A sneak peek inside one of the world's largest distilleries - CBC

Welcome to the Winter Sneak Peek, Canada! We’ve looked at the data, and Canada is staring down one of its mildest winters in years, and potentially one of the warmest starts on record. We have little doubt the season ahead will lean mild. That signal is strong, thanks to a record-breaking El Niño that is expected to peak around the start of winter. The bigger question is how often winter manages to break through—so how wild winter will be remains up in the air. Official Canadian winter personality: ElusiveWinter may keep ghosting Canada when we expect it to show upLast winter opened with an abundance of Arctic air oozing across the country. This winter will likely begin in almost the opposite direction. It’s possible that December could feel more like an extended fall. What do we already knowStrong El Niño heavily favours warmth.

Paleontologists reconstructed mosasaur anatomy based on their fossil records and present-day predators like the Komodo dragon. Mosasaurs are terrifying enough based on their fossils alone. The Cretaceous marine reptile family encompassed some of the undisputed apex predators of Earth’s ancient oceans (and possibly even some rivers). Species like Mosasaurus hoffmanii easily reached nearly 50-feet long, while weighing as much as 20,000 pounds—and there are many more mosasaurs just like them.

Israeli settlers have attacked European diplomats, including a French mayor, near the Palestinian village of Taybeh in the occupied West Bank. The delegation was visiting Palestinian olive harvesters on Saturday when the Israeli attackers confronted the group. The attack comes a day after settlers assaulted a US journalist north of Ramallah. In Saturday’s incident, the settlers targeted Belgium’s consul general, French and Polish diplomats and Catholic representatives, Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot said. “A French mayor was assaulted and a Belgian vehicle damaged,” Prevot said, linking the attack to what he called Israel’s “illegal settlement policy” and pledging to push for further European Union sanctions. French mayor Bernard Baudoux, who was assaulted, told the AFP news agency that the violence suggests that “there is a tolerance on the part of the Israeli government” towards settler violence. Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh, reporting from Ramallah, said the settlers surrounded the diplomats’ vehicles, pelted them with stones and smashed their windows.
