My Old Weird America
An exploration of Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music
51 "Dry Bones" by Bascom Lamar Lunsford

Bascom Lamar Lunsford's World
Known in his lifetime as "The Minstrels of the Appalachians" and "The Squire of South Turkey Creek", Bascom Lamar Lunsford was a man of multiple endeavors, with a calling to preserve and entertain with the folk heritage of the Appalachian mountains where he spent all his busy life. Born in 1882 in Madison County, North Carolina, he was raised in a middle-class family which put education and arts above all things but stayed close to the soil and the traditional values of the Southern mountains. Bascom would be at ease all his life both with urban and country people, making a bridge between both worlds, the old and the new, the entertainment and the scholarship, the stage and the living-room, the church and the dance floor. He claimed that he visited more homes in the mountains than anyone, and thanks to his early occupations of fruit tree seller and beekeeper, he knew well the backwoods people, who were the good musicians and singers and managed to collect hundreds of songs, tunes and tales from them. Working officially as a lawyer, he nevertheless devoted most of his energy to promote musicians, organize festivals, record and collect folk music with a zeal and passion that was legendary. He "would cross Hell on a rotten tail to get a folk song". His major achievements were the Mountain Folk and Dance Festival he created in Asheville in 1928 (and sill running today!) and the impressive number of folk songs and tunes he recorded for the Library of Congress (more than 300 items). Through his work with the festival and his recordings, he had the ambition to restore the pride and dignity of Southern folks and their music and keep this traditions alive against all the threats of modernity . With his five-string banjo and his impeccable suits, his impressive memory and love of his fellow-man, he indeed managed to be an incredible promoter and entertainer of folk music, years before "Folk Revivals" of all kind. When young urban people from the northern cities became interested in Southern music in the 1950's and 1960's, his attitude was often conservative and suspicious of the "outsiders". He had a strong and personal vision of what was "authentic" and what not, even if he had to accept some new trends and changes along the years.
His own performance style never changed much during the 30 years he recorded for collectors or records companies. With his simple but effective two-finger style picking on the banjo and his powerful and mannered voice, he was right in the middle between rougher mountain pickers and the more sophisticated folk singers like John Jacob Niles. He was first recorded in 1922 and 1925 by scholars Frank C. Brown and Robert Winslow Gordon on cylinder discs.
-Listen to Bascom Lamar Lunsford singing (without the banjo)"Old Gray Mare", "Hesitation Blues" and "Not-a-gonna lay my religion down" ( Recorded on cylinder discs by Robert Winslow Gordon in 1925 for the Library of Congress)

hesitationblues.mp3
nota-gonna.mp3
(This recordings were issued on a lp called "Folk Songs of America" you can listen here)
The previous year, in 1924, he made his first commercial recordings for the Okeh company, recording "Jesse James" and "I wish I was a mole in the ground" (a song he would record again in 1928, and will be the subject of a future post…). I never heard this 1924 recordings as it seems they never were re-issued so if someone has a copy and can digitalize them, it would be greatly appreciated….
He recorded again two other sides for Okeh the following year, this time with Blackwell Lunsford (a brother maybe?) on fiddle.
-Listen to "Fate of San Barbara" and "Sherman Valley" (1925 Okeh recordings)
06-fate-of-santa-barbara.mp3
07-sherman-valley.mp3
His biggest commercial recording session held in Ashland, Kentucky in 1928 for the Brunswick label where 12 sides were recorded. Most of them were his versions of old-time mountain songs but it also included two pieces he wrote himself, both songs dealing with the subject of moonshining: The first one,"Old mountain Dew" was maybe his most well-remembered song, one that became a standard and entered the folk tradition. The other song, "Nol Pros" Nellie, was a parody of the famous folk song "Darling Nelly Gray". "Nol Pros" is a legal term meaning that the charges in the court are not going to be pressed. The "Nellie" of the song is a moonshiner who has fled the law. Unable to locate her, the authorities had to fill a "Nol Pros".
-Listen to "Old Mountain Dew" and "Nol Pros" Nellie
02-mountain-dew.mp3
03-_nol-pros_-nellie.mp3
From the same session, some of my favorite Lunsford sides:
–Listen to "Stepstones" and "Lost John Dean"
10-stepstone.mp3
01-lost-john-dean.mp3
Bascom's last commercial recordings on 78rpm records feature his story-telling and humor on two narratives, one, "Speaking the Truth" is a parody of a church sermon and the other, "A Stump Speech in the tenth district" is a parody of a politic speech, with a musical introduction by The Skillet Lickers.
-Listen to "Speaking the truth" and "A Stump Speech in the tenth district" (1930 Columbia recordings)
11-speaking-the-truth.mp3
12-a-stump-speech-in-the-10th-district.mp3
Bascom would record hundreds of items for the Library of Congress including ballads,songs, fiddle tunes,tales, jokes,singing games,hyms and religious songs,etc…;the whole gamut of the Appalachian folklore he collected during all these years visiting folks in the mountains and organizing the Asheville festival. He called this his "Memory Collection" and it's maybe the biggest collection in this field. He recorded first in 1935 on aluminium discs and then in 1949. Only a few of this performances were released on commercial discs, and you can hear about 14 of them (it includes also 5 sides from the 1928 Brunswick recording session) on a Smithsonian/Folkways cd called "Ballads, Banjo tunes, and Sacred Songs of Western North Carolina".
-Listen to "Swannanoa Tunnel" (A mountain folk lyric that evolved from an African-american work song that gave also the song "The nine-pound hammer"), "Ten Steps" (a fiddle tune), "Swing Low" (a religious song) and "The Mermaid Song" (A song that evolved from a Child Ballad)
01-swannanoa-tunnel.mp3
03-ten-steps.mp3
06-swing-low.mp3
02-the-mermaid-song.mp3
Some of Bascom's Library of Congress recordings were also issued on a lp called "Songs and Ballads of American History and of the Assassination of Presidents". It featured one side with Lunsford's songs and tunes related to the topic the assassinations of president. The lp was reissued by Rounder in CD format (Buy it here)
-Listen to "Zolgotz" (Leon Czolgotz killed President Mc Kinley in 1901, the song is a variant of "White House Blues", see my post on the song here), "Charles Guiteau" (Guiteau shot President Garfield in"1881″, see my post on the song here),"Booth Shot Lincoln" (John wilkes Booth shot president Abraham Lincoln in 1865)"
07-zolgotz.mp3
Other commercial recordings includes a 10-inch lp called "Smoky Mountain Ballads" recorded in 1947 but issued in 1953 by Folkways Records (Buy it here from Smithsonian/Folkways), "Minstrel of the Appalachian", a Riverside lp recorded in 1956 by folk singer and collector Paul Clayton (Out-of-print but available for download on this great blog here).
-For anyone interested in Bascom Lamar Lunsford, i strongly recommend the book "Minstrel of the Appalachians-The Story of Bascom Lamar Lunsford", his biography by Loyal Jones. In addition to the whole story of Lunsford's life, there's a very complete discography, including a listing of all the items recorded for the Library of Congress and some lyrics and sheet music for Bascom's songs and fiddle tunes.
The Dry Bones Variations
"The title of this spiritual is "Dry Bones." It was known in our section after the visiting of a great Negro preacher who came to that section, was a powerful pulpit orator and a devoted man, and his name was Romney. And he preached a sermon on the "dry bones of the valley." I first heard this sung by Fletcher Rhymer in the community near Alexander in Buncombe County, North Carolina." (Bascom Lamar Lunsford's introduction to "Dry Bones")
"Dry Bones" by Bascom Lamar Lunsford
https://oldweirdamerica.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/11-dry-bones.mp3
Old Enoch he lived to be three-hundred and sixty-five,
When the Lord came and took him back to heaven alive.
I saw, I saw the light from heaven
A-shinin' all around.
I saw the light come shining,
I saw that light come down.
When Paul prayed in prison, them prison walls fell down.
The prison keeper shouted, "Redeeming Love I've found."
Shinin' all around.
I saw the light come down.
When Moses saw that a-burning bush, he walked it 'round and 'round.
And the Lord said to Moses, "You's treadin' holy ground."
Dry bones in that valley got up and took a little walk.
The deaf could hear and the dumb could talk.
Adam and Eve in the garden under that sycamore tree.
Eve said to Adam, "Satan never tempted me."
I have to say that Bascom Lamar Lunsford's Dry Bones is one of my favorite performance on the Anthology, the combination of Lunsford's banjo picking and his unique mannered voice blend so perfectly on a biblical song that sounds like it comes from the african-american minstrel tradition of parodies of religious songs, telling biblical stories with an humorous twist.
-I didn't found other versions of the "Dry Bones" Lunsford sang on recordings of the same period but some contemporary artists made their own version of Lunsford's song (and in the case of John Fahey, a complete reworking of the tune).
-So here are Norman & Nancy Blake, The Handsome Family and John Fahey doing "Dry Bones":
16-dry-bones.mp3
08-dry-bones-in-the-valley-i-saw-the-light-come-shining-round-and-round.mp3
There's also a popular spiritual called "Dry Bones" or "Dem Dry Bones" that has nothing to do with Lunsford's version but it's a great song and one that have been recorded so many times by black religious groups and popular singers that it's worth hearing a few versions of it as well…
Dem Bones, Dry Bones or Dem Dry Bones is a well-known traditional spiritual song, used allegedly to teach basic anatomy to children (although its description is not anatomically correct). The melody was written by African-American author and songwriter James Weldon Johnson (1871–1938). Two versions of this traditional song are used widely, the second an abridgement of the first. The lyrics are based on Ezekiel 37:1-14, where the prophet visits the Valley of Dry Bones[1] and causes them to become alive by God's command. (Wikipedia)
–Listen to The Four Gospel Singers (Black religious Quartet), Cora Fluker (Country Blues singer), Fats Waller (Jazz popular piano player and singer), Rev. Leora Ross (Singing sermon on the theme of the Dry Bones), Mitchell's Christian Singers (Gospel group), Rev. J.M Gates, Elder Charles Beck, The McCoy Brothers (Preachers with singing congregations)

Thank you so much, you overwhelm us. It's hard to find time to listen to all of this great music.
YES! Thank you. I've been waiting for the first Bascom Lamar Lunsford post!
Anthony Q. Wheeler says:
My family are natives of Madison County.. I am a graduate of MHC and have attended the festival there. I am looking for information on a Catholic sister that did work in"Times past in Madison county with the last name Lunsford…Can anyone help me ????
eppie ozen says:
Sister Ethel Lunsford
enjoyed your work, well done
yes, Blackwell was Bascom's older brother
Auntie Knickers says:
This is a fine post as usual. However, the final collection of the music won't open in WinZip. I think it's because of the colon between "Lunsford" and "Dry Bones". Can you fix that perhaps? Thanks.
Chris Barry says:
Thank you very much. Another great post of authentic Americana!

[…] oldweirdamerica.wordpress.com A young and angsty Bascom […]
hi i was wondering if you knew anything more regarding to picking and tuning he uses in dry bones. im pretty new to the banjo and this was one of the songs that inspired me to learn! anyone know what tuning this is in, also is he doing up picking clawhammer or some other picking style? i can roughly figure out the verses but the picking in between pretty much baffles me. thanks cory
gadaya says:
As far as I know, Bascom was using an up-picking technique on the banjo, with just index, thumb and a brush in between. "Dry bones" is played in the G tuning gDGBD.
Ofosu Samuel says:
Who wrote the Missionary Quintet version of "Dry Bones" and do you know of any groups that have recorded versions of this song? I heared a reprise of this song back in 1992. On that Album, there is also a version of "Joshua fit the battle of Jericho" as well as the song "My brothers and Sisters(Promised Land)".Do you know anything about the group and the album I am talking about? Been searching for a long time now.

Greenlight Operation Holding 5K Fundraiser for Restoration Home Project
To benefit human trafficking survivors in Central Pennsylvania, Greenlight Operation will be hosting a 5K Race to Restoration Event to assist in fundraising for their Restoration Home Project for women in Cumberland County.

Dylan Bowman, Guest Contributer
Legs are on fire; lungs are ready to burst; many don't know if they can go on. The temporary pain will help the lives of innumerable others. Determination is in the air; determination to help make a difference.
Slowing down is an option, but many choose to run on, pain shooting through their muscles; every sinew burning with the strain and sweaty breaths rolling from each mouth, protesting that the journey has just begun.
Hearts continue pounding with the intensity of the run, and that's just how the Race to Restoration started: with hearts seeking change beating wildly.
One of the reasons Central Pennsylvania is known to be a major center for human trafficking is because of its major highways and infrastructure that allow for traffickers to get onto the road and disappear. That is why awareness is considered necessary in the surrounding communities of Central Pennsylvania and Greenlight Operation was established.
As their first annual 5K Race to Restoration Fundraising Event, Greenlight Operation is expecting a decently sized crowd, but are looking forward to the coming years with the potential of an annual spring race event being set.
"It's a first-year event so it's always up in the air," said Operation Coordinator Anna Knaub. "With weather and COVID, you kind of never know who's going to show up."
Greenlight Operation, as well as their sponsors and other vendors, will also be attending the event.
Past events of Greenlight Operation have seen increases in volunteers and attendees. During Greenlight Operation's Art Festival of 2020, attendance reached approximately 500, an increase from a previous year of only 250 attendees at the same festival.
The event is scheduled to take place at Adventure Park, 1775 Lambs Gap Rd., Mechanicsburg, and is scheduled for May 22 at 9:30 a.m. A virtual race is scheduled for May 15-23 for those who are unable to attend the in-person event.
The race features a one-mile loop that will be taken 3.1 times. According to Knaub, the trail is a part of Adventure Park property and "is very beautiful and accessible."
Knaub went on to explain the goal behind the 5K Race to Restoration Event.
"We are a little more than 80% of the way to meeting our fundraising goal for our first major milestone of $500,000," said Knaub.
Past events of Greenlight Operation, including last year's Art Festival, which raised approximately $10,000, have greatly assisted the organization in moving forward towards the Restoration Home.
The three-year fundraising goal that had been set would be "more than sufficient", according to Knaub, to meet their needs and what they were looking for. Due to real-estate developments in the past few years, it is looking like that number may have to be raised.
"Real estate market in three years has been absolutely insane," said Knaub, "So that is still more than enough. We are just hoping and praying that the right property comes along."
Greenlight Operation was formed in May of 2018 with the goal to "eradicate and lessen trafficking as a whole" and educate communities about the existence and signs of trafficking. This is done in great part by the leadership team at Greenlight Operation.
The leadership team works closely with others in Central Pennsylvania as well.
Greenlight Operation works closely with Christian Life Assembly, Pathway Community Church, Hope-Inspire-Love, and other members of the community, including citizens and legislators. They spread awareness and educate people about trafficking in Central Pennsylvania, what to look for, and what to do if something is witnessed.
Volunteers appear to present support to the Greenlight Operation team.
"Volunteers are truly the backbone to Greenlight Operation and its mission," Knaub said.
Volunteers such as Courtney Etzweiler have their own stories about the organization.
"We heard about Greenlight Operation at our church, Christian Life Assembly, in May of 2018," said Etzweiler. "They were just building their team. My daughters were invited to a meeting and I was intrigued by what they were sharing."
Etzweiler continued.
"My two daughters and I volunteered at the first Art Festival in 2018 and we have been participating ever since!" said Etzweiler.
Greenlight Operation's mission statement, "Prevention, Collaboration, Restoration," displays the work that is put in by leadership and volunteers alike to spread awareness of human trafficking and slavery in our own communities. Many are willing to listen and learn.
"I am passionate about this organization and the vision behind it!" Etzweiler said. "I have learned so much and unfortunately how it's happening all around us, not just in other countries. Awareness is key and there are many ways to get involved to help fight against modern-day slavery."
As of 2019, Pennsylvania ranks 9th in the number of reported cases of human trafficking, according to Greenlight Operation. This is an alarming development from 2018 in which Pennsylvania ranked 11th. Since then, there has only been a significant increase in reported cases.
Statistics of the FBI agree with those of Greenlight Operation.
As of 2019, 1,883 cases of federal human trafficking were reported: 1,607 were in the category of commercial sex acts, and 274 were instances of involuntary servitude, according to the FBI. The FBI also acknowledges the steady increase of reported incidences in past years.
Knaub mentioned both the positives and negatives behind knowing these statistics.
"It's both a good thing and a bad thing because it tells us people are becoming more aware and more educated and saying something, but it also means that we have that much more trafficking going on," said Knaub.
One of the reasons behind the continued growth of trafficking is due to what is being trafficked…people.
"It's the largest enterprise in the world," said Knaub. "It beats out drug trafficking…it is the fastest growing criminal enterprise worldwide because, unlike drugs, humans can be used over and over again."
Despite its rapid growth, the exact statistics of human trafficking are not well-known, even to leaders and organizations such as Greenlight Operation who combat it.
"It's one of those things where we don't know," Knaub said. "We have people contact us almost weekly with situations, needing help."
Some of those situations came from people at Greenlight Operation's past fundraisers who approached those in the organization and said, 'I know someone who is in a situation right now,' or 'I am being trafficked and didn't know.'
These situations complicate the gathering of true statistics, according to Greenlight Operation.
"It takes a network to bring down a network," Founder and CEO of Greenlight Operation Jordan Pine said in a statement.
Greenlight Operation was formed with a network of leadership aimed at this goal.
Greenlight Operation's leadership includes Founder and CEO Jordan Pine, Communications Coordinator Jessica Barnett, Marketing and Development Coordinator Ben Byler, Volunteer Coordinator Katie Ibberson, and Operations Coordinator Anna Knaub.
The organization's network has continued educating and spreading awareness to communities and individuals in an attempt to end trafficking.
"Outside of the big events, we love to tell volunteers that if they want to be involved, we can help plug them in whether they have two hours a week, or two hours a month!" said Knaub.
Many jobs are available to volunteers including becoming blog writers, seminar and training volunteers, and sharing Greenlight Operation's posts on social media.
To get involved, volunteer, learn more, or contact the Greenlight Operation team, visit their main page or contact them on their About page.
To report possible human trafficking, contact the National Human Trafficking Hotline at (888) 373-7888 or text "BeFree" to 233733.

Q: Nodejs appear installed but "--version" is not working. On Ubuntu 20.04 LTS I am having trouble in installing nodejs, npm and a specific version of angularCli.
THe problem is that nodejs appears installed when I use the command
sudo apt install nodejs
but appears not installed when I check for the version.
By using the command which, I am not finding any of nodejs, npm or ng
Like I am showing in the screen.

A: the Node version at the default Apt PPA is broken. The package is no longer maintained and hasn't been for a while now. It is stuck at version 10, whereas the current official stable release is 17.X.XX. The version is so old that it will not work (trying to use via command line will just give a version deprecation warning), and the NPM configuration installs in a way that anything installed with npm install xxxxx will not be useable.
My advice is to uninstall via apt remove and reinstall via curl or wget, or else add the NodeSource PPAs to sources.list and install from there. See here.
Be sure to uninstall the Ubuntu Repository package first. Otherwise, the system may give the Apt-installed binary priority.

Well~my kids and I got to playing in the kitchen one day, and we made an amazingly yummy new dish, that EVERYONE loves! The best part is, you can make enough to throw in the freezer, to save for those days when you just don't have time...Simply take it out of the freezer, throw it in the oven, and you have a tasty home-made meal ready in no time!
You'll also need 2~ 13x9 cake pans, or 3-4 smaller ones, if you'd like to make smaller portions to freeze, a large mixing bowl, and some tin foil.
In a large mixing bowl, add all 3 ground meats, the egg, and 4 oz. of cottage cheese. Use a mixing spoon, or, if you are like me~mash it together with your hands, until everything is thoroughly combined.
Now, grab a fork and start stuffing this mixture inside your UNCOOKED manicotti tubes. If you have a pastry bag, with a wide opening, you can put the meat mixture in that, and simply fill the tubes that way. Lay the stuffed tubes in your pan, in a single layer.
After about 45 minutes, remove pan(s) from oven, CAREFULLY remove tin foil, and sprinkle your shredded cheese over the top. Since we used 2 pans, we split the bag, and used half on each pan. Now, pop it back in the oven, uncovered, for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. If you are making garlic bread to go with it, this is the perfect time to pop that in, too! When the timer is done, dinner is ready! Even my picky "I'm-not-eating-dinner-unless-it's-pizza-or-hot-pockets!" 8 yr old will come back for seconds!
Serve with garlic toast! YUM!
That really looks yummy...I think I could even do that maybe :-) I have a very picky 6 yr old grand and I bet he will like it too..thanks gonna pin for later.


Don't worry, Be HAPPY! Tell someone how happy you are, how happy they make you or wish them a Happy Birthday with our Happy Face wind up, magic flying butterfly. It's light, bright and takes flight!
They were exactly as advertised and the video showing how to hold them and wind them was great.
Showed and Recommended them to the owner of the toy store I work in and they are now going to carry them in their store! Such a cute way to add a little something g to any card, whether it be to say hello, happy birthday, cheer up or get well! Just adorable!
These are the cutest, most fun things that I have ever seen. We have gotten some really good laughs.
Thanks so much for your awesome review of our wind up flying butterfly. We love helping make people laugh!
Have only sent one in a card. Person will not receive until next week.
Thanks so much for your awesome review of our wind up flying butterfly. We love making people smile! We hope they love them. We're sure they will!


Every year before fall arrives,in early september we used to go to visit Douro valley by car,to enjoy the river view and relaxing.
While we were driving across the river,my husband spotted a fig tree.
So,he stopped the🚗. Because I couldn't see any fig fruit I got out of the car and went there to take a closer look at the tree.
The tree was full of figs.Smart fruit,they were hidden among the leaves.
Then I realized there were lots of figs on the ground too,they literally made a carpet fruit around the tree.
I couldn't believe nobody picked them up?!!! I asked myself why?!!!
The tree is on the side of the road.....Then it downed on me that here everyone has fig trees in their backyard.
I couldn't believe an hour ago we paid for a box of figs and now we can have them for free😕.
My husband joined me and we started to pick up figs.
We climbed the tree, like we did when we were children,picking figs and screaming, every time we've found another one among the leaves.
Only after we filled up the bascket with figs and we decided it was time to come back home,we realized we had screatches and an anoying itching on arms,our hands were sticky and our t-shirts were stained. But we didn't care about these,we had so much fun and we can't wait to do it again next year!!
These cheesecake bars were actually the very first baking recipe I tested out and they came out 👌.This is a keeper,guys.Let me know if you try them!
Preheat oven to 175ºC/347ºF. Lightly butter and line with parchmentpaper bottom and sides of a 23cm x 23cm (9"x9")square pan.
Place figs in a food processor,pulse for a few seconds to puree into a paste.Put the paste into a saucepan,add the sugar,Port wine and lemon zeste. Cook 10 to 15 minutes,over medium heat,until figs are tender and most of liquid is absorbed.Allow it to cool until is ready to use.
Place butter and sugar into a food processor,blend until creamy.Add flour and and pulse until well blended and crumbly. Spread the dough evenly over the botton of the pan.Set aside.Meanwhile,prepare the cream cheese filling.
In a large bowl,add cream cheese and sugar. Mix with an electric mixer on low-speed until smooth.
Add the eggs,one at a time and beat just until incorporated.Add vanilla extract and flour and slowly mix just until incorporated.
Pour the mixture over the crust.Spread it evenly with a rubber spatula then top with fig mixture.
Bake at 175ºC/347ºF for 40-45 min until the center is almost. Place a sheet of aluminium foil over the pan,halfway through the baking process to prevent the top of the cheesecake from burning.
Once baked,remove the cheesecake from the pan at place it on a wire rack to cool.
Place small amounts of fig mixture over cream cheese layer.
I just went through something very similar with my husband and son recently, but instead of figs it was quince. Loads of quince on the side of the road and no one picks them up, so every year, at the end of our vaycay we hop in the car and go pick up quince to our hearts content!!

The Covid Bioweapon Outrage is Growing Stronger by the Day: It's Time to Change the Narrative Again
I've reported anecdotally on a number of reports and videos I have recently seen of leading doctors, scientists and even politicians who are demanding investigations and accountability from public health officials and governmental authorities to the large number of unexplained deaths following the introduction of the Covid bioweapons in December of 2021. Just recently, the head of the Australian Medical Association joined this outcry. as reported here:
http://stateofthenation.co/?p=151057#more-151057 (Earthshaking Covid Vax Development in the Land Down Under!)
So far, the very real and widespread harm being done by these Experimental Use Authorization injections has been publicly reported in the most muted of tones and language. But I expect that is now about to change. What should be happening ought to be calls for the immediate arrest and execution of countless doctors, hospital administrators, public health officials, school administrators and media propagandists, as well as Big Pharma executives, all of whom conspired and colluded with one another to push what they all had ample reason to believe were dangerous bioweapons that they knew were neither safe nor effective. I can say this, having conducted my own research and co-authored with God a book of my own entitled, There is NO Virus!, released in September of 2021, that has been very well received by over 240 readers of our book, in which I laid out all the facts as a former business executive who holds an MBA with second year honors from the Harvard Business School (1981) and a BA degree with Highest Honors and Phi Beta Kappa and Phi Kappa Phi honor society distinctions from UC Davis (1976). Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., in his very successful and revealing book, The Real Anthony Fauci, lays out all the evidence that proves conclusively that Anthony Fauci, the Dr. Mengele of the Covid era, ought to have been arrested and executed for crimes against humanity long before now. The fact that people are not rioting in the streets over this issue reveals just how brainwashed and impotent the American people have become in the face of what can only be described as domestic terrorism and pure evil.
In the end, anyone who knows God as I do, knows that God is using these unfolding events to demonstrate quite conclusively the total depravity of man, apart from Him, right before He lowers his hammer of fury and wrath upon all the wicked and foolish people of this perishing earth.
What is telling about this referenced article is the fact that the first female president of the Australian Medical Association (AMA), a Dr. Kerryn Phelps, is now reporting that both she and her "wife" have both suffered debilitating injuries from the Covid jabs and that she has observed and experienced intense psychological pressures not to come forward to question the accuracy of the numbers reporting on adverse events and deaths from these EUA injections, which clearly are a government-orchestrated bioweapon that has exposed the complete corruption of the global medical establishment and industry. Anyone who still trusts any doctor or hospital now, in the aftermath of the greatest crime in all of world history, is a damned fool. Dr. Phelps is perhaps the most senior medical doctor who has stepped forward to join the chorus of outraged bioweapon victims to date. I'm sure she will be joined by many more like her in the coming weeks. And this creates a huge problem for the Khazarian mafia who has been responsible for driving this global mass genocide campaign, because if they don't do something dramatic to suppress it, could easily grow out of control and result in their all being hunted down and lynched for their complicity in it.
Notice that God is using this Dr. Phelps who is married to another woman to make this public announcement. Thus, she is freely admitting that she is a practicing lesbian. Those who engage in homosexuality are universally possessed by powerful demon spirits that are often angry, violent and flamboyant, drawing attention to themselves. As such, this Dr. Phelps and her lesbian partner have crossed the line with God:
"For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet (meaning, appropriate or deserved). Romans 1:26-27 (Parenthetical added for clarity; boldface added for emphasis)
So God is telling the wise and the godly that these two women foolishly took the jabs and are experiencing the inevitable consequences for their foolish actions. Anyone with the least bit of street smarts and common sense could have readily deduced that these injections were not the least bit warranted, and likely to pose some dangerous and unknown health risks. I know, because this is precisely the conclusion I came to long before the injections were first administered. But even more than that, anyone who practices the homosexual lifestyle is possessed by powerful demon spirits which inevitably confound and confuse the thinking of their hosts. I know this, because I researched and God and I co-authored our second book, Spiritual Warfare in the Final Days of the End Times, that was first released in the fall of 2016, some seven years ago, that explains the principles, strategies and tactics governing the spirit realm and the subject of spiritual warfare.
Mike Adams of healthrangerreport.com reports in his daily podcasts that roughly 19 out of 20 people who are political leftists and those of the LBGTQ movement, such as these two women, appear to have submitted themselves to taking the death jabs in their willful ignorance. Those who identify themselves as leftists and those of the LBGTQ movement almost universally hate God, the Bible, Christians and the truth and manifest the telltale signs of the rebellious, the wicked and the foolish, which the Book of Proverbs teaches the wise and the righteous. It appears to me that God is telling us that these two foolish and rebellious women will prove to be a harbinger and bad omen of things to come upon this segment of the global population. Furthermore, there is evidence from pharmaceutical researchers, such as Karen Kingston, that we may have yet to witness the mass die-off that the Khazarian mafia has planned once 5G wireless technology is turned on and tuned to specific frequencies that activate substances in the injections that lead to their hosts' deaths. Once again, if this is true, God is the one ultimately orchestrating this yet-to-be-witnessed mass die-off event of global proportions.
Meanwhile the Khazarian mafia has every reason to be gravely concerned for their safety from here on out. This is likely to result in their escaping to their deep underground bunkers to hide from the masses while they use their proxies to provoke Russia in every way imaginable to employ nuclear weapons to take out a number of European and American cities, as their final human blood sacrifice to their god, Lucifer. This appears to be the manifestation of Armageddon prophesied in the Bible at Revelation 19:19-21 and 20:8-10.
"And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD (YHWH) will smite the people that have fought against (spiritual) Jerusalem (signifying true born again followers of Yahushua, who have the faith of Abraham); Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth." Zechariah 14:12 (Parentheticals added for clarity; boldface added for emphasis)
If I am correct that the Khazarian mafia has already escaped to their deep underground bunkers, then it would reveal that Revelation 6:15, part of the last remaining end times prophecy that has to be fulfilled before the second coming of Christ and the end of the world occurs, has now been fulfilled:
"And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; and said to the mountains and the rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne (namely, God), and from the wrath of the Lamb (Yahushua): For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?" Revelation 6:15-17 (Parentheticals added for clarity)
In short, all the chess pieces are now in place. The second coming of Yahushua, followed by the end of the world, could occur suddenly and without warning anytime now. Let the wise and the righteous understand; the foolish and the wicked never will. This nightmare is much closer to ending than most people realize.

He made the statement at the 6th congress of the Vietnamese Entrepreneurs in Germany held in Berlin on December 7.
Ambassador Vu spoke highly of what the association has done, saying he expects it will expand its member network across Germany and help Vietnamese people in Germany stay united, contributing to enhancing the bilateral ties.
The association's activities must be centred around its members and timely support should be provided to the members to help them solve difficulties in business, he continued, Vu added.
The diplomat also updated the participating Vietnamese businesses on an action programme on the bilateral strategic partnership recently inked between the two countries' foreign ministries for the 2019 – 2021 period to deepen the ties in all areas.
Once the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTU) takes effect, it will open big opportunities for entrepreneurs from both sides, so they must seize these chances and act as a bridge to beef up the two countries' comprehensive partnership.
He also wanted the association and its members will take part in a series of event to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the Vietnam-Germany diplomatic ties next year, contributing to strengthening the two peoples' friendship and cooperation.
During the congress, a new executive committee was voted with 19 members and Vo Van Long was elected as president of the association.

The European Court of Human Rights Fined Turkey with a Total of EUR 61.4 Million
World | October 4, 2017, Wednesday // 13:13| views
Turkey received fines of 258 million Turkish liras ( EUR 61.4 million) from the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) for the period 2004 to 2016, according to data from the Ministry of Justice in Ankara , quoted by Hurriyet Daily News.
The court also issued a total of 485 human rights violations in the country for four years, from 2012 to 2016.
"Turkey has become the leading country so far on human rights violations in Europe," said MEP by the opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) Zaynep Altook, at whose request the ministry published the information.
Statistics show that 2328 complaints were filed with the ECHR in 2006 and 8308 in 2016. The country has to pay a total of 258 Turkish lira for human rights victims since 2004, with the largest fine was in 2011, amounting to 37 million Turkish lira (8.8 million euros).
In the words of Altook for 57 years, the ECHR examined a total of 7286 human rights violations, of which 1497 against Turkey. She also pointed out that Ankara also had a problem with the payment of the fines in the given period, which, she says, is also a violation of human rights.

Getting on the pulpit
KCRCC seeks to declare Idaho a Christian state
February 24, 2015 at 5:00 am | By JEFF SELLE/jselle@cdapress.com
COEUR d'ALENE - Some members of the local Republican Party are pushing precinct committeemen to adopt a resolution that would declare Idaho a Christian state.
The Kootenai County Republican Central Committee will take up the issue at its regular meeting tonight at 7 in the Kootenai County Courthouse.
And while some committee members want to address the issue of religious persecution, other members are wondering why the party should even get involved.
Precinct 52 Committeeman Bjorn Handeen, who represents the more Libertarian arm of the local party, said the move is an interesting one.
"I know there are different types of conservatives in the party," he said. "I would be viewed as Ron Paul- or Libertarian- inclined, but there are some who are more theocratically inclined."
He said a member of the more theocratic ilk likely proposed the resolution.
"If you are asking me how I am going to vote," he said. "Not just nay, but hell nay."
Handeen suspects the resolution is part of an early effort to define factions in the local party before the 2016 presidential primaries.
He said he cannot support any of those efforts.
"You start getting into using religion to divide the party," he said. "I am more into using freedom to unite us."
The resolution purports that the founders of the United States reference Christianity in a number of founding documents, and citing continued persecution from government agencies, they want the state "formally and specifically declared a Christian state."
Kellie Palm, who represents precinct 15 in the local party, said she is not going to support it either.
"I really don't think it's something we should be getting involved with," she said. "That is a very, very slippery slope."
She believes the "Rally Right" faction of the local party may be pushing it.
"After reading it, it sounds like something straight out of Hitler," she said. "This is not where we should be focusing."
But that is not the half of it, Palm said, when it comes to tonight's meeting. She said there is an effort underway to unseat elected precinct committeemen, who are considered inactive.
After consulting attorneys and party leadership about that effort, Palm said she is convinced that the KCRCC is pushing a legal line that could spur lawsuits.
"A Kootenai County precinct committeeman cannot be kicked off the central committee unless they resign," she said. "Unless they can change the state statute, they cannot do it."
Palm said the committee plans to address the issue again at tonight's meeting.
"What they are doing is going to provoke lawsuits," Palm said. "They are all bitching about not having enough money to buy flags for the parade, well what do they think a lawsuit is going to cost them."

Available exclusively in the USA and Canada from Penguin Books.
In the summer and early fall of 2011, the writer DW Gibson set off on a journey across the United States. His purpose: to interview Americans who have lost their jobs in the ongoing economic disaster that has destroyed the livelihood of millions. The result: a book that takes the pulse of the victims of today's financial crisis and delivers a prognosis combining an extraordinary mix of pathos, anger, solidarity and humor.
Together with two companions, a filmmaker and a playwright, Gibson travelled from the collapsing new economy white-box factories of California to the rusting and derelict industrial plants of the Northeast. Along the way, he talked to the recently unemployed of all stripes – a college graduate fired from her first job after just a week at work, an HR executive dismissed after herself laying off hundreds of her colleagues, a cleaner fired in a cafeteria during her lunch break, and a real estate executive whose first inkling that something was amiss occurred when he arrived at his office to find it abandoned.
Each of these stories is different, and the detail of how people experience the trauma of being "let go" provides a fascinating core to Not Working. But, beyond the specifics, important general themes emerge: the range of the recession which, despite the particular vulnerabilities of people of color and the less-educated, is impacting communities right across the country; the sense of isolation and purposeless that accompanies losing one's job and the widespread feeling that the victims are somehow responsible for their fate; and the inventiveness, generosity and good humor of many of those trying to rebuild lives shattered by lost income and self-respect.
Inspired by the great oral historian Studs Terkel, whose Working dominates the canon of American social history, Not Working is a book of burning importance for America today, a critical intervention in an election year when stubbornly immovable 9% unemployment is certain to be the central issue. In these pages we see unemployment not as a statistic but as a real tragedy in the lives of many Americans whose compelling stories demand to be heard.
Not Working, the book, will be accompanied by a documentary film of the same name.

Using the latest Census data, we detail the 100 biggest cities in Nebraska. You can all see a comprehensive list of all 123 cities and places in Nebraska.
We all love the biggest cities that the Cornhusker State has to offer. You know the places like Omaha and Lincoln which make all the headlines.
But there are a bunch of other great large cities in Nebraska that don't get as much love.
We're going to change that right now.
Using the most recent Census data, we can tell you about all the places in Nebraska with a focus on the biggest. We update the data each year and this is our fourth time doing this.
You can click here to see a full table of the full of the 100 biggest cities in Nebraska, along with every other place over 1,000 people big. It is sortable by clicking on the headers.
We've been ranking and dissecting cities in the Cornhusker State for over 4 years now -- making this actually the fourth time we've run the numbers. We always use the best data, the US Census. In this case, that means we are using the 2013-2017 American Community Survey.
It what is probably the most simple analysis we run each year, we ranked every place in Nebraska from biggest to smallest. The biggest city this year? That would be Omaha.
The smallest? Waterloo, although there are places smaller than 1,000 people not listed here, so keep that in mind as we take a look at the top ten.
Omaha is the largest city in the state of Nebraska and the county seat of Douglas County. Omaha is located in the Midwestern United States on the Missouri River, about 10 miles north of the mouth of the Platte River. Omaha is the anchor of the Omaha-Council Bluffs metropolitan area, which includes Council Bluffs, Iowa, across the Missouri River from Omaha.

Including its suburbs, Omaha formed the 60th-largest metropolitan area in the United States in 2013, with an estimated population of 895,151 residing in eight counties. The Omaha-Council Bluffs-Fremont, Nebraska-IA Combined Statistical Area is 931,667, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's 2013 estimate. Nearly 1.3 million people reside within the Greater Omaha area, comprising a 50-mile radius of Downtown Omaha, the city's center.
Fremont is a city in Dodge County in the eastern portion of the state of Nebraska in the Midwestern United States. The population was 26,397 at the 2010 census. Fremont is the county seat and the home of Midland University.

Hastings is also known for Fisher Fountain, and during World War II operated the largest Naval Ammunition Depot in the United States.
We hope that you find the big city, or really any city, that's right for you. Below is a list of the rest of the biggest cities along with every other place in Nebraska.

Condemnations of the controversial Republican candidate for his fiery rhetoric about Muslims have not deterred Rabbi Bernhard Rosenberg from cheering him on.
Now, these groups are joined by a rabbinical flag-bearer for Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump.
The controversial GOP front-runner's fiery rhetoric about Muslims may have drawn condemnation from American rabbis and other Jewish leaders across the denominational spectrum, but that hasn't stopped Dr. Bernhard Rosenberg, who is also a rabbi, from cheering on The Donald.
The group's page has 520 "likes" so far, though how many of the likers are actual supporters, as opposed to interested bystanders, is anyone's guess. So far, the posts consist mostly of praise for Trump, fiery complaints about negative media coverage of the candidate, promotions of Rosenberg's book and a proud mention that Rosenberg's congregation hosted the controversial anti-Muslim blogger-activist Pamela Geller.
The rabbi, who is the child of two Holocaust survivors and says he was born in a displaced person's camp in Germany, shares Trump's opposition to allowing Syrian refugees into the country.
"My concern is that these Syrian refugees are not being vetted by the FBI," he told the New Jersey Jewish News.
Rosenberg, who notes frequently (and all in capital letters) on the Rabbi for Trump page, "The Nazis and Hitler murdered most of my family," told the New Jersey paper he objected to a letter signed by 1,000 rabbis several weeks ago comparing Syrian refugees to Jewish refugees from the Nazis.
"There's no comparison between this and the Holocaust, where Jews had nowhere to go to. Certainly in this case Europe can take them in and certainly the Arab countries can take them in. I just don't want something to happen where my children or somebody else's children live. I think it's a disservice for Holocaust survivors to make the comparison," he said.


The Anglo American unit, which is currently spending $2 billion on the Venetia underground diamond mining project in Limpopo, says the move paves the way for a lower-cost operator to take Voorspoed beyond 2020, when it is scheduled to close.
Potential buyers will be required to exhibit a record of success technically and financially, and to meet all applicable regulatory and social requirements while economically and sustainably operating the mine.
De Beers says move paves the way for a lower-cost operator to take the diamond mine beyond 2020, when it is scheduled to close.
"Based on our experience with other operations, we believe the most responsible course of action is to give other lower-cost operators the opportunity to purchase the mine and potentially extend its life," the chief executive of De Beers Consolidated Mines, Phillip Barton, said in the statement. "This will maximize the benefit for the community and the mine's workers," he noted.
De Beers has appointed the Standard Bank of South Africa Limited as financial adviser on the proposed disposal process of Voorspoed, located in Kroonstad, Free State, the company said.
Diamond exploration in South Africa is at multi-decade lows due to increasing red-tape in the granting of prospecting licenses. De Beers itself, which will be down to a single mine in South Africa after the sale of Voorspoed, has 54 exploration applications stuck with the Department of Mineral Resources, some for two years, according to Business Live.
Explorers are also wary of perceived risks of a new Mining Charter, currently being challenged in court.
Voorspoed, one of South Africa's largest diamond mines, is not the only operation De Beers will see soon gone from its portfolio. Early this month, the company announced it was shutting its Victor mine, the first and only commercial diamond operation in the Canadian province of Ontario, in early 2019.
The company is also said to have decided to close four mines in Namibia by 2022, Mineworkers Union of Namibia Oranjemund branch chairman, Mbidhi Shavuka, told The Namibian Sun (subs. required).

Wisconsin Senator Johnson and Colleagues Urge White House to Reverse Major Climate Policies
December 9, 2022 December 8, 2022 Bradley Vasoli
Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) wrote jointly with several colleagues to President Joe Biden this week urging him to reverse major elements of his anti-fossil-fuel agenda.
The letter from the senators takes issue with several actions the White House has taken to hinder investment in, and use of oil, natural gas, and coal in an effort the administration insists is important to lessening global warming.
"In the nearly two years since you were sworn into office, your administration has made countless efforts to push through its sweeping environmental agenda through the financial regulators," the lawmakers wrote. "These efforts, though sold by administration officials as steps necessary to mitigate climate risks, are solely an attempt to strong-arm financial institutions and other firms into choking off capital to industries that are foundational to our nation's economy, yet are continually villainized by the far left."
Senators first criticized the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) proposed requirement that public companies provide an accounting of their carbon emissions investors. Free-market advocates have strongly reproved the administration for suggesting that the SEC deal with an environmental concern that many believe is well outside its remit as a financial regulator.
Signers to the letter complained further that the SEC rule not only calls on corporations to account for their greenhouse-gas discharge but for "Scope 3" emissions to which they indirectly contribute via their customers and suppliers. Because Scope 3 discharge is not under the control of the public company, Johnson and his colleagues opined the prospective regulation would be "unworkable."
The administration has also proposed a Federal Supplier Climate Risks and Resilience Rule imposing a similar mandate on federal contractors, which the senators characterized as "equally alarming" insofar as they believe it would be detrimental to many small businesses.
Other ways in which the administration is pursuing its climate agenda concern the banking industry. The Federal Reserve, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation have advised large banks to engage in climate-change risk management irrespective of fiduciary impact. The Department of Labor, meanwhile, has called for pension administrators to factor in climate change when making investment choices.
"All of these actions have real-world impacts that your administration would be well served to evaluate," the letter read. "For instance, establishing rules, strategic plans, and principles to coerce financial institutions and other firms to limit their lending and exposure to certain businesses drives up prices on consumers. Choking off access to capital for companies in the energy sector in an attempt to decimate the fossil fuels industry drives up the cost of fuel and electricity at a time of record costs, further stoking inflation."
Other signatories to the letter included Senators John Thune (R-SD), John Barrasso (R-WY), Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Mike Braun (R-IN), Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Kevin Cramer (R-ND), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), Roger Wicker (R-MS) and John Hoeven (R-ND).
The June U.S. Supreme Court decision West Virginia v. EPA leads some to question whether the Biden administration will ultimately be permitted to implement its planned SEC rule. The decision held that the court can nullify a regulation if it has a novel application is economically or politically consequential and lacks unmistakable congressional authorization.
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) is among those encouraging Biden to go forward with the disclosure requirement anyway.
"Where there is a strong factual basis and legal support for rulemaking, agencies should move forward with confidence," he recently commented.

Yosemite National Park: Our most recommended tours and activities
1. San Francisco: Yosemite National Park & Giant Sequoias Hike
The Total Yosemite Experience is the only 1-day tour to combine the Yosemite Valley and a Giant Sequoia Walk all in the same day. See why artists and poets have been inspired for generations. Since 1890, beautiful Yosemite National Park has been the jewel of America's National Parks, possessing some of the best–known landmarks in the world, such as the tallest waterfall in North America, Yosemite Falls. You'll have 5-6 hours to explore the stunning national park, and take in the majestic natural wonders, accompanied by a complimentary audio guided tour. Yosemite is home to the spectacular Half Dome & El Capitan, 2 of the most frequently climbed cliffs in the world. It is also home to several groves of stunning Giant Sequoia trees, the largest trees on earth. The Giant Sequoia Walk is along 1 mile (1.5 km) of paved trail with a 400 ft (120 m) incline, snow depth permitting. Experiencing Yosemite in a friendly group, you will see stunning panoramas, go on walks, and even hike a little, before returning to San Francisco. Or if you prefer, you can upgrade to a private tour for your group only.
2. San Francisco to Yosemite Park Small Group Tour
Escape the crowds of San Francisco on a full-day tour to Yosemite National Park. Travel by comfortable, responsible transportation in a bio-fueled mini-coach. Heading east across the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge offers great views of the San Francisco skyline, Alcatraz Island, Fisherman's Wharf, and the Golden Gate Bridge. En route to the park the tour crosses through the Central Valley, where you will stop at a fruit stand for some local produce. Famous for its rich volcanic soil, the Central Valley is the largest agricultural region in the United States. The section the tour drives through is best known for speciality fruits and nuts such as almonds, walnuts, cherries, and strawberries. After this quick rest stop, you will enter the rolling foothills of the Sierra Nevadas. Continuing into the mountains brings you to California gold country and the gold rush town of Groveland before the tour winds its way into Yosemite National Park. On your 1.5-hour narrated coach tour of Yosemite's glaciated valley, you will see famous waterfalls and rock formations including Yosemite Falls, the tallest waterfall in North America. Continue on past El Capitan, Half Dome, Bridalveil Falls, Sentinel Dome, and much more. During the tour you will see Yosemite Valley from a number of great vantage points, the best of which is perhaps Inspiration Point. After the tour, you will stop for the afternoon near the base of Yosemite Falls. If you have not already picked up picnic supplies, there are many options for getting lunch in the park. You will have 3-4 hours of free time to explore the valley as you choose. You can walk to the base of Yosemite Falls, check out the visitor center, visit the Ansel Adams Gallery, stop in at the Ahwahnee Hotel, rent a cruiser bike, or hike some of the trails that originate from the valley. Although you could easily spend 3 weeks in Yosemite, the 3 hours you get on your own is enough time to understand why Yosemite is one of America's most popular national parks.
3. From San Francisco: Yosemite National Park
Travel through the Great Central Valley into the Sierra Foothills where Forty-Niners panned for Gold. Follow the beautiful Merced River to the majestic Sierra Nevada Mountains.

Take advantage of the photo opportunities at: • El Capitan • Bridalveil Falls • Vernal Falls • Yosemite Falls • Cathedral Spires • Half Dome

Your guide will provide a park orientation and hiking briefing so you can wander around alone. Be dropped off either at Curry Village or Yosemite Valley Lodge in the park. During your 5 hours of free time, explore Yosemite either by hiking its most famous trails or biking your way around Yosemite Valley. Marvel at views of Half Dome, a granite dome known for its distinct shape. Go for a swim in the nearby Merced River to cool down from Yosemite's summer heat. Your expert guide can recommend the best trails and where to rent a bike. After a day of exploration, meet your guide back at either Curry Village or Yosemite Valley Lodge to be dropped off back at your original point: Yosemite View Lodge.

Be prepared for this strenuous hike, where you'll descend 400 feet into the grove, before turning around and walking back up. Next, you'll cruise into the famous Yosemite Valley to take in views of Bridalveil Falls, El Capitan, Half Dome, and more. Capture breathtaking photos at Tunnel View and take in the eastern expanse of Yosemite Valley. Once inside the valley, you'll have 1.5 hours of free time to explore on your own. Your guide will help you decide what to do: you can meander down paved paths, hike around Yosemite Falls, engage further with the park's history at the visitor's center, or visit the Ansel Adams Gallery. In the late afternoon, you'll depart for San Francisco, stopping for a short break before arriving back in the city. You'll arrive back at your hotel around 8:30 to 9:00 PM to sleep off the day's adventures.

While here, grab some photos and take in the beauty of this glacially-carved valley in winter. Next, travel to another area of the park to reach the trailhead to the Giant Sequoias. Once at the trailhead, it's time to layer up and strap on your snowshoes. If appropriate snow conditions do not exist, you will complete the hike in your regular hiking boots. On this 3-mile round-trip hike, make your way down the serene trail to reach the cluster of ancient Giant Sequoias. Find around 20 mature trees in one of Yosemite's most peaceful groves. Once you've worked up an appetite, enjoy your provided picnic lunch surrounded by the towering trees. Next, make the gradual uphill return of 600 feet elevation back to the trailhead. Change out of your layers, get comfortable, and relax on the scenic drive back to your hotel.

From beginning to end, hiking The Panorama Trail is a life-changing adventure that you will never forget. On your hike of the Panorama Trail, you will observe the glorious granite formation of the Half Dome from multiple angles, admire the elusive Illilouette Fall from closer than any other cleared path allows, and even stand atop and below the base of both steps of "The Giant's Staircase," a series of the spectacular Nevada and Vernal Falls.

What people are saying about Yosemite National Park
Must do when in SF. Yes it's a long ride, but it's so worth the visit! The time you get in the park is around 3h which is ok-ish for a small walk around the lodge to check the falls and maybe some half-dome views. You need days to explore the whole thing! In the winter you don't get to see the sequoias because the road is closed. We stopped to see the tunnel view which is amazing and also stopped 2 times to see different views of elcap which is breathtaking! The driver was also very good and informative!

Mr Anupam Kher is all praise for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and "his colleagues". The actor believes Indian cinema is doing well under his governance.
Speaking at the FICCI-IIFA Global Business Forum at the three-day International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Weekend and Awards, Mr Kher said that the Indian film industry is flourishing. "Indian cinema is going through golden period under PM Modi. It's flourishing. I have great faith in him and his colleagues, including my wife (BJP MP Kirron Kher)," Mr Kher said.
The actor, who has done over 450 films in 31 years, believes that Indian movies have managed to make "people happy worldwide". "This is one job in which everyone puts life into it, including a lightboy. They have nothing to do with the film's profit, still they put blood and sweat into it," said the "Saaransh" actor.
The 60-year-old also spoke about his acting school Actor Prepares. "Eleven years back I started the school. I had almost gone bankrupt as my dreams were bigger than reality. I started the school with 12 students and now there are 500. "It can be compared to any acting school. It's the best thing I can offer to Malaysia," said the actor, who hates using the term 'Bollywood' for the Hindi film industry.
He conjectured that the "Hindi film industry will take over any industry in the next 10 years. We have corporate support and infrastructure". IIFA, organised by Wizcraft International Entertainment Pvt Ltd, is recognised across the world for its celebration of Indian cinema held in an exotic locale every year. While the glamour and the grandeur of the IIFA Weekend is spectacular, IIFA is also heavily invested in the promotion of businesses opportunities, trade relations and cinema opportunities between India and IIFA's host nation.


JERUSALEM -- Israel's defense minister said in an interview published yesterday that he expects Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to agree to the principle of Palestinian statehood -- something the Israeli leader has balked at doing.
Netanyahu is coming under increasing pressure from Washington to resume peacemaking with the Palestinians.
In what could be seen as a mild slap from the United States, Israel's ceremonial president, Shimon Peres, will meet President Barack Obama next week, before Netanyahu travels to Washington in mid-May.
Netanyahu has stepped back from his original plan to hold off on political negotiations while working with the Palestinians to improve their economy. But Netanyahu has stopped short of endorsing a separate Palestinian state, a key element of U.S. policy.
In an interview with the Haaretz newspaper, Defense Minister Ehud Barak suggested that Netanyahu could relent.
The prime minister's office would not comment. But an aide to the prime minister said a policy review was under way and should be completed around the time Netanyahu goes to Washington.
The Palestinians hope to set up a state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem, territories Israel captured in the 1967 war.
Israel withdrew its troops and settlers from Gaza in 2005. But the coastal territory is now controlled by the Islamic group Hamas.
Hamas and Fatah, a rival Palestinian group, ended a fourth round of reconciliation talks in Egypt yesterday without success, but they agreed to convene one more time to try to reach an accord.


From KTM – Factory FMF/KTM rider Taylor Robert earned 2nd overall at the 4th Annual Tennessee Knockout Extreme Enduro held at the Trials Training Center. Factory FMF/KTM support rider Grant Baylor and Kailub Russell also competed in the event finishing 3rd and 14th respectively.
The event started with a hot lap around the short course for seeding times in the first knockout round. Robert would qualify 2nd, Russell 6th and Grant Baylor 8th.
In the first knockout the riders set out the long course to complete one lap, in less than two hours. The top 25 riders would advance to the second knockout. Unfortunately, Robert missed a turn on in a tight tree section that cost him almost thirty seconds. Robert was able to maintain his position and cross the finish 2nd in adjusted time behind Cody Webb. Russell put in an impressive ride to advance to the second round in 3rd along with Baylor following in 4th.
As the second knockout round began a thunder storm rolled in making the difficult terrain even more challenging for the racers. Once again, Robert finished the long course in 2nd behind Webb, easily transferring to the final knockout. Grant Baylor managed to put in a solid ride finishing 8th, while Russell experienced a small problem near the end of the lap, but was able to cross the finish in 9th. Both Baylor and Russell qualified for the final knockout.
With the weather conditions worsening, the final knockout round was reduced to a five lap race with a waterfall obstacle on the last lap. On the first lap, Robert and Baylor came through 2nd and 3rd, side by side. It wasn't until the second lap that Robert was able to pass his teammate in the endurocross section. For the next two laps Robert tried to make up time on the lead rider of Cody Webb.
After overcoming the lapped riders and waterfall obstacle, Robert rode through the finish taking 2nd place overall. Grant Baylor stayed within thirty seconds of Robert for the entire five lap final, securing 3rd and his first TKO podium. Meanwhile, Russell struggled with lappers and crashes on the wet course and finished the day 14th overall.
