Karlu Karlu / Devils Marbles Conservation Reserve is a protected area located 105 km (65 mi) south of Tennant Creek, Northern Territory, Australia and 393 km (244 mi) north of Alice Springs. The nearest settlement is the small town of Wauchope located 9 km (5.6 mi) to the south.

The Devils Marbles are of great cultural and spiritual significance to the traditional Aboriginal owners of the land, and the reserve protects one of the oldest religious sites in the world as well as the natural rock formations found there. Karlu Karlu is the local Aboriginal term for both the rock features and the surrounding area....

Whether the current hostility will further intensify and lead to #war remains to be seen. It is hoped that this will not happen. It is, however, indisputable that #China’s rise and, especially, the fear it has created in #America is the main reason behind the latter’s growing confrontation with the former. What’s more, whether it’s intentional or not, it is #XiJinping - or, more exactly, his forceful posturing both at home and abroad - that has considerably intensified such a friction.

At the National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) last October, Xi not only declared that China 'has stood up, grown rich, and is becoming strong' and 'with an entirely new posture, now stands tall and firm in the East.' He also urged his rising country to 'stride forward at the forefront of the world' and 'take center stage' in the world. In many other statements and manifestations, Xi makes clear that the Middle Kingdom is determined to realize its 'Chinese Dream' to become a, if not the, leading global power - technologically, economically and militarily.

It looks like Luke Cage is the next Marvel superhero series to get the axe from Netflix.

"Beto O’Rourke is a total lightweight compared to Ted Cruz, and he comes nowhere near representing the values and desires of the people of the Great State of Texas," Trump tweeted in response. https://trib.al/lyZxnLC

Apparently this is the entertainment news of the day. Luke Cage is canceled shortly after Iron Fist. Rumor has it that this was due to creative differences. Meanwhile, some suggest that this is because Marvel is starting up its own streaming service and cutting ties with Netflix. Either way, it's disappointing.

Personally, I'm just finding it interesting that the two shows that were canceled were the shows starring characters who are well known for working together as a team. So I'm holding out hope for Marvel and Disney to announce Heroes for Hire soon. It was the next logical step anyway. It unfortunately takes away a black-led superhero show, but there is still good that could come of it.

#Trump has yet to pay a visit to #UnitedStates troops overseas because he has been 'very busy with everything that’s taking place here.' Trump’s comments about being too busy come despite him receiving regular criticism for the number of times he has taken to the golf course during his presidency - 68 times by the latest count. Asked why he had not yet made a trip to visit troops, Trump said it was not a particularly important part of his job.

Some #veterans have been less than impressed with Trump’s stance on visiting troops risking their lives overseas. 'Veterans aren’t surprised Trump has no interest in going to war, after he used his wealth and elite connections to avoid the draft five times while working class people went in his place,' according to Alexander McCoy, a former U.S. Marine Corps Sergeant and spokesperson for progressive veterans group Common Defense
