Nagarahole Tiger Reserve, Karnataka, India

How typical that what is most tempting in the middle of the monsoon is not that which is easily accessed, but almost out of reach. I guess the leaves on this tree are absolutely irresistible, as it would be much easier and simpler to pick what’s near or on the ground. The monsoon is the time of plenty, when you can afford being picky and select only the very best.

This species, also called spotted deer, is very numerous in many places, and here they are seen almost wherever you turn your head. A haven for the tiger and leopard.

More than 50 prominent US foreign policy, intelligence and national security figures have urged the administration of President Donald Trump to change its strategy toward Iran, saying any desire for “regime change” in the country is “wishful thinking.”

Members and backers of the Trump administration are profiting from DAPL while scheming to make even bigger bucks shipping oil and petrochemicals overseas.

THE PRODUCER
Harold Hamm, Chairman and CEO, Continental Resources
"Fracking King" Harold Hamm, dubbed Trump's "energy whisperer" for his oversized role influencing the candidate's energy policy, was a regular Trump sidekick at oil-country appearances pre- and post-election. Hamm donated personally to Trump's presidential bid, while Continental Resources ponied up $100,000 for the inauguration. After DAPL's completion, Continental's Bakken oil production surged, rising 58 percent between the last quarters of 2016 and 2017 and nearly 50 percent between March of 2017 and March of 2018. Hamm credited DAPL with enabling a nearly $5 per barrel reduction in Continental's overall cost of oil it produces. A net income loss of $400 million in 2016 rose to a $789 million gain in 2017; stock value skyrocketed. Then, in January of 2018, Hamm personally donated $500,000 to Trump-backed super PAC America First Action.
