GROVELAND, Calif. -- As crews advanced against a giant wildfire around Yosemite National Park, fire commanders said they would maintain use of a Predator drone to give them early views of any new flare-ups across in the remote and rugged landscape.

The Rim Fire started Aug. 17 and quickly exploded in size, becoming one of the 10 largest California wildfires on record. Its progression slowed earlier this week when it moved from parts of the forest with thick underbrush that had not burned in nearly a century to areas that had seen fire in the past two decades.

But it will burn for months, possibly until California's dry season ends this fall.

"My prediction is it will burn until we see rain," said Hugh Safford, a regional ecologist with the U.S. Forest Service.

The Paris prosecutor’s office launched a probe on July 16 into the US spy agency’s illegal access to personal email and phone communications of French citizens following a legal complaint by the International Federation of Human Rights (FIDH) and the League of Human Rights (LDH), according to AFP.

The complaint filed by the groups also targets giant tech companies like Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Paltak, Facebook, YouTube, Skype, AOL and Apple. The purpose is to reveal if they have provided the NSA and the FBI with access to their servers, said Emmanuel Daoud, a lawyer for the two groups.

Status Update

By Nicolya Christi

 

We are living in an unprecedented, accelerated and evolutionary Window of Time.

One which requires us to consciously express pure love and deep truth in the world.

We are called upon to pour the quintessence of Love, Vision and Light into the very

foundation stones upon which we are building the new Golden Age we are now entering.

We are called upon to be fearless, visionary and transparent, to act only with integrity,

to follow our hearts, to live our deepest truth, to have trust and faith,

 and to surrender to change that is in service of evolutionary transformation.
