My apologies for the skeleton newsletter I've sent this month, my available time was severely reduced over the last month. This newsletter includes only the URLs of relevant articles published over the last month. Tips will be extracted next month.

Kirk's roundup will also resume next month. Kirk was in the air at the time of the atrocities, flying transatlantic to the USA. His subsequent diversion seems to have resulted in a tour of Europe.
