Lakeland Police Officer Colton Thompson said in an arrest affidavit that he made contact with Brien Basarich, 31, at her home on Wednesday.

In those posts, Basarich reportedly stated that she had homicidal urges and that she planned to purchase an AR-15 "soonish." She also reportedly described having a "vision" of a bar or club with one way in and one way out, and that 2019 had a lot in store if her plans went smoothly.

January 7, 2019

Dr Alex Ball, WildGenes programme manager, said: “It was a surprise for us to find trinkets made from woolly mammoth ivory in circulation, especially so early into our testing and in a tropical country like Cambodia.“It is very hard to say what the implications of this finding are for existing elephant populations, however we plan to continue our research and will use genetics to work out where it has come from.”

Chinese Moon Rover Making Tracks on Lunar Far Side…
January 7, 2019
On Wednesday night (Jan. 2), the Chang'e 4 rover and its stationary-lander companion pulled off the first-ever soft touchdown on the lunar far side, coming to a rest inside the 115-mile-wide (186 kilometers) Von Kármán Crater.
The six-wheeled rover, known as Yutu 2, isn't pausing to catch its breath, as a newly released photo shows. Yutu 2 has already put a fair bit of space between itself and the lander, trundling over near the rim of a small crater on the floor of Von Kármán, which itself lies within an even larger impact feature — the 1,550-mile-wide (2,500 km) South Pole-Aitken Basin.
