Elk herd in Lamar Valley: Jim Peaco, NPS (public domain)

A couple of weekends ago, some friends and I got up early to drive into the Flint Creek Range near Anaconda. We planned to hike through an area that we'd been told was home to some 800 elk, 150 big horn sheep, 30 mountain goats, black bear, and moose. We walked up the trail with great anticipation for a day of spectacular wildlife viewing.
The sky was slate-gray, and it wasn't long before we encountered our first snowflakes and felt our hands getting numb. We looked for big animal bodies somewhere off in the Douglas-fir and lodgepole pine, or on the high cliffs that bordered the valley, but we saw only red squirrels and a few birds. Finally, a meadow came into view. Surely this would be the spot to see some elk! We quietly stepped out of the trees and into the open.
Nothing. Who was it anyway that said there was a big herd of elk in this valley?
But wait. If you aren't able to see the animal itself – which is often the case – what's almost as special is finding a sign of the animal you are looking for. And this meadow was chock-full of elk sign.
Back on the trail, we had seen the large, rounded prints of an elk track. We could tell that this had been an elk at walk because of the pattern of the hind track covering and partly obliterating the front. Now, in the meadow, we saw lots of tracks punched into the soft grassy earth. Along with the myriad tracks were piles of scat, the pellets individually formed – indicating that the animals were feeding more on browse and dry grasses and were not eating as much moist vegetation as in summertime, when succulent vegetation causes pellets to lose their shape and look more like cow patties.
We saw that the young shoots of nearby willow branches were splintered and broken, indicating that the elk were browsing here for food. And some of the small saplings in the woods had scrape marks, a sign that the bulls had been rubbing velvet from their antlers, which begins to fall off in August or September.
With the snow falling, the wind blowing, and temperatures dropping into the twenties, it could have meant that the elk that had clearly been using this meadow had now moved back into the trees for shelter. Or maybe they had heard our not-so-quiet talking through the trees and had thought it best to sneak off in the opposite direction.
We were disappointed that we didn't see any big animals, but wild animals are elusive. What isn't elusive are the tracks and signs they leave behind, telling their story. Nature is like a storybook, and the more one pauses to learn how to read the clues in its chapters, the richer and more intimate the story will be.

Who would have thought someone hitting a little white ball with a stick could captivate the sporting public so much?
But golf does just that and it remains one of the most attractive sports to both the viewing and betting public.
A pastime and passion for the weekend player, the professional game features some colourful characters, prodigious youngsters and world superstars without parallel.
Names such as Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth, Dustin Johnson and Jason Day regularly contend for the trophies and million pound paychecks on offer.
Their fortunes can turn on the bounce of a ball, a gust of wind and a putt rolling agonisingly past the hole.
The golf calendar revolves around the four Majors:
The Masters at Augusta National in April where the famous Green Jacket will be placed on the shoulders of the victor
The Open, played in the UK, which is the oldest golf tournament in the world and offers the exquisite Claret Jug to the shooter of the lowest score
The US Open, famed for being played on difficult courses and widely considered the toughest test in golf
The USPGA in August, again at different courses, which boasts recent winners such as McIlroy, Day and Justin Thomas, who triumphed in this year's event.
Away from the 'big four' there are tournaments year-round on the PGA Tour in the United States and European Tour, which also travels further afield.
There is also Players Championship – which features the top 50 players on the planet battling it out over the TPC at Sawgrass course – and the World Golf Championship (WGC), which features four events: the Accenture Match Play, Cadillac Championship, Bridgestone Invitational and HSBC Champions.
The sport is booming in Asia and the women's game has started to attract media coverage and prize money to make it a huge draw.
We currently don't have any Golf Free Bets Free bet offers.
Ryder Cup thrills
While primarily an individual sport, when golfers join forces to compete as a team the excitement and drama is unbeatable – with the Ryder Cup between the US and Europe a enthralling contest staged every two years.
The Americans hold the famous gold trophy at present, but Europe will be desperate to regain the glory when the next instalment plays out at in 2018 in France.
How to bet to golf
Most tournaments are staged over four days and 72 holes, with a halfway cut made to discard those lagging behind the leaders.
Saturday, day three. is often referred to as 'Moving Day' as this is traditionally when players can force the pace to put themselves in contention for the final 18 holes on the Sunday.
The betting options available include an outright winner, but also players finishing in the top 10, those making and missing the cut, and the lowest individual round of the tournament.
Highest number of birdies, bogeys and pars, as well as fewest putts and longest driving yardage all keep the interest up throughout.
Because golf courses, unlike football pitches and basketball courts, are all very different it worth considering which players have the swing and game suitable to win.
Famously, after Tiger Wood finished a record 21 under par at the 1997 Masters to win by a record 12 shots, many top courses lengthened – or 'Tiger-proofed' – their holes to combat the American's mind-blowing power off the tee.
Many US courses are well sculptured and offer the chance to play 'target golf', where accuracy and consistency are key in often pleasant weather conditions.

New South Wales Triumph In State Of Origin 100
May 29, 2014 League Freak Rugby League State Of Origin 0
First of all let me say thank you to the 34 footballers that put on one of the best sporting contests I have ever seen.
The 100th game of State Of Origin football will long be remembered as a war of attrition. A game that was as physically taxing as any sporting contest I have ever seen.
Queensland started the game ominously when after five minutes a scrum play ended with Darius Boyd scoring in the corner. The Queensland backs completely bamboozled the Blues defense and it looked like it might be a long night for New South Wales.
The big turning point in the match happened early in the first half when Queensland halfback Cooper Cronk broke his arm. As soon as he left the field the Queensland attack looked disjointed. It didn't really recover for a good 40 minutes or so.
Daly Cherry-Evans came on as his replacement but he didn't really settle into the game until later in the match. Thurston took over Cronk's usual role and played closer to the ruck, but it just knocked his game off a little and didn't allow him to play wider where he traditionally causes more damage at State Of Origin level.
It was the 19th minute when Jarryd Hayne, who looked like the most dangerous player on the field all night, started to carve Queensland up. He found some space out wide and the Morris twins finished off a sensation try scoring play. The try scorer, Brett Morris, dislocated his shoulder scoring the try. He looked like he was gone for the game. In true Origin spirit he got up and played on. It would be the only courageous moment in this game.
In the 27th minute there was a scary moment when Josh Reynolds was put on report for a dangerous lifting tackle on Brent Tate. Reynolds is expected to miss State Of Origin two even if he takes the early guilty plea. That will be a big blow for New South Wales as he played very well in this game.
A Trent Hodkinson helped the Blues take a 6-4 lead before Jarryd Hayne once again injected himself into the game, scoring a scrambling try in the 32nd minute that really game the Blues a lot of ascendancy. It gave New South Wales a 10-4 lead going into halftime, and while the Blues dominated the first half, Queensland seemed like they would be able to come back in this one.
A penalty early in the first half game New South Wales a gift two points from in front. Their lead was now more than a converted try at 12-4. With the Queensland attack looking off, this was a big lead.
New South Wales captain Paul Gallen looked down for the count early in the second half when hit from behind without the ball by his old mate Josh Papalii. This was one of those games where it looked like a number of players would leave the field injured only for them to get up and continue playing, as Gallen did himself.
Queensland winger Darius Boyd struck for a second time in the 56 minute as Queensland attack started to find traction again. Say what you like about Boyd, he always gets the job done for Queensland and was a constant threat out wide all night. The try, that went unconverted, brought Queensland back into the game. New South Wales still lead 12-8, but it was game on once again.
Queensland had all the ball in the second half, with New South Wales working the ball off their own try line for most of the second stanza. Queensland threw everything at New South Wales, but the Blues defense was sensational.
As Queensland attack settled and Cherry-Evans started to take over, New South Wales scrambled to stop try after try. It was fitting that possibly the biggest play of the game would be a defensive one.
In the 73rd minute Darius Boyd crossed the line, but a ball and all tackle by Brett Morris, who was playing on with a shoulder he dislocated in the first half, stopped Boyd from touching down.
The last couple of minutes saw the referee's make some very bad calls against New South Wales with a phantom knock on gifting Queensland another chance at the New South Wales line. The Maroons threw everything they had at New South Wales but it was not enough. Even a last minute penalty after the siren that gave Queensland one last play was stifled as New South Wales took out one of the best game of State Of Origin I have ever seen with a 12-8 scoreline.
There were a few things that come out of this game for me.
First of all, the New South Wales pack had it all over Queensland for most of the night. To Queensland credit they never stopped trying, but they just lacked the raw go forward that New South Wales were able to call upon at times.
Greg Inglis was kept very quiet in this game. New South Wales did an amazing defensive job on him.
Billy Slater was one of many players injured in this game. If he can play on through the rest of the series I have no doubt the Queensland selectors will stick with him. As a New South Wales fan, I hope they do. Greg Inglis needs to see as much of the ball as possible. If he was at fullback for Queensland this would be a whole different series.
The one thing I really liked about this game is that the players were just allowed to get on with it. The referee's for the most part just let both teams decide the game. It's kind of sad that we don't see that often enough. Just let the sides play and stop looking for every single little penalty you possibly can find.
I thought the Blues halves pairing of Reynolds and Hodkinson played well considering it was their first game. Hodkinson in particular showed more than Mitchell Pearce ever did in a sky blue jersey.
The best player on the field however was easily Jarryd Hayne. Every time he touched the ball he looked like he was going to do something special. He was a nightmare for the Queensland defense all night!
This was just a classic State Of Origin content. A true game for the ages. Both teams will have changes for game two, mostly due to injury. You can be sure that all the focus will be on whether the Blues can wrap up their first series victory in nearly a decade on home soil!

I mean, why am I not an anarchist?
What do you want me to do instead?
Should I hate what consenting adults are doing?
What is wrong with me?
Fi-x, me, co-mman-der
Why would capitalists leave you alone?
Without governments doing their bs, war will be very (too) expensive. Like seriously, why would they hire a lot of people just to attack a random small anarchist communes?
Secondly, they can't oppress us, because they can't access our thoughts and they don't know who is & who isn't an anarchist. Do you really think that they will risk killing their capitalists mates/workers?
We already have the internet and it's just a great tool for alt-right garbage.
No, It's a great tool, for things like raddle and illegal content. Without the internet, I don't think that It would have been possible 4 me to learn about anarchism.
Why only government and public schools? what about corporation and private/charter schools? I wonder what is "bad parenting" for you.
Bad parenting -> Sending your children to school instead of homeschooling them. Teaching your children to respect authority/hierarchy...etc
Oh I forgot 2 answer your question.
I discovered it a few months ago, thanks to /f/shoplifting
You're acting like anarchists can't grow (from a material pov) and can't innovate...

I don't blame them, I tell the "truth"
Do you really think that with perfect intelligence/awareness/technique, nothing can save them ?
It's an indoctrination problem, not a strength problem.
If everyone had social/class awareness, the government would never be able to beat them.
Do u really think that the government can beat billion of people ? Gimme a break...
Easy. Thanks to internet more & more people will know the truth and more & more people become strong enough to fight back/join anarchist communes.
So yeah, internet counter their propaganda.
But capitalism isn't the only problem the government and public schools too. Bad parenting is also a problem...
Just think about it, how can it does?
Capitalist live in their communes, we live in our communes -> end of story
Cuz what happened b4 can't happen in the future bcuz :
I mean today we already have the weapons, defense, internet...etc It's unlikely that capitalists will succeed in invading ancom communes.
There are already a few ancom communes nowadays & not a lot of them have been invaded
And a lot of people will be aware that violence/invading is a dick move (meanwhile in the past, nobody really respected people/life)
Yea ofc It will always be wrong for a rapist to rape people. But unfortunately, they still exist & we have to find ways to defend ourselves...
Yea.
Egalitarianism doesn't mean that technological progress is forbidden
Technological progress is not against anarchism
Companies/corporations are governments...
Zapatista is a government (that is abusing a bit their power with a drug war, for example), but they aren't that bad.
I mean ok actually there is no good government. But how can I know in the future?
No, I am not victim blamin' at all (in fact I hate this).
But from an analysis/tactical point of view, that was the problem...
No, colonialism is a dick move.
What I wanted to say is that the fact that they didn't have enough weapons/technology when their opponents were asshole was the problem.
I don't get what you are saying. It's true that If all palestinians were anarchists, this conflict wouldn't have gone this way.
Please explain me
I mean If all palestinians were anarchists, this conflict would have ended a long time ago...
The main problem wasn't capitalists/inequality, It was that hunter gatherers, from an efficient pov aren't that efficient.
With permaculture, u can grow much more things & there is much more food for every1 than in hunter-gatherer lifestyles.
People just left the hunter gatherers lifestyle and wanted to join the agriculture/wage job lifestyle, sadly...
The hunter gatherer weren't that advanced from a technological pov because of their inefficiency & some assholes decided to invade at this moment... Grr...
Go ask 'em If It is immoral to smash stores, banks windows in a protest and they'll all say -> "No, they are thugs, It is immoral !"
Ask 'em If It is moral to loot, If u are sure to not be caught & they'll all tell u "no".
I mean u don't support the choice to not be free, for people who want it?
Yea, go ask people If It's ok to steal from big corporations & they'll all say "no".
Nobody likes this
I mean If there are anarchist communes, why would you stay in capitalist communes If you hate them?
It is not voluntary If there aren't enough anarchist communes. Once there are enough I don't see any problem...
How can they exploit humans for their labor
Yea that's why capitalism is bad. Wage jobs r bullshit. Work or starve is bullshit. But what If some people like it? What If some people like this danger? Why are there so many pro-capitalist people in the world then?
You can't exploit land? I mean don't see anything wrong with using land, right? As long as you don't pollute...

El-Zakzaky, wife ask court to quash charges against them
The leader of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, otherwise known as Shiites, Sheik Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, and his wife, Zeenat, have asked the Kaduna State High Court in Kaduna to quash the charges of murder of a soldier instituted against them by the state government.
In the application filed on their behalf by their lawyers, Mr Femi Falana (SAN) and Marshal Abubakar, the defendants urged the court to dismiss the eight counts for being an abuse of court process.
El-Zakzaky and his wife were arrested by the army and handed over to the Department of State Services after a bloody clash between soldiers in the entourage of the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, in Zaria, Kaduna State on December 12, 2015.
El-Zakzaky and his wife were detained by the DSS for over two years without charges, until April 2018 when the Kaduna State Government eventually filed eight counts against the IMN leader, his wife and two others said to be at large.
But the defendants' ill health, which warranted their botched medical trip to India last year, has since stalled their arraignment.
But their lawyers, in urging the court to dismiss all the eight counts, argued that Count 1 "in its entirety is violative of Section 36 (8) and (12) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) same being an abuse of court process and/ or devoid of proof of evidence or a disclosure of the offences and/ or failure to link the 1st and 2nd defendants respectively to the offences purportedly charged."
In the affidavit filed in support of the application, the deponent, Muhammad Zakzaky, who described himself as the sect leader's surviving son, said his three brothers were killed in the December 12, 2015, clash.
He further said, "That I know as a fact that all the members of the Shia-Islamic faith, who were arrested, arraigned and tried in connection with the happenings of December 12, 2015, have been discharged and acquitted. Attached hereto and marked exhibits 4, 5, 6 7 and 8 are various court judgments and rulings of this honourable court.

First Court Martial on Army's General-Level Appointments Controversy
First Court Martial on Army's General-Level Appointments Controversy. January. 21, 2005 22:42. by Sang-Ho	Yun ysh1005@donga.com.
At the first court martial on the suspicions surrounding the army's general-level personnel appointments, the defense made waves by showing up behind a "big name" attorney.
The court martial, which took place on January 21 at the Ministry of Defense's regular military court, saw lawyer Kah Jae-hwan (65) step up as head of the defense. Kah represented President Roh Moo-hyun's counsel team in last year's constitutional petition regarding the Special Law on Administrative Capital Relocation.
At the time, President Roh assigned eight attorneys from Bae, Kim & Lee including Kah Jae-hwan to his legal team. Kah was also in charge of legal counsel for the Presidential Committee on Administrative Capital Relocation.
A graduate of Daejeon High School and the Seoul National University Law School, Kah served as a judge for the Seoul Civil District Court and as the president of the Judicial Research & Training Center before beginning a private practice in 1999. He is currently an advisor for the legal firm of Bae, Kim & Lee (Korean name: Taepyeongyang).
Army officials explained that "the counsel for the defense was determined through discussion among the defendants," and noted, "Kah and his fellow attorneys happily accepted the appointment as a contribution to public interest, without consideration of the fees."
Many view the defendants' mobilization of such a prominent name in the legal world as part of an all-out, "everything but the kitchen sink" effort at clearing their names. The general opinion is that the army has enlisted a skilled and seasoned "big-time" attorney in order to achieve a complete victory in the fierce legal battle that will take place against the military prosecution regarding the suspicion that Army Chief of Staff Nam Jae-joon was involved in the personnel scandal.
During the day's proceedings, the military prosecution accused Chief of Staff Nam of being involved in the illicit appointments, stating, "People who have had a working relationship with Nam and who are presumed to be part of his private network were included en masse in the promotion evaluation process that took place last October."
In response, the defense moved for a withdrawal of the charges, saying that "the evaluation in question did not involve any bribes or requests," and that "the public prosecution is difficult to maintain on just the evidence provided by the prosecution." The defense also asked for a continuance of one week in order to prepare sufficiently on behalf of their defendants, since the prosecution's allusion to a "private network" was not included in the original indictment. The request was granted, and the court martial ended in just one hour without entering into an examination of the defendants.

Beirut explosions: Boris Johnson responds to 'shocking' scenes in Lebanon and confirms British nationals may be affected

Firefighters spray water at a fire following an explosion in Beirut's port area, Lebanon: REUTERS
The Prime Minister and other government officials have reacted to the huge explosion in Beirut on Tuesday and confirmed British nationals may have been affected by the blast that rocked the city.
Boris Johnson said in a statement on Twitter: "The pictures and videos from Beirut tonight are shocking. All of my thoughts and prayers are with those caught up in this terrible incident.
"The UK is ready to provide any support in any way we can, including to those British nationals affected."
The explosion at a port warehouse district in Lebanon's capital city has killed more than 25 people and injured over 2,500 others. Officials expect the death toll to rise as emergency workers dig through the rubble of buildings that collapsed nearby.
Windows were shattered and apartment balconies and ceilings collapsed across the city as the explosion sent shockwaves and made the ground shake. Footage of the incident was shared widely on social media as the city reels in the aftermath.
Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab also responded to the "devastating" incident, and added: "The UK stands in solidarity with the people of Lebanon and is ready to offer help and support including to those British nationals impacted."
Labour leader Keir Starmer said: "The images of explosions in Beirut are deeply worrying. Our thoughts are with those affected, the emergency services and the people of Lebanon."
Former chancellor Sajid Javid tweeted to say his "thoughts and prayers" were with the people of Lebanon. London mayor Sadiq Khan also said the city stood with Beirut amid "truly horrifying images".
Liberal Democrat acting leader Sir Ed Davey said in a tweet there were "truly awful scenes and in a city that has already seen so much heartbreak".
The pictures and videos from Beirut tonight are shocking. All of my thoughts and prayers are with those caught up in this terrible incident. The UK is ready to provide support in any way we can, including to those British nationals affected.
— Boris Johnson (@BorisJohnson)
The prime minister of Lebanon, Hassan Diab, said the whole country is "facing a catastrophe and Beirut is in mourning".
Beirut's governor, Marwan Abboud, broke down into tears as he toured the site of the explosion and said: "Beirut is a devastated city." A civil defence official reportedly said there were still bodies inside the port, many trapped under debris.
The head of Lebanon's Red Cross, George Kettani, told local broadcaster Mayadeen: "There are victims and casualties everywhere – in all the streets and areas near and far from the explosion."

Have you read a retelling of Peter Pan? What about this book are you most curious about?
Well, I did pick the Lady and the Tramp retelling, but this one was my second choice. It's funny, but I enjoy the Peter Pan retellings more than I ever enjoyed the original story by JM Barrie- though I like that a little, too.
I never really was a big fan of Peter Pan, so I am actually hoping that's the case here too and I'll enjoy the retelling more. Funny how that works sometimes!
I remember seeing a book about Tiger Lily once and a book about Tinker Bell sounds fun!
I voted for that one! 🙂 I can't wait to see what you think of it!
Michelle @Because Reading recently posted…My To-Be Read List ~ And the Winner is….
Hope you enjoy it!! Happy reading!
I hope so too :). Thanks!
I agree, it really does sound fun :).
I love the sound of this one, Lola:). I'm looking forward to reading how you get on with it.
Thanks :). I hope it's a good one.
This sounds so good! I hope you enjoy it. I have only read one re-telling of Peter Pan. Or maybe it was more of a spin-off. I hope you have a great week!
It really does sound good! I hope it's as good as it sounds. This will be my first Peter Pan retelling as far as I can remember.

Former White House Russia expert Fiona Hill warns the U.S. is on a path to autocracy
Fresh Air | By Terry Gross
Published October 6, 2021 at 11:52 AM EDT
Fiona Hill, the National Security Council's former senior director for Europe and Russia, arrives on Capitol Hill on Nov. 21, 2019.
Russia expert Fiona Hill warns that American democracy is under attack — from within.
In November 2019, Hill became one of the key witnesses at then-President Donald Trump's first impeachment hearing, where she condemned the false narrative that it was Ukraine, not Russia, that interfered in the 2016 election, and described the Trump administration's parallel policy channel in Ukraine to get dirt on Joe and Hunter Biden.
Hill worked in the Trump White House as the top Russia expert. She watched Russian President Vladimir Putin manipulate Trump, she says, and observed as Trump increasingly resembled the authoritarian leaders he admired, including Putin.
"Trump himself was a massive counterintelligence risk, because of his vulnerabilities and the fragility of his ego," Hill says.
After her testimony at the impeachment hearing, Hill received death threats. "I stopped answering my telephone, switched off the answering machine, got some security cameras," she says. "I was advised to seal up the mail slot on my door to make sure nobody put a pipe bomb or a packet of powder through it."
Hill grew up in the coal country of northeast England, the daughter of a miner. By the time she graduated from high school in 1984, the mines had closed down. At her father's urging, she moved to the U.S. in 1989. She became a U.S. citizen in 2002.
Ultimately, I was on my own. ... I was advised to seal up the mail slot on my door to make sure nobody put a pipe bomb or a packet of powder through it.
Hill's new memoir, There Is Nothing for You Here, takes its title from the words her father used when he encouraged her to leave England. In her time in the U.S., Hill says she has seen the country take progressively "darker turns," including the storming of the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
"The United States is teetering on the edge of violence here. We're already, I think, in a cold civil war," she says. "We've got a chance now to turn this around. But if we don't take it, we're heading down that autocratic path that we've seen in other countries."

There Is Nothing for You Here: Finding Opportunity in the 21st Century, by Fiona Hill
On her decision to work in the Trump administration
The irony is that just before I'd been offered the job, I'd taken part in the Women's March. ... I'd gone around the White House in the protest march and then found myself called in to ask if I would take the position, and I resolved to do it because it was obvious that we were acutely vulnerable. ... I was, of course, I think, in retrospect, somewhat naive about how much one could actually get done in that domestic context. I kind of thought that more people would be fully appreciative of the national security crisis that we had on hand and realize that for, sadly, a rather lot of people around Trump and for Trump himself, this was all just a big political game and one for personal benefit.
On how in her second meeting with him, President Trump called her "darlin' " and assumed she was a secretary
In the moment, I wish I would have been able to say, "Sorry, sir, Mr. President, are you speaking to me? I'm Fiona Hill, the senior director for Russia and Europe." I actually kind of have to say that I hoped that one of the guys in the room sitting much closer would have actually said, "Mr. President, this is your Russia adviser." But of course, by this point, it was all too late and nobody helped me out. Nobody said who I was. ... Leaping up and looking like deer in the headlights was probably not the best professional move I've ever made, but in the moment, I was just somewhat startled. After that, I made sure that that wasn't going to be the case again. Let's just say I was not prepared well for that moment. I also have to say that I do think that the other men in the room were quite startled by it and also didn't know how to react.
On the scrutiny she faced about her appearance in the testimony
Immediately, the team of lawyers said, "Well, we'll need to have someone to do your hair and your makeup, and we'll need to kind of figure out how you look on the day." And I felt, "Really? Do they do this for men as well?" I mean, it immediately brought back decades of memories as a professional person going all the way back actually to school and my childhood about the fixation that people have about how you dress and how you look. ... I always thought when I was younger, like "God, I'm not going to be 14 forever, and eventually this won't matter." And you get to be 54 and it still matters, particularly if you're a woman.
On how Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida, a strident Trump supporter, came to her testimony uninvited and stared at her to try to intimidate
It was clear that it was intended to be witness intimidation. It was kind of like a middle-school or even grade-school staring contest. And I'm quite a bit older than him. And let's just say I went to a pretty rough school. I can hold my own. And he was also basically making it very clear that I was nothing. He was kind of looking me up and down ... like, "Oh, this middle-aged woman here, who does she think she is?" And after doing the staring contest for a period of time, and I didn't drop my gaze, he then proceeded to pick up a couple of newspapers and peruse [them to signal] that I was nothing, that I shouldn't be paid attention to. So it was quite obvious, it was glaringly obvious what he was up to. It also made it seem like a game, which I, of course, didn't consider it to be. ...
It helped make it clear that this was going to be the tone, in part, for these hearings. That again, this was a political circus where I thought it was deadly serious and was trying to get across the fact that this was an issue of national security. We couldn't have the privatization of national security. Our democracy was under assault from the outside — but now, clearly, from the inside and, in many respects, he prepared me for what was going to happen next.
Heidi Saman and Joel Wolfram produced and edited the audio of this interview. Bridget Bentz, Molly Seavy-Nesper and Meghan Sullivan adapted it for the web.
Combine an intelligent interviewer with a roster of guests that, according to the Chicago Tribune, would be prized by any talk-show host, and you're bound to get an interesting conversation. Fresh Air interviews, though, are in a category by themselves, distinguished by the unique approach of host and executive producer Terry Gross. "A remarkable blend of empathy and warmth, genuine curiosity and sharp intelligence," says the San Francisco Chronicle.

All has been revealed! The fixtures for the 2018/19 season have been released and we now know who, when and where every Bundesliga fixture will take place - and it all starts on Friday, 24 August.
Click here to watch the fixture release as it happened!
It will be the 17th time the reigning champions kick off their title defence with a stand-alone, showpiece match, and if their recent history is anything to go by, last season's table-toppers Bayern Munich will serve up a Matchday 1 stunner when they face Hoffenheim to start 2018/19.
Opening day fixtures are always exciting events, but how have the best been played out in the past?
It was a night for the new boys as Bayern began their title defence in sizzling fashion. The Red ballet were two up inside 20 minutes through goals from summer recruits Niklas Süle and Corentin Tolisso. History was made as VAR was later used for the first time in the Bundesliga, match referee Tobias Stieler consulting with the team of officials in Cologne to reverse a penalty decision, with Robert Lewandowski sweeping in the resultant spot-kick. Admir Mehmedi pulled one back for Leverkusen, but the damage had long been done and the marker laid for a sixth successive title triumph.
Werder Bremen fans look away now! A night of utter despair for the Green-Whites, one of sheer delight for Bayern who gave new coach Carlo Ancelotti a winning start with the biggest-ever opening game triumph. Xabi Alonso's breathtaking opener set the bar high for 2016/17, Robert Lewandowski did likewise in the Torjägerkanone race with a hat-trick while Philipp Lahm's last Bundesliga goal was more than a mere footnote.
Despite their regional rivalry, Hamburg fans must have had some sympathy for their Bremen counterparts having been on the receiving end of a commanding Bayern performance 12 months earlier. Once Medhi Benatia had gotten Bayern moving in the first half, Thomas Müller and a Lewandowski brace swiftly took the game away from the visitors as Pep Guardiola's men produced an imperious display. On his Bundesliga debut, Douglas Costa killed off the Bundesliga's only ever-present club with a fifth as Bayern laid down an early marker for their title rivals.

On Wednesday, the Southern League club - relegated from the Football League in 2012 - were banned by the FA after failing to comply with orders from the Independent Regulatory Commission to answer questions relating to the Owners' and Directors' Test Regulations.
Hereford had been given until Monday to submit further requested documentation, but failed to do so.
As well as the club, official Alan McCarthy was also banned from all football activity.
However it was announced on Thursday that the suspension - for both Hereford and McCarthy - had been lifted.
"The suspension of Hereford United and Alan McCarthy from all football and football activity has been lifted with immediate effect," an FA statement read.
"This follows their compliance with the orders of the Independent Regulatory Commission."

I made my first batch of fizzies bombs this month to compliment my new cleaning routine of our toilets (alongside the thieves all purpose cleaner). Yes these are fizzie bombs for the toilets not for in my bath!
They are super easy to make, cheaper than the ones you can buy in the store and who doesn't want a natural alternative to clean their home!
I mean seriously products with skulls, flames or that state you need to call your doctor if you drink, inhale or get this in your eyes is just not ok….
Leave to dry for 6 hours.
I recommend firmly pressing again the mixture again after 30 min.
They are fun to make in different shapes, I made 2 batches so I would have enough to fill the mold.


Penge is an area 7 miles south-east of Charing Cross which is steeped in history for better or worse. Penge was on the ascendancy until the late nineteenth century, a fulcrum of large estates paving the way for Penge to become a London powerhouse for years to come. This changed with the infamous Penge murders in 1877. Years later, the area has again begun to flourish as a point of tourism, with many old buildings still intact. The area is renowned for its many pubs and the Crooked Billet is perhaps the most famous of the lot. Established in 1601 at the earliest, speculation has led many to believe that the building exceeds half a millennium in age.
With such a rich history and broad array of tourism appeal Penge is a popular place for families and couples looking to move. Our man and a van in Penge service is the ideal candidate to get your move underway, straight away. From Crystal Palace to Croydon and beyond, we can ensure your move to Penge goes smoothly and quickly, and all at a very competitive price.

With the America's Cup moving into a new era of foiling catamarans, the debate between multihull and monohull has reached a new level. Traditional sailboat racing continues to be dominated by monohull designs, but multihull proponents are rapidly making inroads and demanding respect.
Skipper Greg Alden and his crew aboard Irie struck a blow for the monohull world with an eye-popping performance in the 2013 Down the Bay Race. Powered by 20-30 knot northwesterly winds, the state-of-the-art TP52 completed the 120-nautical mile course in 7 hours, 2 minutes and 32 seconds. That blew away the previous mark of 11 hours, 9 minutes that had been established in 1974 by Running Tide, the Sparkman & Stephens 60-footer owned by Al Van Metre.
Skipper Paul Parks believes his high-performance SeaCart 30 could cover the passage from Annapolis to Norfolk even faster if fortunate enough to race in similar conditions. Sundog, a 30-foot, carbon trimaran, has captured line honors in numerous major distance races and is certainly capable of challenging the new record when it competes in the 65th edition of the Down the Bay Race for the Virginia Cruising Cup, which begins May 23 near Thomas Point Light off Annapolis.
Sundog has a proven track record – pulling off an impressive trifecta in major races on the Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean and Great Lakes after Parks initially took delivery in 2011. The SeaCart 30 made its debut by capturing line honors then placing first in class and second in fleet for the Fort Lauderdale-to-Key West Race. Next up was The Border Run from Newport Beach to San Diego via Mexican waters and Sundog again took class honors on corrected time. Parks was particularly proud of placing first on both elapsed and corrected time for the prestigious Chicago-to-Mackinac Race.
Parks estimated he has competed in the Down the Bay Race at least 15 times aboard his previous boats named Sundog such as a Tartan 10, J/35 and Farr 40 and has captured class honors in the past.
Multihulls will receive a separate start in the Down the Bay Race for the first time this year and Sundog is among five such boats entered. Another notable entry is Wild Card, a Reynolds 33 owned by Tim Layne of Glen Burnie (MD) that holds the elapsed time record for the St. Mary's College of Maryland Governor's Cup.
With just under a week remaining until the registration deadline, 30 boats ranging in size from 27 to 47 feet have entered the 65th Down the Bay Race for the Virginia Cruising Cup. Reindeer, a Morris 47 co-owned by Tony Parker and Peter Driscoll, is the largest entry and also one of the most historic. Parker and Driscoll were regular crew members aboard Reindeer when previous owner Newbold Smith sailed the classic offshore racer to significant success in events as Annapolis-to-Newport and Newport-to-Bermuda.
Parker and Driscoll used the Down the Bay Race as a tune-up for Annapolis-Newport last year and that strategy worked out well. The Morris 47 posted the best corrected time for the Chesapeake Bay portion of the 2013 edition.
Two class winners from the 2013 Down the Bay Race are entered again this year with Pterodactyl (Evelyn 42, Gene Thayer, Norfolk) back to defend its title in PHRF A1 and Anjalei (Catalina 387, Jim Forrester, Norfolk) looking to repeat in PHRF Non-Spinnaker.
Once again, Storm Trysail Club-Chesapeake Station will host a welcome party for skippers and crews on Thursday, May 22 at Severn Sailing Association. As always, Hampton Yacht Club will conduct a spectacular post-race party and awards ceremony on Saturday, May 24.

The Glorious Sons' main songwriter Brett Emmons may have just turned 25, but man, the guy can write a song. Young Beauties & Fools, the band's second full-length album, was written in under two weeks. That sounds like a short period of time, but believe us, there's nothing rushed-sounding about this album.
But when every song you write is just as good as the last, how do you decide which songs make it to the album? Brett and his brother/the band's guitarist Jay Emmons told us a little bit more about the selection process in our exclusive interview below!
We're on a Glorious Sons kick, so check back soon for part 3 of our interview—we're talkin' Canada and touring!

by Sebastiao Salgado
Book Size: 26.6 x 37 x 3.8 mm (Height x Width x Depth)
Sebastião Salgado is one the most respected photojournalists working today, his reputation forged by decades of dedication and powerful black-and-white images of dispossessed and distressed people taken in places where most wouldn't dare to go. Although he has photographed throughout South America and around the globe, his work most heavily concentrates on Africa, where he has shot more than 40 reportage works over a period of 30 years. From the Dinka tribes in Sudan and the Himba in Namibia to gorillas and volcanoes in the lakes region to displaced peoples throughout the continent, Salgado shows us all facets of African life today. Whether he's documenting refugees or vast landscapes, Salgado knows exactly how to grab the essence of a moment so that when one sees his images one is involuntarily drawn into them. His images artfully teach us the disastrous effects of war, poverty, disease, and hostile climatic conditions.
This book brings together Salgado's photos of Africa in three parts. The first concentrates on the southern part of the continent (Mozambique, Malawi, Angola, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Namibia), the second on the Great Lakes region (Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya), and the third on the Sub-Saharan region (Burkina Faso, Mali, Sudan, Somalia, Chad, Mauritania, Senegal, Ethiopia). Texts are provided by renowned Mozambique novelist Mia Couto, who describes how today's Africa reflects the effects of colonization as well as the consequences of economic, social, and environmental crises.
This stunning book is not only a sweeping document of Africa but an homage to the continent's history, people, and natural phenomena.
Sebastião Salgado began his career as a professional photographer in Paris in 1973 and subsequently worked with the photo agencies Sygma, Gamma, and Magnum Photos. In 1994 he and his wife Lélia created Amazonas images, which exclusively handles his work. Salgado's photographic projects have been featured in many exhibitions as well as books, including Other Americas (1986), Sahel, L'Homme en détresse (1986),Workers (1993), Terra (1997), Migrations (2000), The Children (2000), Africa (2007), and Genesis (2013).
Translated in more than 20 languages, Mia Couto is Mozambique's most celebrated author. His first novel,Sleepwalking Land, was chosen by an international jury as one of twelve best African books published in the 20th century. He lives in Maputo, Mozambique and works as an ecologist.
Lélia Wanick Salgado studied architecture and urban planning in Paris. Her interest in photography started in 1970. In the 1980s she began conceiving and designing photography books and exhibitions, many about Sebastião Salgado, including Genesis. Lélia Wanick Salgado has been the director of Amazonas images since 1994.


My name is Julie Williams. Julie is a pretty common name. So is Williams. It is even a fairly common combination. I have literally introduced myself to someone at a conference, a perfect stranger, only to discover that we have the same name, first and last.
Did you know there is a website called howmanyofme.com? According to this website there are 327,606,344 people in the U.S. You can type in your first and last name and find out how many people have the same name as you.
Apparently, there are 570,035 people in the U.S. with the first name Julie. There are 1,862,982 people in the U.S. with the last name Williams. I guess Williams is the 3rd most popular last name in this country. Then it tells me there are 3,242 people in the U.S. named Julie Williams. I guess this explains why I have met others with the same name and why I have been mistaken for other Julies.
There are some pretty incredible Julie Williams out there. Try google searching them. It's an eclectic blend of awesome people you can discover. There are artists, singers, writers, realtors, doctors, and a Julie Williams who publishes patterns for knit animals. There is even a Julie Williams who was the Chief Counsel to the Office of the Comptroller of Currency.
When I hear the name Julie being called out in public, I pretty much assume the call is not for me. I write letters returning cards that were sent to me, but not meant for me. I respond to emails with things I know nothing about it hopes that the intended recipient and writer can connect. I answer the phone for disappointed callers because of a wrong number.
It was only this morning that I made a phone call to check on something and the person on the other end thought they were talking to a different Julie. I was so confused that I had to throw the breaks on the conversation and try to get everyone back to the beginning to explain that I was not the Julie they assumed I was.
There really is not anything standout-ishly special about my name or about me.
It is funny how experience can shape our perceptions, even our perceptions of a word. Called.
This is a verse to Israel about what the Lord says to them in the book of Isaiah. It is also a commonly used verse on cards, coffee cups, ties, folders, posters, t-shirts, and stickers.
I have never really had a personal zest or connection to this verse. I tend to glaze over it in much the same way that I tune out when people yell, "Julie!" It's usually not me they are talking about. In the whole group of Julie Williams in the world, I must not be the one being called, I'm sure your looking for someone else.
In my younger years of religiously attending church services and activities that is how I felt. The call is not for me. I'm too ordinary, too plain, too average. Then it was because I was too broken, too sinful, too damaged. The call just was not going to be for me.
Redemption. This is my word of the year. Yep, I'm one of those word people who pick a word or theme for the year and then dig in trying to really explore the word, meaning, and application in my life.
I know Jesus saved me from my sins. His sacrificed redeemed me. It freed me. I have known this since I really gave my life to Christ in 2003. But, I have just gone through this season the past few years of deep brokenness and barren emptiness.
There have been so many good blessings in this time to be thankful for, but my soul has been arid, dry, cracked, and chapped. It has felt like so much has left my life, but not been refreshed, replenished, or restored. I have struggled to release in my mind and my heart what is gone, what I did wrong, what I messed up, and what was broken.
Have you ever experienced a time of a dry spirit and chapped soul?
I chose the word redemption in hopes of finding greater understanding and wisdom and freedom in what I have already been given. It's on this journey of learning more about redemption, that I have realized I haven't just been called, I've been summoned.
To receive a summons is to be named by a figure of authority to appear at a specific place. For instance a judge may summon a witness to their courtroom.
When the Lord calls, He's not just shouting out a name to a mass of people so that one of them will turn around. It's not just any of the 3,242 Julie Williams turn to Him. He's on a mission for a missing person, searching with the unbridled passion of a father looking for a lost child.
The Lord knows my name, but He also knows everything about me. My date of birth, the breaths I have taken, the beats of my heart, the sound of my voice, the tears I have shed, the prayers I have said, and the number of hairs upon my head.
Out of His great love, it is the Lord's desire to answer me, complete me, fill me, satisfy me, pardon me, forgive me, sanctify me, purify me, and bless me. Not because of what I do, or have done, or will do. Not because of what my name is or is not, but out of the greatness of His name and what He has given for me.
As much as all of this is mine, all of this is for you too. God's love, God's power, God's provision, God's passion, God's compassion, it's all limitless. What the Lord has can overflow us all.
I can't even wrap my mind around the 3,242 other Julie Williams in the US, let alone be able to comprehend how Jesus can know in such detail all who are living, have ever lived and all those yet to be born. His book of life has to be pretty spectacular. This nerdy Julie, who is a huge book worm, can wait to see it.
Do you hear the Lord calling your name?
Do you feel like it is a generic cry to any one who will respond?
Are you feeling dry, parched, and chapped?
Are you feeling overlooked and unheard?
Take some time to consider what it means to be summoned.
Look up and write out this Bible verse Isaiah 43:1 from a few different translations. What words stand out to you?
Listen for the Lord specifically calling out to You. Respond to His call and allow him to show you many great and wonderful things.
Thank You so much for not just making a generic request out to mass of humanity, but for specifically knowing us and summoning us by the details of our lives out of Your love for us. Thank You for being a God brilliant enough to know us all, but intimate enough to distinguish us individually.
Lord, I lift up to you my readers. I ask that You would refresh them, renew them, and restore them. Lord, let Your living waters run to the parched areas of their souls to bring a surprising regrowth. Lord, nourish those seeds that were long ago planted, the ones that were thought to have gone dead or been defective, show us how they were merely dormant, waiting for the perfect time to blossom.
Lord, help us to train our ears to hear Your voice, so that when You call and when You summon us we eagerly respond with praise and thanksgiving.
Amen and thank you Julie Williams!
Thank you so much Diane. God is good!

William (52) Augustus Emmet
10 Waverly Place, New York, NY
Catharine Elizabeth James
Robert (13) Emmet
William (52) Augustus Emmet was the eldest son of Catherine Elizabeth James and Robert (13) Emmet. His mother, who died at the age of 29, was the daughter of Augustus James, an older brother of Henry James Sr., making Kitty, as she was called, a first cousin of the writers, William and Henry James. Born in New York at 10 Waverly Place on Nov 24, 1879, William and his two younger brothers were raised in the City in the midst of the large and boisterous Emmet and James clans. Three James women married three Emmet men, two of them brothers; the progenitors of the two families - William James and TAE - were friends, so these alliances were greeted with delight on all sides.
William does not appear to have gone to university and no record of his employment can be found other than what is included in the following news clip. The Brooklyn Eagle published a short paragraph on Feb. 7, 1896, under the headline "Descendant of Robert Emmet." "William A Emmet, 48 years old, who is said to be a great grand nephew of Robert Emmet, the Irish patriot, was committed in the Harlem Court, New York, this morning to Bellevue Hospital for examination as to his sanity. Emmet was arrested last night while standing in the middle of the street and attempting to make a speech. He was under the influence of liquor. Emmet was employed for nine years as a civil engineer by Crinnars Bros. and later as an inspector of repaving by the Broadway cable road."
He died less than a year later on the 13th of January, 1897 at "Bloomingdale," according to his death certificate, which is outside the city in an area now part of White Plains, NY.
