discuss and implement air service."This is where all of the wheeling and dealing takes place. We have to remember that the whole issue of connectivity is central to growth," Mr. Bartlett explained.
"We have recognised that the emerging markets in Asia are going to be very strong and we have to position ourselves. In fact, the fastest-growing area in the world for outgoing tourism today is South East Asia. Those are the largest number of people that are flying," he added.
Those are the largest number of people that are flying," he added.
Mr. Bartlett also pointed out that China has 120 million visitors going to different parts of the world and it is important for Jamaica to make a play for a slice of that market.
"Part of the discussions at the World Routes Council will be about connectivity and who goes where. There will be talks about route planning and we want to be there to make our presence felt and our intentions known," the Minister said.
Mr. Bartlett said there are immediate plans for connections through different places, and there are talks about a connection between Air China and Air Canada into Montego Bay.
"There is also another connection from Beijing to Tijuana and then into Montego Bay. We also want to tidy up the arrangements with Cuba, where we can have Air China fly into Cuba and then from there to Jamaica," the Minister added.
The event, Mr. Bartlett said, is expected to attract more than 3,500 delegates from 350 airlines, 1,000 airports, and 300 tourism authorities from some 125 countries.
World Routes is the annual meeting place for airlines, airports, tourism authorities and other aviation stakeholders. It is where the world's airline network planners meet with tourism authorities and their airports in order to evaluate existing air services and explore the potential for new ones.

Warning: This issue is recent and as such will contain spoilers. I will have a short spoiler-free section where I vaguely say what happened in the issue as well as my opinion. Past the spoiler-free section will have spoilers. Also, the "Ratings" section at the bottom of the post will be spoiler-free as well. You have officially been warned.
Hello interweb, Nate here. So Monday I talked about what is going on with Convergence, and Yesterday I reviewed Convergence: Superman #1. Today I review Convergence: Batgirl #1! Let's geth this review going!
Writer: Alisa Kwitney
Artist: Rick Leonardi (Penciler), Mark Pennington (Inker)
Colorist: Steve Buccellato
Non-Spoiler Review
After the dome went up, Stephanie Brown quite being being Batgirl. One year later, the dome goes down and Stephanie is selected to be Pre-Flashpoint Gotham City's champion and as such Red Robin (Yum!) and Black Bat needs to help her get back into shape so she can actually fight well. This issue was really good. I loved the interactions between Stephanie Brown, Tim Drake, and Cassandra Cain and I love how Steph is coming back into the comics as Batgirl again and I definitely would love it if she becomes the Batgirl for the post-Convergence universe and just left Barbra Gordan as Oracle as Steph is just cute, fun, and an interesting character. However, this comic does rely on you knowing these character's histories so if you don't know what Pre-Flashpoint DC looked like than I wouldn't suggest this comic.
Characters Introduced in this Issue
Batgirl (Stephanie Brown): Stephanie Brown is the daughter to the villain Cluemaster and as such decided to become the superhero Spoiler to stop Cluemaster. Since then Steph has also been Robin (for an extremely short amount of time) and is currently the current Batgirl. If Barbra Gordan's the BA, butt-kicking Batgirl, than Stephanie Brown would have to be the cute, fun, and lovable Batgirl who is to Tim Drake what Barbra is to Dick Grayson.
-Powers: Normal human but does have some fighting skills and is apparently wanting to become a doctor later in life.
-Universe: Pre-Flashpoint
Black Bat (Cassandra Cain): Cassandra Cain was born to professional assassins and as such was trained since birth to be an assassin. Because they wanted her to become a fighter, she actually wasn't taught hoe to speak until later as they wanted her "language" to be the "language of fighting". As a result, she actually can't read (which is quite a shame really).
-Powers: While Cassandra is just a normal human, she is a very skilled fighter. Batman himself actually stated that he would probably lose to her in a hand-to-hand fight.
-Universe: Pre-Flashpoint
Red Robin (Tim Drake): Tim Drake is the 3rd Robin who is known for being the detective Robin. I made a bio on him a while ago that you can check out here.
-Powers: He's a normal human, however he has a lot of skill in fighting and is the best detective of all the Robins.
-Universe: Pre-Flashpoint
Catman (Thomas Blake): Catman is C-list Batman villain that is considered a laughing stock amongst his villains.
-Powers: Normal human
-Universe: Pre-Flashpoint
Gorilla Grodd: In this universe, Grodd is the ruler of Gorilla City (yes, there is a Gorilla City).
-Powers: Due to being a super intelligent Gorilla, Grodd is super intelligent, Strong, and has telepathic powers.
-Universe: Flashpoint
The story starts somewhere in the dessert where we see Batgirl Black Bat, and Red Robin. Batgirl leaves the group to find a place to go to the bathroom. While gone, she's jumped by Catman. During the fight, Red Robin shows up to help but Stephanie tells him she can handle Catman herself. During the fight, Catman mentions how he should be dealing with Gorilla Grodd instead of Stephanie Brown. Suddenly, and seemingly randomly, Stephanie take off and heads toward where they left Black Bat and we see her fighting Gorilla Grodd.
We then cut to a flashback 1 year ago where Stephanie Brown decides to hang up her Batgirl costume after the dome went up. While not being Batgirl, Steph helps out at a hospital. After helping a woman give birth, she left with one of the nurses at the hospital. On her way home, she's jumped by a villain but basically tells him to knock it off, leaving the villain confused as she simply walks away.
Back at her apartment, Black Bat shows up and gets into her civilian outfit as Cassandra. As Stephanie and Cassandra chats with each other, Cassandra decided she wants to cook the guinea pig in her apartment. Stephanie than angrily tells her to put it down and says that she'll fight her for it. This prompts Cassandra to test this and throws a punch at her (without even looking) and Steph blocks it. Cassandra then asks her what she did in which Steph tells her that she reacted. Cassandra tells her that reacting isn't fighting and they get into a little argument about it. Just then, a news reporter tells them that the dome went down and Gotham City needs a champion to defend their city among others. A list of champions shows up on the screen and Batgirl is one of them.
Cassandra gets into her Black Bat outfit, Stephanie gets into her Batgirl outfit, and they head onto the rooftop to train. During the fight, Batgirl zones out thinking about the when she used to be Spoiler and how fun it was. Black Bat snaps her out and is scared at how rusty she is. Batgirl replies with "MY BAD" and Red Robin shows up and asks her if that's what she's gonna say once she loses. They then see a bunch of people trying to leave the city now that the dome's down but the police is trying to keep them back. Batgirl threatens to blind them to get the to calm down, but strange bubbles heads towards them and teleports Batgirl but accidentally brings Red Robin and Black Bat with her, bringing them to the desert we saw at the beginning.
The art, is ok. For the most part it's fine, but for some reason characters are constantly shown to have simply faces which got kinda distracting. Let me elaborate, a lot of times artists will draw characters with simple faces (e.g. no eye brows, nose, pupils, or lips and just a line for the mouth and a circle for eyes) when a panal does not need to be detailed or a character is in the background. And this is usually fine, but I felt like the artist used the simple dace at times where it wasn't necessary and it got kinda distracting.
The cover is pretty intriguing as it shows Batgirl, Red Robin, and Black Bat in front of the dome with Gorilla Grodd in the background. Although besides that, they're just standing their staring at the reader.
Final Thoughts
The comic was really good. I really missed Stephanie Brown and she's really good in this issue. I really liked the interactions in this issue between the three characters and you can tell how close they all are. You can really tell that these characters have been friends for years.
Although while I liked the comic, I wouldn't recommend it to new readers. If you've only been reading New 52 titles and never read a pre-Flashpoint title than you'll be completely lost as it references a lot of old things quite a bit.
Also one thing I was confused about is that in the Superman title the voice just stated that the cities needs champions. In this title and the Harley Quinn title, Harley and Batgirl were specifically chosen to be the champions of their city (even though they're in the same city). I've seen some reviews of week one of Convergence online and apparently Batgirl and Harley Quinn are the only ones who had their champions chosen specifically. So I think there are some bugs going on behind the scenes at DC.
-Great interaction between characters
-Love Stephanie Brown
-Shows how the dome has been affecting their lives nicely
-Not very new-comer friendly
-Uses the "simple face" a bit too often for my taste
1=terrible, 2=bad, 3=ok, 4=good, 5=outstanding
Characters – 5: The interactions between the characters are really good and you can tell how the dome's been effecting everyone
Story – 4.5: Love the interactions between the characters and the story is set up quite nicely, but I feel like there is a continuity problem with who's the champions as this (and Harley Quinn) are the only titles who had their champions specifically chosen
Art – 3.5: Overuse of the simply face can get kinda distracting at times
Comic – 4.5: If you're a fan of Stephanie Brown and the Pre-Flashpoint universe than check out this comic. But if your new to comics (i.e. you only know the universe of the New 52) than I would try a different comic.
See you guys tomorrow for Convergence: Harley Quinn #1, Peace X

Commander Highlights Iranian Navy's Growing Capabilities
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Iranian navy is now much more powerful compared to previous years, Navy commander said Tuesday, noting that the progress has taken place in diverse fields.
"At the time being, we have become much more capable compared with the past years, at various levels such as maintenance, equipping coastal, airborne, marine, submarine and trans-regional units, and even in the field of hygiene and treatment," Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari said on Tuesday, in a cultural gathering in southern city of Bandar Abbas.
He also noted that the high-ranking Navy commanders have acquired scientific knowledge of managing the naval forces in recent years.
In relevant remarks on October 12, Rear Admiral Sayyari reasserted his forces' ability to defend and safeguard the country's territorial waters, saying any potential threat will face a crushing response.
"We will respond to any country that violates Iran's territorial waters," Sayyari said in a gathering of navy personnel in northern Iran.
Referring to the significant role of Iranian naval forces in ensuring security of the country's trade cargoes in all shipping routes, the commander said at the time that "The Islamic Republic of Iran's Navy has the honor to provide security for Iran's fleet of commercial vessels in international waters."
He further pointed to the navy's successful missions to thwart a series of pirate attacks against Iranian vessels in the Gulf of Aden, adding that pirates faced a strong response from the naval forces when they were trying to seize one of the country's biggest oil tankers some days ago.
Since November 2008, the Iranian navy has conducted anti-piracy missions in the Gulf of Aden and Bab el-Mendeb strait to protect the country's cargo ships and oil tankers against pirates.
Under the terms of several UN Security Council resolutions, nations can deploy warships to the Gulf of Aden and coastal waters of Somalia to protect their vessels against the pirates and, after giving notice to Somali government, enter Somali territorial in pursuit of the pirates.

The Halton Catholic District School Board Leadership Strategy has been developed to foster leadership of the highest possible quality in our schools and school board. The Halton Catholic District School Board's Leadership Journey is a comprehensive program designed to support student achievement and well-being by developing passionate and skilled leaders in our schools and board.
We know that school leaders have a profound impact on student achievement, second only to teachers. Likewise, system leaders have a crucial role to play in creating successful schools. While research shows that the Principal is second only to the teacher in improving student achievement, it also shows that it is leadership distributed across a system that has the greatest potential to impact student learning. Hence, the Halton Catholic District School Board Leadership Strategy, implemented through the Leadership Journey program, is designed to offer all employees an opportunity to consider leadership potential and to build on leadership capacity.
"As an educational leader, you are contributing to one of the most exciting – and challenging periods in the history of Ontario's education system. The targets being set and achieved in Ontario have put our education system on a world stage as a centre of excellence. At the same time, effective leadership has emerged as one of the critical foundations needed to sustain and enhance system-wide improvement.
What is leadership? What does effective leadership look like? What role does leadership play in the education setting? And most importantly, in the midst of day-to-day pressures, how can leadership skills help us to do more with less, streamline and focus our efforts, and achieve our practical goals and targets?
The Ministry made a commitment to a number of initiatives intended to develop, support and sustain the highest quality leadership possible in schools and boards across the province. To ensure a consistent and effective approach to implementing these initiatives, Ontario's Leadership Framework was developed."
The Ontario Leadership Framework is an outline of the practices and competencies for individuals (supervisory officers, Principals and Vice Principals) and system practices and procedures for districts. Catholic School Boards have adopted a Catholic Leadership Framework that charts the necessary components of Catholic leadership.
The Catholic Leadership Framework is designed to:

If you own an Xbox and are an RPG fan like I am, then you realize the painful fact that is the overall lack of titles available. Yes, the original Xbox was scarce with RPG hits, whereas the Playstation2 was literally thriving. The 360 has been out for almost a year now, and the situation is not any different. In fact, the first "real" RPG was Oblivion, but that was also available for the PC also.
Welcome to the Japanese developer FromSoftware, who recently brought us Chrome Hounds for the 360 and soon Armored Core 4 for the PS3/360. Known as "Enchant Arm" in Japan, the game is focused around Atsuma, a kid from Yokohama with a poignant and naive attitude.This is not your everyday RPG leading role, if it can be considered "leading". Atsuma is not the brightest from the bunch, and that's quickly evident within minutes of playing. Throughout the adventure, you will meet a slew of characters that will steer him, and your posse, in the right direction. A recipe for success!
This is an RPG that's unique in many ways, and I will be touching on all of them. Golems play a huge role, but they may differ from your own concept of what Golems should be. In Enchanted Arms, Golems are the remnant of a war that took place over 1,000 years ago. They are creatures that come in many forms, but none have a mind of their own. They will kill you on sight, if you don't defeat them first.
Golems are scattered throughout the entire landscape, but are not only for you to defeat. In a Pokemon-esque fashion, you have the ability to earn them for your own use by various means. Some you will have to defeat during your quest, and others may just fall into your lap. If you are wanting to try different Golems and have cash on you, you can head to any of the store stops and purchase them there. If you can't tell by now, the entire game is based around these Golems, which blows the doors wide open for customization and tweaking.
As you go through battles, any of the monsters you are fighting will be available as a collectible Golem. It's just up to you to find out where to find them, if that's your decision. Each Golem has it's own style and skill set, albeit small ones. Each also is associated with a certain element, so if you are up against an ice creature, then fire-based Golems will help you out well there.
That said, although Golems are a massive part of the game, you are not required to include them in your own party. For the majority of the game you will be in a team of four characters, all human. You can swap out one of the humans and replace with a Golem that has a specific purpose, or just play with the leading characters. The game is designed for you to take advantage of the Golems, but I will admit something. I beat the game with the primary four characters and no Golems at all. I simply did not enjoy testing out each Golem to see who was effective where, but if you are a diehard player who loves to find the most effective way to slaughter, then you will be in a heaven.
The overall gameplay is simple and should only take you about fifteen minutes to fully understand the game and also the fighting system. When not in a town, you will always have the ability to run into a random battle. You will not see the enemies roaming the landscape (bosses you will), so it's complete "surprise" when you find yourself in a battle.
Enchanted Arms sticks to the tried and proven turn-based style of fighting. If the opponents are not much higher in level as you are, then you will always be permitted to choose your attacks first. Once you execute your string of attacks, the enemy will take his turn. Of course, each side will have their turn until the opposers are all perished.
FromSoftware wanted to make things a little interesting though, and added a pinch of strategy. Each side of the battle will have a 3 deep and 4 wide grid that they are constrained in. By default, all of the characters will be able to move in a fixed pattern. Depending on where your character is standing, if you wish to move, a total of five squares will light up showing you where you are able to go. In effect, this adds a lot of strategy, because sometimes it will take you two moves to get to the other side of the grid, if you so need the ability. This can become difficult at times where you do not have an attack skill capable of reaching an enemy.
Personally, I was not keen on the style at first, but it grew on me. Once you figure out how to properly set up your characters and execute the battle properly, you will do fine. But that leads me to another aspect of the game that I found to be an annoyance. Each one of your characters will have a VP (Vitality Points) meter that will degrade after each battle. Atsuma for example, has a total of 100 VP and Karin has 50. If you finish a battle in the very first turn, then there is no penalty. Depending on how many turns the battle required and whether or not a character died, it will all affect how much of your VP is taken away. If the battle simply required 2 turns, then you lose 1 point for each character, and 3 turns would take away 2. If one of your characters died, it could take between 6 – 10… harsh.
How VP affects your characters though is not evident until you lose it all. Once at 0, the character will be unable to fight, until one turn has passed. You do -not- want to go into a battle with any of your characters at 0 VP, I can assure you. This leads to some complicated parts in the game, so you will want to make sure you bring along potions that restore your characters points.
As you progress, whenever the characters must speak to each other, you are brought into a cutscene. An avatar of each character is shown, and there is actual voice if it's an important part of the game. Voice or not though, subtitles are always shown at the bottom. If you are bored of what's being said, you can easily rapid tap the A button to skip through it in a breeze. If you, like me, tend to read the bottom instead of listening to the voice, then you will easily be able to read the dialogue faster than they speak it.
At some points during the game, there will be a lot of these scenes. I recall one lasting just over an hour, with about three minutes of actual walking around in between. If you are not the type of player who enjoys an equal amount of gameplay as you do story, Enchanted Arms may annoy you.

Finally Having a New Diagnosis –
After two years of knowing that there was something very wrong with me and being sent from specialist to specialist to specialist with no help I am finally getting some treatment. It feels so nice to know, that for the first time in two years, the doctor didn't just brush me off, but truly listened.
I have been diagnosed with two times the normal level of Estrogen, an Estrogen Dependence, and only one-third the normal level of Testosterone. (See below for what symptoms of this are like.) I am now about 12 days into bio-identical hormone replacement therapy and should hopefully start to see some small improvements in about two more weeks. I should feel more like my old self around May.
Signs/Symptoms of Estrogen Dependence (levels too high):
– Bloating
– Swelling
– Change in Periods
– Headaches
– Mood Swings
– Weight Gain
– Cold Hands and Feet
– Always Tired
– No Energy
– Memory problems/Brain Fog
– Difficulty Sleeping
– Increased PMS Symptoms
– Decreased Sex Drive
Signs/Symptoms of Testosterone Shortage (levels too low):
– Loss of Sex Drive
– Loss of Muscle Strength/Mass
– Weight Gain (especially around the belly)
– Fatigue/Exhaustion
– Insomnia
– Diminished Motivation
– Decreased Sense of Well Being
– Depression
– Mood Swings
– Anxiety
– Lack of Concentration
Getting Back to Cross Training –
Now that I have been cleared of my Adrenal Fatigue issues, since we decided it is all hormone related, I am allowed to get back to a regular workout schedule. Over the past 2 years I have not been doing much, but specifically over the last 7/8 months I have been very slowly and easily running about 2 times a week, no more.
What I missed most about this time off was not just my running, but the fact that I couldn't do any of my strength training which I usually do as cross training. Man I felt so weak without it. So, as I get back to regular exercise adding back in strength/cross training is my top goal.
My plan is to add Orange Theory Fitness back in twice a week (I have an 8 class a month membership that fits this perfectly) and then to start barre once a week as a lower impact day that still provides strength work. I started last week and I made it to Orange Theory twice and barre once, for three workouts total. I am trying to slowly easy my body back in. This week my goal is to add in a run day so I hit 4 workouts total. I plan to increase until I hit 5/6 workouts each and every week.
Nuun Hydration Blackberry Citrus –
I always use Nuun Hydration in my water before and after workouts. I like that it provides all the electrolytes of a sports drink, but it is super low calorie and doesn't bother my stomach at all. I have been on the Cherry Limeade bandwagon for a long time, it has always been my favorite. However, their new Blackberry Citrus is freaking amazing! I have a new favorite for sure. It is part of the new Nuun Vitamins line so in addition to the electrolytes it has added vitamins, plus as one of the Energy versions it has naturally sources caffeine (like from green tea) to give me a little pickup. I LOVE finding new favorite.
The Magicians –
This one is for all my Harry Potter heads out there and anyone who grew up on Narnia. Think of what it would be like if Harry's Hogwarts letter didn't come until he were 22 and applying for grad schools. What would it be like to live your whole life knowing that you were different, you didn't fit in, that there was something strange about you? How in the world would you cope with that? What would you turn to?
This is just what ThThe Magicians: Season One seeks to answers. It is a quick witted show that explores what happens when you finally find out you are a magician, at age 22, when you are sent to a magical grad school. This show is fabulous, but not suitable for your Harry Potter loving children as there are curse words, plus sex and drug references (the things some of the magicians did to cope).
It is available to stream on NetFlix, or if you don't have that option you can always buy it, The Magicians: Season One Please some of you who love Harry Potter of grew up on Narnia check it out and let me know if you got as sucked in as I did. (It is the first time I have ever actually binge watched an ENTIRE season of one show in a single day!)
Let me know –
What are you loving lately?
have you tried any of the new Nuun Vitamins flavors?
Have you found any new fabulous shows/movies?

Aging and dental health complement each other in a variety of ways. As the years tick by, our bodies become older and our bones weaker. However, there are plenty of exercises and treatments to keep your body in great shape. Although you may have been able to keep your teeth clean with some bad habits and lackadaisical treatment approaches, it becomes much more crucial to improve your oral health care as your teeth age and weaken. Here are some of the basics of aging and dental health:
– For individuals with dentures, be sure to care for your dentures as well as you would for natural teeth. In addition, dentures should be removed every night for cleaning. Soak them in an approved denture-cleaning liquid or plain water.
– Avoid sugary foods and other snacks that can damage your teeth easily. This includes hard foods that can chip or crack your teeth.
– Floss daily with a dental floss that can survive without tearing apart. Shred resistant dental floss can ensure your dental habits can be done effectively. If you struggle when flossing, consider switching to another interdental cleaner such as a water flosser.
– If you feel any changes occurring in your mouth, contact Witty Family and Cosmetic Dentistry for an oral examination. Also, remember to always attend your bi-annual professional cleanings.
– Bad habits have worse effects for older individuals. Avoid habits such as smoking, drinking heavily, chewing tobacco, heavy drug use, and poor diet.
– Never stop brushing your teeth. This includes brushing twice daily. If you are beginning to struggle when brushing, due to arthritis or other bone or muscle conditions, consider switching to an electric toothbrush.
If you would like to schedule an oral examination or professional cleaning, simply call our dentist office in Nicholasville, Kentucky, at our number 859-881-4633. Dr. Casey Witty and our entire team look forward to making helping make your smile great!

We were sent Toby Haynes by someone that follows our site. Thanks FC.
The pictures we saw were comical. The guy looks to be in his mid 20's early 30's. Turns out he was born in 1986.
In the pictures, he's wearing a 12th Special Forces Group "Flash" on his beret.
The 12th was deactivated, along with the 11th Special Forces Group, on 15 September 1995, meaning he was about 9 when they were no longer active.
Sooo, if we take into consideration Basic/AIT/Airborne/Selection/and the SFQC (Special Forces Qualification Course), He would've had to enter the service when he was 6 or 7 depending on his MOS. Talk about busting ass!!
He wears:
CIB True
MFF Wings False, Not even Airborne
Special Forces Long Tab False, never even attempted the SFQC
Airborne Tab and USASOC Patch False, never Airborne or in that unit.
Corporal False, He ETS'd a PV-1
Row 1:
Distinguished Service Medal False
Row 2:
BSM x 2 False
Purple Heart False
Row 3:
Joint Service Commendation Medal x 2 False
Army Commendation Medal with V Device True
Row 4:
Army Achievement Medal True
Navy Combat Action Ribbon False
Combat Readiness Medal False
Row 5:
Good Conduct Medal False
Berlin Airlift Medal w/o device, issued from 1948-49 False (LOL)
National Defense Service Medal True
Row 6:
Afghanistan Campaign Ribbon True
Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal False
Global War on Terrorism Service Medal True
Row 7:
Air Force Military Training Instructor Ribbon False
Army Service Ribbon True
Army Distinguished Civilian Service Award Ribbon False
Row 8:
Overseas Ribbon True
Air Force Small Arms Marksmanship Ribbon False
United Nations Ribbon False
Row 9
NATO Medal True
NATO Training Mission Iraq Medal False
Multinational Force Observer Medal (V device) False
Basic Parachute False, never attended much less graduated Airborne school
Air Assault False, never attended much less graduated Air Assault school
Expert in Everything False
SCUBA False, never attended much less graduated Combat Diver Qulification Course
After looking at his records, it looks like he was an 11C, Indirect Fire Infantryman for a little over a year. He might have had an issue or two from his short time in the service and the fact that he ETS'd a PV-1.
It also looks like he has others issues besides Stolen Valor. Here's the Link to article about his manslaughter.
Toby Haynes, fake Green Beret, you'll now be added to Guardiansofthegreenberet.com Hall of Fakes, frauds, and Phonies under those not worth our time.
He'll be filed in those not worth our time.

We spent almost 2 years under the leadership of this man. We put our complete trust in him and now here we are. We are hurt and angered by this.
As of February 2019, David Shaffer was expelled from Minnesota Freemasonry and the Shriners because of this conduct.
It's been just over 12 years since he went to jail (then prison) for what he did to me. I'm still haunted by it all every day. He is a monster, true evil.
I really can't describe the feeling I had when I once again did the periodic check online to see if Gilbert had been arrested yet.I strangely found comfort in the fact that he was not captured and brought back to Florida for his warrants there . I knew he was in Colorado somewhere but I never wanted him to come back to Florida with another slap on the wrist or turning CI to get out of trouble and I feel at danger again , however , I never really felt safe knowing he was out there at all. I was contacted months back by someone asking if I had seen him and making sure I was safe because he stated he was coming back to Florida and was on the run from the FBI I was told . I didn't sleep for a month well after that. I can't describe the terror I dealt with being involved with this person , the healing that is still taking place for myself and my children . He is a lifelong con man , he's very convincing and by the time you realize the truth you are in danger and he's extremely violent . Being a con man he hatches elaborate ways to tear your life apart , set you up , spread convincing and dangerous lies , he managed to blackmail me for things that he created for me out of fear and the cloud of abuse and threats from him for so long . I tried many agencies to help me no one believed me or did anything about him . He would re enter my home for a year telling lies and slandering me across the internet social media , with people even threatening me because they believed him he was so convincing . I slept with baseball bats and knives for years because of him. My children are still tormented because of things he did and said and the entire experience . I actually had to leave my job , my home and my children just to get away from him .
He has always lied about being in the military , he had me convinced of the same thing as well as everyone who knew him for a long long time , also lied about being in with Florida motorcycle gangs and would use that as a threat as well , he always stated he was SF and medic , said injured in Afghanistan and that's why he has seizures , also not true , I found evidence of him lying to women on social media also impersonating a SF years ago , he had gotten pictures of soldiers with beards that looked very much like him and he knew a lot of the lingo and studied it , he also pretended to be a firefighter and ex firefighter to people as well. That was another of his cons . He always wore military type gear and shirts he would buy offline or from people or army navy store etc I actually still have a couple of them around Idk why , maybe to remind me of what I let happen to me and the damage it did so that I never allow that to ever happen to me again. He changed me then in terrible ways and I never could figure out how to get away or out of the situations . I never experienced someone like him - in no fool or naive , I have an experienced life but the extent he will go .... photoshopping pictures , editing fake text conversations etc making false reports to child protection agencies etc etc .... people believe him and he can turn your life upside down between that , setting you up and threats Therof and physical violence . He has also been to prison in Massachusetts or Missouri I believe for weapons and violence against another woman I found out later . He treats his mother and youngest daughter the same way with threats and control and violence , has 3 other children all in different states as well .... he's mentally disturbed and dangerous and I am hoping they actually keep him for a very long time so my children and I can feel safe .
I'm so happy you guys were diligent and captured him . The alias he was using is someone that I know as well whom was in prison when he started using that alias .
Thank you for flushing him out and catching him . Thank you so much I can't explain how I felt
Reading all of this , validating things for me in a way because I don't think a lot of people where I'm from still believed me . His lies seemed too far fetched , details and convincing fake evidence , he had people coming after me thinking I was many many things and done things I had not as a way to intimidate me .
I have a damaged jaw , ptsd and still working to start my life over in every aspect and help my kids overcome the damage that he did to them . His name and face will haunt me probably for life and I'm sorry to the other woman who fell for this because I completely and truly understand how it happens and the web that he weaves . I'm happy no one got physically hurt and I will hope to see him get some serious time .
Yet another Piece of Shit phony. When will it stop?
Good Lord. 🤦🏻♂
VFW Post 10226 voted unanimously at it's monthly meeting tonight to revoke his membership and he is also banned for life from the building. Now he will have to hang out at the Chuckee Cheese soda fountain and tell all the 8 year olds about his good old days in SF. But then again the 8 year olds will probably say "Dude, shut the f#ck up. You're a poser. Now pour me another orange soda".
I can tell you for a fact that he has never been to the VA for any treatments. He actually told me that he cant go to one( supposedly because the government was denying his existence due to covert mission involvement) he does not have a real vetrans ID either. If he is carrying one, it's fake. I'd love to know what name he has on it. Recently in Texas he has been going by the name Alex ( which I believe is actually the name of the guy at the Sky bar down in Florida where they put on a fund raiser for him under the false pretense that he was ex-special forces wounded in combat.)
Unfortunately I know this turd. He was a real black eye for the VFW post on Oak Island. Thank God he is no longer a part of it. Many of us knew he was a liar and fraud about many things, Nice to finally officially know the truth. He will soon have his VFW cred's revoked and the American legion has also dropped him from the rolls. Great work guys. Thank you for maintaining the honor and beauty of that wonderful head gear known as the Green Beret and the bravery and valor of the unique men who have the privilege of wearing it. Keep it up!
I saw this article and it made my blood boil. My dad wasn't a Green Beret, he was in the Air Force. He went to Vietnam 1964, 1971 and a smaller stint between the two tours. Those who go to war do not brag about what they did in the war. Those who flaunt their "accomplishments" are more likely than not, fake. I know of someone who tells everyone, including his sons and now grandkids, that he is a Green Beret that served in Vietnam and received medals. In 1972 (i eill need to verify the year), he joined the Reserves so to not be drafted for Vietnam. Can you guys help me find the truth?

5th I & E Electronic Measurement (Module1 & 3) Performance attributes of measurements The essential purpose of instruments is to sense or source things in the physical world. The performance of an instrument can thus be understood and characterized by the following concepts: ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ Connection to the variable of interest. The inability to make a suitable connection could stem from physical requirements, difficulty of probing a silicon wafer, or from safety considerations (the object of interest or its environment might be hazardous). Sensitivity refers to the smallest value of the physical property that is detectable. For example, humans can smell sulfur if its concentration in air is a few parts per million. However, even a few parts per billion are sufficient to corrode electronic circuits. Gas chromatographs are sensitive enough to detect such weak concentrations. Resolution specifies the smallest change in a physical property that causes a change in the measurement or sourced quantity. For example, humans can detect loudness variations of about 1 dB, but a sound level meter may detect changes as small as 0.001 dB. Dynamic Range refers to the span from the smallest to the largest value of detectable stimuli. For instance, a voltmeter can be capable of registering input from 10 microvolts to 1 kilovolt. Linearity specifies how the output changes with respect to the input. The output of perfectly linear device will always increase in direct proportion to an increase in its input. For instance, a perfectly linear source would increase its output by exactly 1 millivolt if it were adjusted from 2 to 3 millivolts. Also, its output would increase by exactly 1 millivolt if it were adjusted from 10.000 to 10.001 volts. Accuracy refers to the degree to which a measurement corresponds to the true value of the physical input. Lag and Settling Time refer to the amount of time that lapses between requesting measurement or output and the result being achieved. Sample Rate is the time between successive measurements. The sample rate can be limited by either the acquisition time (the time it takes to determine the magnitude of the physical variable of interest) or the output rate (the amount of time required to report the result).
Ideal instruments As shown in Fig. 1.3, the role of an instrument is as a transducer, relating properties of the physical world to information. The transducer has two primary interfaces; the input is connected to the physical world (DUT) and the output is information communicated to the operator. (For stimulus instruments, the roles of input and output are reversed—that is, the input is the information and the output is the physical stimulus of the DUT.) The behavior of the instrument as a transducer can be characterized in terms of its transfer function—the ratio of the output to the input. Ideally, the transfer function of the instrument would be simply a unit conversion. For example, a voltmeter's transfer function could be "X degrees of movement in the display meter per electrical volt at the DUT." Ideal instruments. A simple instrument example. A common example of an instrument is the mercury-bulb thermometer Since materials expand with increasing temperature, a thermometer can be constructed by bringing a reservoir of mercury into thermal contact with the device under test. The resultant volume of mercury is thus related to the temperature of the DUT. When a small capillary is connected to the mercury reservoir, the volume of mercury can be detected by the height that the mercury rises in the capillary column. Ideally, the length of the mercury in the capillary is directly proportional to the temperature of the reservoir. (The transfer function would be X inches of mercury in the column per degree.) Markings along the length of the column can be calibrated to indicate the temperature of the DUT. . A mercury-bulb thermometer.
Some alternate information displays for an electrical signal. Types of instruments Although all instruments share the same basic role, there is a large variety of instruments. As mentioned previously, some instruments are used for measurements, while others are designed to provide stimulus. Figure 1.3 illustrates three primary elements of instruments that can be used to describe variations among instruments. 1. The interface to the DUT depends on the nature of the physical property to be measured (e.g., temperature, pressure, voltage, mass, time) and the type of connection to the instrument. Different instruments are used to measure different things. 2. The operator interface is determined by the kind of information desired about the physical property, and the means by which the information is communicated. For example, the user of an instrument that detects electrical voltage may desire different information about the electrical signal (e.g., rms voltage, peak voltage, waveform shape, frequency, etc.), depending upon the application. The interface to the instrument may be a colorful graphic display for a human, or it may be an interface to a computer. Figure 1.5illustrates several possible information displays for the same electrical signal. 3. The fidelity of the transformation that takes place within the instrument itself—the extent to which the actual instrument behaves like an ideal instrument—is the third element that differentiates instruments. The same limitations of human perception described in the introduction apply to the behavior of instruments. The degree to which the instrument overcomes these limitations (for example, the accuracy, sensitivity, and sample rate) is the primary differentiator between instruments of similar function. Electronic instruments Electronic instruments have several advantages over purely mechanical ones, including: Electronic instruments are a natural choice when measuring electrical devices. The sophistication of electronics allows for improved signal and information processing within the instrument. Electronic instruments can make sophisticated measurements, incorporate calibration routines within the instrument, and present the information to the user in a variety of formats. Electronic instruments enable the use of computers as controllers of the instruments for fully automated measurement systems.
Oscilloscope: The oscilloscope is, a voltmeter. Instead of the mechanical deflection of a metallic pointer as used in the normal voltmeters, the oscilloscope uses the movement of an electron beam against a fluorescent screen, which produces the movement of a visible spot. The movement of such spot on the screen is proportional to the varying magnitude of the signal, which is under measurement. Basic Principle: • The electron beam can be deflected in two directions: the horizontal or x-direction and the vertical or y-direction. • Thus an electron beam producing a spot can be used to produce two dimensional displays. Thus CRO can be regarded as a fast x-y plotter. • The x-axis and y-axis can be used to study the variation of one voltage as a function of another. Typically the x-axis of the oscilloscope represents the time while the y-axis represents variation of the input voltage signal. • Thus if the input voltage signal applied to the y-axis of CRO is sinusoidally varying and if x-axis represents the time axis, then the spot moves sinusoidally, and the familiar sinusoidal waveform can be seen on the screen of the oscilloscope. • The oscilloscope is so fast device that it can display the periodic signals whose time period is as small as microseconds and even nanoseconds. • The CRO. Basically operates on voltages, but it is possible to convert current, pressure, strain, acceleration and other physical quantities into the voltage using transducers and obtain their visual representations on the CRO. Cathode Ray Tube (CRT): • • The cathode ray tube (CRT) is the heart of the CRO. CRT generates the electron beam, accelerates the beam, deflects the beam, and also has a screen where beam becomes visible, as a spot. The main parts of the CRT are: i) Electron gun ii) Deflection system iii) Fluorescent screen iv) Glass tube or envelope v) Base A schematic diagram of CRT, showing its structure and main components is shown in the Fig.1.

I've been clicking shutters since I was a young student, when I had a Ricoh camera that was so busted, it only worked when you held it upside down.
I love fresh air, big skies and a room with a view. I choose to see beauty everywhere.
I never took my photos serious till a few years ago. I have traveled all over the world, seen the Great Pyramids of Egypt, stood inside the Sistine Chapel, ate lunch outside the Eiffel tower, wandered through Monet's garden and bought wool and wine in Chile. I've had coffee in Turkey, sat in massage chairs in Japan, and I once skipped out on visiting the Great Wall of China to buy the Soprano's box set in a crazy seedy downtown Beijing market.
The Philosophy
The most beautiful thing on the face of the planet is the human body, in all its forms. The nude, the implied nude, the topless, the bodyscape, are all genres of art in their own right, if still socially taboo in certain conservative circles. But it's not just the nude that is socially taboo. In the words of Helmut Newton, "No woman is naked unless she is wearing high heels", so I can say that there is more to the nude than just the naked body. The elements of fetish and bondage that I sometimes bring into my work, as well as the hinted-at eroticism in some of the stuff I do, is just as socially taboo as the nude, if not actually more so.
Every day we are bombarded with idealistic images of beauty that the media would have us believe are real. Women all over the world see these images as a goal, something to aspire to, and we put ourselves under a great deal of pressure in aspiring to achieve goals like this that are used as benchmarks by which to judge our lives. The 'have it all' syndrome – ageless beauty, perfect body, successful career, loving family, house, fashion…and on and on. The female psyche of wanting what is just out of reach is used as a marketing tool on a daily basis – and how we look plays a big part in this. By providing a similar service to ladies who commission me for boudoir photography session, they have a rare opportunity to see themselves with that same polish and gloss, which importantly lifts the veil on those idealistic images that we put so much pressure on ourselves to emulate. My philosophy is that by helping real, normal women realise that they can look just as fabulous, perhaps I can relieve some of that pressure and channel some of my considerable energies into leading more fulfilling lives.

Best Broodals from Super Mario Odysseydarthvadern The Broodals are a villianous team of evil wedding-planer rabbits in Super Mario Odyssey, they serve as Bowser's main henchmen in the game. They are similar to Koopalings. There is a total of five of them. But whivh one's the best? Let's find out.
The Top Ten
and I'm also a video game creator and he is easy to change in the games I am making is super mario link 1, 2 bowser jr is mad, and 3 bowser's bosses are all around
He vomits poison which I think is very cool also he's the enterainer
'Spewart, the group's entertainer. HGe is a Morton Koopa like Broodal dressed in blue thatpukes poison. Sounds disgusting, and is kinda disgusting but he looks really cool so I give him that. The boss battle though is way too easy. He's the fourth/fifth boss in the game and is easier than Rango and Hariet. What? That's another minus. However, he looks really cool so I can't put him the lowest. I think he is good. I mean, blue is my favourite color. His personality is similar to Morton Koopa. - darthvadern
She is by far the best one and she is really funny and pretty.
She is the only girl in the team. And she is girly. She has this purple dress. I'm not really a big fan of her. But she is still good. Purple is though my least favourite color So that's why I didn't put her any higher. But her boss battles re pretty good to be honest. She trhows bombs and you have to get them back at her. I think she's good. She's like the Wendy O. Koopa of the gang. - darthvadern
Better than the lousy Koopalings
Topper is my favourite Broodal. I believe it's an unpopular opinion. But I just really like this guy. He is the most generic of the Broodals, just like Larry is of the Koopalings. But he just really looks so cool. It must really be an unpopular opinion. But I really like Topper. He is liike a mix between Larry Koopa and Ludwig Von Koopa, beaucse he is the leader of the four main Broodals. - darthvadern
He is the bouncer of the gang. I find him pretty hilarious. He is extremly skinny and tall. Much like Waluigi. He wars a straw hat and uses it like a boomerang. I thought it was really creative. He is defintly one of my favourite Broodals. He is very similar to Iggy Koopa - darthvadern
She is the Broodals boss, while Topper is the leader of the four main Broodals, Madame Broode is their suprekme leader aka boss. She is kinda boring honestly, she is pretty much Ludwig Von Koopa except she has a golden pet Chain Chomp, ok. She is also a giant. Way bigger than the Broodals actual airship. She is also a female like Hariet. But she isn't really in the "team". I thought her boss battle was interesting and unique. But she isn't really one of my favourite. She is ok in my opinion. - darthvadern
