Hilda Trevalyan was born on February 4, 1877 in Clapton, London, England as Hilda Marie Antoinette Tucker.
Early in her career she became known for her performance in plays by J. M. Barrie and is probably best remembered for creating the role of Wendy in Peter Pan.
Another early success was as Oliver Twist in a dramatization of Charles Dickens's novel staged by Herbert Beerbohm Tree
She was an actress, known for What Every Woman Knows (1917), Transatlantic Tunnel (1935) and Sally in Our Alley (1916).
She was married to Sydney Blow. She died on November 10, 1959 in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, England.
[Breitbart] Cartel Smugglers continued their work on Christmas Eve moving more than 200 migrants across the Rio Grande in the Border Patrol’s busiest sector. As many celebrated the holidays on both sides of the border, the smugglers and Border Patrol agents engaged in what has become routine business on the southwest border.
Breitbart Texas traveled to several border towns in the Border Patrol’s Rio Grande Valley Sector and witnessed the interactions that did not take a break for Christmas. As residents attended mass on Friday evening, smugglers in Roma, Texas, ferried migrants across the Rio Grande in large groups consisting of family units, unaccompanied migrant children, and single adults.
Across the river in Miguel Aleman, Mexico, residents celebrated the holiday by lighting fireworks as church bells rang out. On a loudspeaker outside a Catholic church in the heart of downtown Roma, broadcast its celebratory mass into the streets and hymns could be heard for blocks. The city square, usually used as a rally point for migrants who surrender by the hundreds nightly was void of the usual activity.
On this night, smugglers chose to move the migrants to the north end of town near a residential neighborhood. Using inflatable rafts, the smugglers moved the migrants across the Rio Grande as fireworks lit the night sky on both sides of the border. The migrants, mostly Central American, walked through the brush and into a neighborhood in Roma to await transport.
Border Patrol agents sorted the apprehended groups by single adults, family units, and unaccompanied migrant children. As several Border Patrol agents retrieved basic biographical information from the migrants, others conducted pat-down searches for weapons and contraband. Other agents inventoried and bagged migrant property in what appeared to be a smooth, well-developed process.
Nearly 40 miles away, Border Patrol agents in La Joya carried out the same process. Breitbart Texas witnessed one large group march along a border road escorted by a Texas Department of Public Safety Highway Patrol trooper. The mostly Central American migrants, nearly 30 in total, walked from the river bottom to a city baseball park where Border Patrol agents waited.
With the same precision, a Border Patrol agent prepared the group for transport after determining the demographic composition of the migrants. Agents inventoried and tagged the property while waiting for migrant transport buses.
Along Texas Highway 83 that moves through multiple border cities in the Rio Grande Valley, Border Patrol agents moved into ranches and communities in search of migrants who are not voluntarily surrendering. Breitbart Texas observed the agents cordoning off neighborhoods and small ranches attempting to track migrants attempting to elude apprehension.
The migrants apprehended on this Christmas Eve will be taken to a soft-sided processing center nearby. Once processed, many of the family unit migrants with tender age children will ultimately be released. Border Patrol agents in the Rio Grande Valley Sector arrested more than 549,000 migrants in Fiscal Year 2021. More than 257,000 of those were classified as family unit members according to the Border Patrol.

[ToloNews] A top military commander of the Islamic Emirate on Saturday warned Pakistan to stop firing artillery on Afghan soil, saying that the Afghan side is ready to give the same response if attacks by the Pakistani military do not cease.
This comes as residents of the western province of Kunar said that Pakistan has been targeting several parts of the province for the past two weeks.
Abu Dojana, commander of 201 Khalid Bin Walid Corps, said that the Islamic Emirate seeks good ties with its neighbors but its forces have the military equipment to defend the country.
"This is precious soil. We have paid a large sacrifice for it. We want to be good neighbors but if they keep attacking our soil, we will certainly give them a response," he said.
At least one civilian was wounded in mortar shelling by the Pakistani military on the Chogam area of Shiltan district in Kunar. The mortar shellings also inflicted financial damage on the residents.
"I was wounded by the mortar, a fragment hit my head. I was taken to Asadabad during the night. I was in the hospital for two days," said Anwar Shah, a wounded person.
Chogam area runs alongside the so-called Durand Line.
Some residents said that they have seen Pakistani drones operating in the province.
"We are being attacked by Pakistan. Everyone is in trouble, including children and women," said Salman, a resident of Shiltan district.
Earlier a video went viral on social media showing a Taliban commander warning the Pakistani military to refrain from attacking Afghanistan’s soil.
Pakistan has been targeting different parts in eastern Afghanistan for the past several years, inflicting heavy financial damage on the residents as well as causing casualties.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Sudanese security forces fired tear gas to disperse protesters in the capital Khartoum on Saturday as the opponents of military rule marched towards the presidential palace, a Rooters witness said, while internet services in the city were also cut.
It is the 10th day of major demonstrations since an Oct. 25 coup, with protests continuing even after Abdallah Hamdok was reinstated as prime minister on Nov. 21. The demonstrators have demanded that the military have no role in government during a transition to free elections.
In neighboring Omdurman on Saturday, security forces also fired tear gas at protesters around 2 km away from a bridge connecting the city to central Khartoum, another Rooters witness said.
Internet services were disrupted in the capital, Khartoum, and soldiers blocked roads early in the day, the witnesses said.
Locals were also unable to make or receive calls domestically.
Despite the internet being cut off, people were still able to post on social media, with images showing protests taking place in several other cities including Madani and Atbara.
At the same time, soldiers and Rapid Support Forces were out in force blocking roads leading to bridges linking Khartoum with Omdurman, its sister city across the Nile river, they said.
The SUNA state news agency reported that the province of Khartoum closed bridges on Friday evening in anticipation of the protests.
"Departing from peacefulness, approaching and infringing on sovereign and strategic sites in central Khartoum is a violation of the laws," SUNA reported, citing a provincial security coordination committee.
"Chaos and abuses will be dealt with," it added.
Protesters in Khartoum chanted: "Close the street! Close the bridge! Burhan will come straight to you," referring to military leader and sovereign council head Abdel Fattah al-Burhan.
They were also heard cheering when security forces fired tear gas, according to a Rooters witness.
A bigwig at one internet provider told Rooters the service disruption followed a decision by the National Telecommunication Corporation, which oversees the sector.

[Garowe] Clashes between two rival factions of the security forces in a port city in northeast Somalia have forced hundreds of families to flee their homes, a local official said Saturday.
The fighting has for several days rocked Bosaso, the commercial capital of Puntland ...a region in northeastern Somalia, centered on Garowe in the Nugaal province. Its leaders declared the territory an autonomous state in 1998. Puntland and the equally autonomous Somaliland seem to have avoided the clan rivalries and warlordism that have typified the rest of Somalia, which puts both places high on the list for Islamic subversion... in the country's northeast.
"Thousands of the residents in the Bosaso town fled ... as sporadic fighting was going on in some parts of the town," local official Abdirizak Mohammed told Agence La Belle France-Presse.
"Most people decided to leave their houses after the warring sides used heavy machine guns and mortars", mostly from two of the town's neighborhoods, he said.
Mohammed said it was not clear exactly how many people had quit the town on the shores of the Gulf of Aden, but he estimated it was "hundreds of families."
Located on the northernmost tip of Somalia, Puntland is one of the restive Horn of Africa country's five Federal States.
[AlAhram] Mali's government has denied any deployment of Russian mercenaries from the Wagner group following charges by a group of 15 Western powers involved in the fight against jihadists in the Sahel country.
The government "gives a formal denial to these baseless allegations" of "an alleged deployment of elements from a private security company in Mali," it said in a statement released late Friday.
Mali's government "demands that proof be brought to it by independent sources" and said "Russian trainers" were in Mali as part of strengthening the operational capacity of the national defence and security forces.
Bamako was "only involved in a state-to-state partnership with the Russian Federation, its historical partner", said the statement signed by government front man Colonel Abdoulaye Maiga.
A group of 15 Western powers on Thursday expressed anger that Russian mercenaries working for the controversial Wagner group had started to deploy in Mali, accusing Moscow of providing material backing for the fighters.
The nations involved in the fight against a jihadist insurgency in Mali, including Canada, Germany, La Belle France and Britannia, said they "firmly condemn the deployment of mercenary troops on Malian territory".
"We are aware of the involvement of the Russian Federation government in providing material support to the deployment of the Wagner group in Mali and call on Russia to revert to a responsible and constructive behaviour in the region," they said.
It was one of the first official acknowledgements by Western capitals that the deployment of fighters has begun in Mali after months of warnings to the Bamako government.
GROWING CONCERN
There has been growing concern over the situation in Mali under transitional leader Colonel Assimi Goita -- who took office in June after the country's second coup in less than a year -- and in particular over fears a commitment to hold elections in February is slipping.
A French government source who asked not to be named said intense activity had been noted as the deployment went ahead.
"We are seeing repeated air rotations with military transport planes belonging to the Russian army and installations at Bamako airport to allow the arrival of a significant number of mercenaries," said the source.
Also noted had been frequent visits by Wagner executives to Bamako and the activities by Russian geologists known for their association with Wagner, said the source.
Despite the deployment of Russian mercenaries, the statement from the 15 powers indicated they planned to remain engaged in Mali, saying "we will not give up our efforts to address the needs of the Malian population".
Mali is the epicentre of a jihadist insurgency that began in the north of the country in 2012 and spread three years later to neighbouring Niger and Burkina Faso ...The country in west Africa that they put where Upper Volta used to be. Its capital is Oogadooga, or something like that. Its president is currently Blaise Compaoré, who took office in 1987 and will leave office feet first, one way or the other... La Belle France intervened in 2013 and now has roughly 5,000 troops in the region, but plans to lower that number to 2,500-3,000 by 2023.
French President Emmanuel Macron was due to raise concerns about the Wagner deployment on a visit to Mali this week to meet Goita for the first time.
However, a lie repeated often enough remains a lie... his trip was scrapped with Gay Paree blaming the Covid pandemic.
Gay Paree has previously said any deployment of Wagner militia would be incompatible with the presence of French troops.
[AlAhram] Tunisian coastguards have rescued 48 illegal migrants colonists trying to reach Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... from neighbouring Libya in a makeshift boat, the North African country's Red Islamic Thingy said on Saturday.
Red Islamic Thingy official Mongi Slim said the migrants colonists were intercepted and rescued off Zarzis when their boat broke down.
Libya, which plunged into civil war following the 2011 toppling and killing of leader Moamer Qadaffy, has become a major route for migrants colonists seeking to reach Europe to escape poverty and conflict.
The rescued migrants colonists were taken to El Ketef port before being transferred to International Organization for Migration (IOM) premises, Slim said.
A separate Tunisian defence ministry statement said the navy had rescued 28 migrants colonists aged between 14 and 33 off Zarzis on Thursday. They had also departed from Libya.
The IOM says that 23,000 people have died or gone missing in the Mediterranean since 2014 while trying to reach Europe -- including nearly 1,700 this year.
On Tuesday the IOM said at least 160 migrants colonists drowned off Libya's coast after their boats sank over the previous week.
The Italian island of Lampedusa is located just 140 kilometres (less than 90 miles) from Tunisian shores.
[DW] The attacker set off an bomb at the entrance to a bar and restaurant in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, as customers gathered on Christmas Day. Two children were reportedly among those killed.
Several people were killed in the Democratic Republic of the Congo ...formerly the Congo Free State, Belgian Congo, Zaire, and who knows what else, not to be confused with the Brazzaville Congo aka Republic of Congo, which is much smaller and much more (for Africa) stable. DRC gave the world Patrice Lumumba and Joseph Mobutu, followed by years of tedious civil war. Its principle industry seems to be the production of corpses. With a population of about 74 million it has lots of raw material... (DRC) on Saturday evening after a jacket wallah attacked a crowded restaurant and bar on Christmas Day.

Any place serving alcohol, playing music, or television is a target to these fanatics.
The cancer of the religion of peace is spreading and the west needs to quit virtue signaling and deal with the problem.
At least four kabooms were recorded in Maiduguri, capital of Borno State, on Saturday, multiple sources told SaharaReporters.
Sources said the bomb explosions happened around Cashew Plantation in Polo General area of the ancient town as residents were preparing for morning prayer.
"We were waken with explosions around 5:30am today. The explosives landed in several areas around Cashew Plantation within the metropolis," one of the sources told SaharaReporters.
It is unclear if Boko Haram ...the name means Western education is forbidden, They're what you get as the result of a traditional African or Islamic education... gunnies are behind the attacks, which happened a few hours after the group launched multiple rocket attacks on the city ahead of President Muhammadu Buhari’s visit to Borno to inaugurate projects done by the state government .
The gunnies were said to have launched the attack from the outskirt of Auno, which is about 15 kilometres away from the city.
The explosives landed in several areas including Ngomari, Bulumkutu, Ajilari and Ayafe communities within the metropolis, killing at least five children.
Boko Haram has continued to operate in different parts of the North-East, especially in Borno State despite the claim of the government that the sect has been defeated.
No fewer than five villages have been deserted as a result of the menace of bandidos, who reportedly collect levies from residents and also attack them.
The affected villages are Karazau Dantsauni, Gidan-tsamiya, Gurgurawa, Kwalaye and Gudan-kaura.
A resident of the area, Musa Sani, told PUNCH that they had contributed and paid N15million levy enforced by the bandidos but the hoodlums were demanding an additional amount.
He said, "The bandidos told us to give them N15million so that they would not attack us again. We sold some of our belongings including our farms and paid the sum but to our surprise, they are still insisting that they need more money. We informed the security agents about this sad development but nothing was done to prevent the bandidos from taxing us.
"We even staged a peaceful protest in order to draw the attention of the security agents to come to our rescue but unfortunately some of our people were arrested by the police. So, we have to leave our villages and look for safe places because these heartless bandidos can still come back to attack us.
"35 people, including women and kiddies, who refused to run away from the area were kidnapped and taken to the bandidos’ hideout.
"More than 10 people were killed by the bandidos in Karazau village alone, my younger brother, Ali, was among the slain victims."
He, however, called on security agents to come to their rescue and deploy adequate security personnel.
Zamfara Police Command's spokesperson, SP Mohammed Shehu, said there was no official complaint with regard to enforcement of levy on the communities by the bandidos.
He noted that the police command had in the past one month deployed security personnel to secure the areas.
He said, "Although we did not receive any complaints regarding the collection of levies by the bandidos, the Commissioner of Police, Ayuba Elkana, has already deployed the police in collaboration with other security agents to continue patrolling the area."

The Coalition said another Houthi projectile hit the Saudi city of Najran a city in southwestern Saudi Arabia near the border with Yemen. It is the capital of the province of the same name, a favored target of Houthi rocket forces because they can see it, so there's no math involved.... The Arab Coalition added that the hostile attacks were launched from the Yemeni city of Sadaa. The coalition said its airstrikes were in response to what it called "the attack’s origins" and said it will follow that with a wider attack on Houthi military targets.

[NYP] On social media, the pleas for help are studded with emojis of praying hands and crying faces — all from the desperate relatives of 13 migrants who disappeared in late September, as they were poised to illegally cross from Mexico into West Texas.
"I am the wife of one of them and I ask you for help," reads one recent Facebook post in English, although most of the pleas are in Spanish. "Today it is 88 days that I know nothing from any of the group."
"They were likely the victims of transnational criminal groups and got caught up in a cartel turf war over smuggling routes," said a US federal source who works on border issues and did not want to be identified.
In addition to the cocaine, methamphetamine and fentanyl that they smuggle across the border, both the Sinaloa and Juarez cartels — who dominate parts of northern Mexico — have branched out into smuggling desperate migrants, according to authorities on both sides of the border.
More than 95,000 people in Mexico are missing, many of them victims of cartel violence, according to the country’s National Search Commission.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Greek coastiess scoured for survivors in the Aegean Sea on Saturday after the latest in a series of migrant boat accidents that have killed at least 30 people in just days.
Late Friday, the coastguard found 16 bodies, including those of three women and a baby, and rescued 63 people from a boat that overturned and sank near the island of Paros.
According to those rescued, around 80 people had been on the vessel.
Three coasties patrol boats, private vessels, a coasties plane as well as divers searched for more survivors, officials said.
The latest tragedy -- the third since Wednesday -- came amid high smuggler activity not seen in Greek waters in months.
Hours earlier, 11 bodies were recovered from another boat that ran aground on an islet north of the Greek island of Antikythera on Thursday evening.
Ninety people stranded on the islet were rescued, the coastguard said.
And on Wednesday, a dinghy carrying migrants colonists capsized off the island of Folegandros, killing at least three people.
Thirteen people were rescued, while dozens remain missing, Greek authorities said.
Survivors gave conflicting accounts: Some said there had been 32 people on board, while others put the number around 50, a coasties official told AFP.
The UN refugee agency UNHCR said the Folegandros accident could end up being the worst in the Aegean this year, as unknown number of people still missing.
"This shipwreck is a painful reminder that people continue to embark on perilous voyages in search of safety," said Adriano Silvestri, the UNHCR’s assistant representative in Greece.
Earlier Friday, the coastguard had intercepted another boat with 92 men and boys on board after it ran aground on the coast of the Peloponnese peninsula.
Three suspected smugglers who fled the boat on foot were later arrested.
The UNHCR estimates that more than 2,500 people have died or gone missing at sea as they tried to reach Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... from January through November this year.
Nearly one million people, mainly Syrian refugees, arrived in the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... in 2015 after crossing the sea to the Greek islands close to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor... "These days, the criminal activity of smugglers, who are indifferent to human life, has intensified, stacking dozens of distressed people, without life jackets, on boats that do not even meet the basic safety standards," Giannis Plakiotakis, Maritime Affairs Minister said late Friday pointing the finger at Turkey, saying Ankara "lets smugglers act unchecked."

Adding to the weeks-long queue of 800 reported yesterday waiting off Italy to dump their human cargoes.
[AlAhram] A German NGO said Saturday that one of its migrant rescue ships has picked up more than 270 people from the central Mediterranean Sea in three operations since Friday.
Sea Watch said on its Twitter account that its ship, Sea-Watch 3, helped two inflatables that had run into trouble in the early hours of Christmas Day.
The two dinghies were carrying around 100 and 80 people respectively and were rescued around 38 nautical miles (70 kilometres) off the coast of Libya, a front man told AFP.
Sea Watch said its team was now looking after around 270 people in all, after picking up 93 people in a wooden boat in international waters south of the Italian island of Lampedusa on Friday morning.
Sea-Watch 3 set out on its "Christmas rescue operation" on Thursday evening.
The rescue ship has been patrolling the sea off the Libyan coast since November 2017 and helping any vessels in distress.

[SHAFAQ] Demonstrators affiliated with the Shiite factions gathered at Gate 1 in Baghdad International Airport and tried to move forward to the attack location that targeted the PMF leader Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis And the Iranian Command Qassem Suleimani
"The security forces tried peacefully to prevent the demonstrators from moving forward." A security source told Shafaq News Agency.
Meanwhile; The Counter-terrorism forces cordoned off the airport to prevent demonstrators from reaching vital facilities.
Soleimani, head of an elite overseas unit of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, was killed along with Iraqi militia leader Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis on Jan. 3, 2020, in a U.S. dronezap on his convoy at Baghdad airport.
Washington had accused Soleimani of criminal masterminding attacks by Iranian-aligned "militias" on U.S. forces in the region. His killing took U.S.-Iranian hostilities into uncharted waters and stoked concern about a major conflagration.

[IsraelTimes] IDF says button men open fire at military post near Nablus; medics say seven Paleostinians shot with live fire, 35 others with rubber bullets
Hundreds of Paleostinians clashed with Israeli troops on Saturday night, near an illegal settlement outpost in the northern West Bank, amid rising violence in the area following a deadly terror shooting.
According to the Paleostinian Red Islamic Thingy, at least seven Paleostinian demonstrators were hurt by Israel Defense Force soldiers’ live fire in the village of Burqa, adjacent to the illegal Homesh outpost.

[Rudaw] One of the leaders of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (ISIS) involved in the 2014 attack on the Kurdish town of Kobane in northeast Syria (Rojava) has been arrested by Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
Farhad Shami, the head of SDF Media Center, said in a tweet on Saturday that "our forces announce the arresting of one of the most dangerous ISIS’s emirs who had participated in the 2014 attack against Kobane & committed many massacres against our people in NE Syria."
Shami did not clarify when and where the ISIS leader was detained. However, man does not live by words alone, despite the fact that sometimes he has to eat them... he added that his "confessions" will be released soon.
The ISIS leader, named Mohammed Abd al-Awwad and known as Rashid, admitted to being the officer of terrorist operations in the bully boy group, the SDF said in a statement published along with his confession video.
He was tasked to arrange an operation to storm a prison holding ISIS members in Hasaka, as well as "securing weapons and ammunition and leading the ’jacket wallahs’ in the possible attack," the forces noted. Fourteen suicide bombers and two bombs were prepared for the attack.
ISIS seized control of swathes of territory in Iraq and Syria, declaring a so-called caliphate in 2014. In mid-September that year, the group began laying siege to Kobane, in Syria’s Aleppo province, taking village after village as they slowly tightened a noose around the city. Thousands of civilians fled across the border to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund... With the help of the coalition and Peshmerga forces, the YPG - backbone of the SDF - defeated ISIS faceless myrmidons in the city on January 26, 2015. This was the first major military defeat of ISIS, and Kobane made headlines around the world, becoming a symbol of victory over the terror group.
The weeks of battle to free Kobane left some 70 percent of the city destroyed. The local population and authorities have slowly brought life back to the city, reconstructing houses and roads and restoring basic services.
The terror group was territorially defeated in Iraq in 2017 and Syria two years later. However, man does not live by words alone, despite the fact that sometimes he has to eat them... it continues to carry out bombings, hit-and-run attacks, and abductions across both countries.
SDF, with aerial support from the anti-ISIS global coalition, have increased operations against the group in Deir ez-Zor, eastern Syria where the faceless myrmidons remain active.
Five "dangerous" members of ISIS were killed in a joint raid by the SDF and the coalition near al-Busayrah town in Deir ez-Zor.
According to the latest Pentagon report on the fight against ISIS, the bully boys’ activities "significantly" decreased from July to September 2021, but, citing the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), it said "there were signs that the group is ’poised to increase activity in the coming quarter after a period of recuperation and recovery.’"
It is an intentional and deliberate attempt to kill off every piece that can sustain life. They target food systems, water treatment, electricity, refugee camps, inhabited cities and villages.
