Revisions to North Dakota abortion laws advance for Senate vote
The Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously approved amendments to the bill

BISMARCK — Proposed revisions to North Dakota's abortion laws are poised for a state Senate vote, but not with all the changes physicians urged a panel of lawmakers to consider.
The Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, Jan. 25, unanimously approved amendments to Senate Bill 2150, brought by Sen. Janne Myrdal, R-Edinburg, and gave the bill a 5-1 "do pass" recommendation.
The bill now goes to the Republican-controlled Senate for a vote, the first hurdle for the bill brought in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court overturning the constitutional right to an abortion last year.
Myrdal has said the bill is to clear up language between the state's 2007 abortion trigger ban and 2013 "heartbeat bill." The latter bans abortions as soon as a fetal heartbeat is detected — as early as six weeks — "except when a medical emergency exists that prevents compliance" with the law.
The Red River Women's Clinic, North Dakota's sole abortion provider, moved from Fargo to Moorhead, Minnesota, in the wake of the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision last June that triggered North Dakota's 2007 law to take effect.
The clinic is challenging the trigger law, which would ban virtually all abortions but for cases of rape, incest and to protect the life of the mother. The state Supreme Court will rule soon on a judge's temporary block of the trigger ban.
Under the ban, doctors could be charged with a Class C felony for performing an abortion during medical emergencies and in cases of rape or incest, but they could argue in court that the affirmative defenses for rape, incest and protection of the life of a mother outlined in the law protect them from criminal liability.
The bill would change the ban's affirmative defenses into exceptions, which supporters say would take the legal burden off medical providers.
The bill would allow for abortions for rape and incest only before six weeks gestation. It also would allow for treatment of ectopic pregnancies, a dangerous, nonviable scenario in which a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus.
Physicians last week told the Senate panel of devastating pregnancy complications, and requested amendments they'd like to see for broader exceptions.
North Dakota Catholic Conference Executive Director and General Counsel Christopher Dodson presented the amendments to the Senate panel.
The amended bill took out language that doctors urged be removed, related to "substantial and irreversible physical impairment of a major bodily function" in the definition of a medical emergency. The Senate panel removed "and irreversible," a change lauded by North Dakota Medical Association Executive Director Courtney Koebele.
But the panel didn't extend the bill's limit on six weeks gestation for abortions in cases of rape and incest, as physicians had requested. Many women don't know they're pregnant at that point in time.
Last week, Myrdal said that request and one for an exception for abortions for lethal fetal anomalies "are nonnegotiable for me as the sponsor of the bill."

Sony IMX989: A Gigantic Smartphone Camera Sensor
By Hubert Nguyen, on 06/29/2022 15:55 PDT
The upcoming Xiaomi 12S Ultra will feature a primary camera powered by the 1-inch type Sony IMX989 camera sensor. Previously, the Sony Xperia PRO-I smartphone and a few others also featured a sensor of similar size. Still, the IMX989 is a new sensor "built for smartphones," and Xiaomi had some design inputs (including financial) according to the Chinese OEM.
We recently named the Xiaomi 12 Pro as one of the best camera-phone of 2022, so you should pay attention to the brand's upcoming "camera-first" phone.
Previously, the Xperia PRO-I employed a derivative of the 1-inch sensor initially designed for the formidable Sony RX100 VII compact camera. Also, the Xperia PRO-I doesn't fully utilize the sensor surface (probably because of the optics size and depth limitation). Unfortunately, it defies the point of having a large sensor if you're using only 12MP instead of the full 24MP.
Sure, the effective 12MP has great pixel size and overall sensor features, but from a semiconductor point of view, a lot of chip die area (and therefore money) is wasted.
And that's precisely why mobile camera sensor sizes have somewhat stagnated in the past year, after a few years of rapid growth. Despite most marketing claims of "software prowess, "many photographic performance improvements have been driven by camera hardware escalation. That's precisely why we measure it with our CAMERA HW benchmark.
It's not to say that software is not essential (it is), but the obvious reason why OEMs keep upgrading the camera hardware is that software can only improve image quality so much. Even Google had to make a colossal camera upgrade in the Pixel 6 to stay competitive despite a reputation for having the best image processing.
Xiaomi is said to have found a way to use the whole sensing surface, perhaps with a redesign of the optics, but we would need further explanations. That's a simple physical limitation that should be easy to describe without revealing secrets. Until then, I'll remain skeptical, but I hope it's true.
Now, how is the Sony IMX989 "made for smartphones"? Without the detailed specifications, it's hard to say. It might have to do with features expected on mobiles and not very common on larger cameras, such as optimized readout timing for stacked photography.
It could also have something to do with the chip's packaging that would be more optimized to fit in a phone. You should not have to care about these details, as long as the camera performs to your liking.
The sensor is 16mm in diagonal, prompting some pundits to be puzzled that it's "not one inch," but that's not how exactly how this works. While people say "one-inch" sensor, they should really say "one-inch type sensor."
The "one-inch" term dates back to the cathode ray tube (CRT) broadcasting days, when broadcasting cameras used a sensing surface within a CRT, and from the outside, the tube's diameter was 1-inch. Inside, the sensing surface's diagonal was about 16mm.
However, the industry stuck with the 1-inch terminology until today. Cined has a great explanation if you want more details, but this is not new at all, and I wrote a size converter between inch and mm specifications for our CAMERA HW benchmark a while back.

A Personal Geography of Injustice
Danny Dorling – 丹尼·道灵 » News » The smaller generation to come – worldwide
The smaller generation to come – worldwide
Here's some good news for the planet: the human population is set to peak and stabilise, not rising much above 9.7 billion, the total that it will reach around the year 2050, according to the latest UN figures. Danny Dorling, Halford Mackinder Professor of Geography at Oxford University, explains how this works, and why it is something to celebrate.
On Monday 17 June 2019 the United Nations revealed momentous news. The world did not notice, but soon it will. The headline of their own report read "9.7 billion on Earth by 2050, but growth rate slowing".
A day earlier the UN projection for the year 2050 had been nearer 9.8 billion, and the projection for 2100 had been 11.2 billion people. Something very significant had occurred.
Some parts still growing, but…
The United Nation's report concentrated on where there will still be the most growth. To quote: "India is expected to show the highest population increase between now and 2050, overtaking China as the world's most populous country, by around 2027. India, along with eight other countries, will make up over half of the estimated population growth between now and 2050. The nine countries expected to show the biggest increase are India, Nigeria and Pakistan, followed by the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Indonesia, Egypt and the United States of America."
But their report continued: "The population size of more and more countries is actually falling. Since 2010, 27 countries or areas have seen a drop of at least one per cent, because of persistently low fertility rates. Between now and 2050, that is expected to expand to 55 countries which will see a population decrease of one per cent or more, and almost half of these will experience a drop of at least 10 per cent."
Bellwether 18-year-olds
The UN did not mention their new 2100 prediction in this particular press release. The first graph below shows the number of people the UN estimate have been (and will be) aged 18 each year from 1950 until 2100. The future they predict is remarkably smooth.
The number of 18 year olds in the world – UN world population prospects estimates, 2019 (millions of people aged 18, 1950 to 2100)
However, some reporters noticed that something was very new: "The world's population is slowing down and could stop growing – or even begin decreasing – by 2100" one noticed, before adding that "…[UN population] division director John Wilmoth said this outcome 'is not certain and in the end the peak could come earlier or later, at a lower or higher level of total population.'"
However, John's central projection for the year 2100 is now 10.9 billion people, 300 million fewer than the UN said they expected, the day before.
Even fewer babies – but longer lives
Human population growth is slowing dramatically and it is slowing because people are having fewer and fewer babies as compared to their parents – everywhere – without exception.
More importantly, they are having fewer than we thought they would have a few years ago when the fertility rates were already reducing dramatically and unprecedentedly. Our species has never – ever – had so few children.
The reason why the total human population of the planet will keep on growing for 50, or 60 or 70 years (but almost certainly not for 80 years) is because people are living longer. It is now no longer because we are having more children.
If people in a particular place live for 80 years rather than 40 (on average), they double the number of people found in that place at any one time without a single additional baby needing to be born.
The human species is ageing – rapidly. More rapidly than we thought it was by Monday 17 June 2019! And this is wonderful news because it is caused by fewer people dying when young and healthcare for the elderly improving.
Tell-tale peaks for 18-year-olds
The next graph below shows the annual change in the number of 18-year-olds now predicted to occur each year and the number that did occur each year in the last 68 years. The peaks in the graph below occurred in 1955, 1970, 1985 and 2005, with the next predicted to be in 2025. The length of time between these peaks in years is 15, 15, 20 and 20.
The number of 18 year olds in the world – UN world population prospects estimates, 2019 (annual change in millions of people aged 18, 1950 to 2100)
It is the trend in the corrections to the UN revisions that matters most. In the 2011 estimates the UN demographers suggested that 10 billion was most likely by 2100. The subsequent 2013, 2015 and 2017 revisions updated that estimate to just over 11 billion. But now the 2019 revision is reducing that estimate again.
Six years ago, on 11 June 2013, I published a book titled Population 10 billion in which I made a guess that the UN were getting it wrong. It was just a guess, but it turned out to be right. The reason they were making this mistake, I said, is that they had failed to notice an echo of a baby boom. They were using very current fertility estimates to project forwards, unaware that fertility at the start of this current century was slightly and unusually elevated – due to so many people turning 18 around the year 2005.
(Non-robotic) implications for smaller generations
The slowdown in the growth and then the fall to come in young adults worldwide raises all kinds of issues. In general, smaller generations have been more powerful generations in the past. Their bargaining position is better. Each child becomes more precious.
But in strange times like these, people begin to try to imagine all kinds of new scenarios. However, "artificial intelligent" robots are not going to replace the young. The reason why is simple. We are an animal, evolved to be acutely aware of just how much attention we are or are not getting from others of our species. That is how for millennia those of us that survived, survived. We were cared for, and cared for our young. Most of us are acutely aware of even the smallest slight we receive, the mildest of ignoring. Most of us warm with happiness when we are praised by those we love. Emulating humans to fool other humans with machines is a fools' game because it is trying to compete with what drove our evolution. Instead, robots are best used to undertake repetitive tasks that our inquisitive nature hates.
Predictions in a precarious world
What is likely to happen next? Look again at the graph above of the future change in the number of 18-year-olds predicted to carry through to the year 2100. Note how the UN prophesies a rapid move towards stability. To achieve that, every 18-year-old has to have slightly more than two children each (because a few babies will still die even in the most utopian of futures).
But then look at what has happened most recently. Look at the falls between 2007 and 2013 in the graph above and note how that plummeting below the line almost exactly fits the gap that can be seen in the time series between 1991 and 1996, around 17 years earlier.
Young adults in future are unlikely to conform to what the UN demographers currently predict. If we manage to avoid world war, famine, pandemic and severe prolonged global economic crisis, then young people will continue to have fewer and fewer children each – for some time to come. It is what women want. And more and more women now get what they want.
Change in change
Finally, if you find it hard to believe that the finest demographic minds the world can muster might still be making a mistake, even though they now are at least moving their predictions down toward what reality is telling them, look at the last graph in this series of three, below. The graph shows the "change in change" each year in 18-year-olds.
This is just one change figure subtracted from another. To give an example in 2006, 2007 and 2008 the number of 18-year-olds thought to be alive worldwide on 1 July each year was 125.850, 125.386, and 123.692 million respectively. The change between those three numbers was -0.46 and -1.69 million: the population was falling, and the change in change between those two numbers, the rate of deceleration or acceleration, was -1.23 million – a rapid deceleration (or acceleration in the rate of fall if you want to see it that way).
The final graph below shows all of those "change in change" figures derived from the very latest UN population estimates for the world. Each great deceleration – the troughs in 1955, 1972 and 2007 – has been greater in magnitude than the last.
Now look at what the UN think will happen in future and then start planning for even fewer 18-year-olds than they are now suggesting there will be. Because they are still ignoring this clear downwards trend.

Richard: Thanks for your time Doug.
All this said, festivals of 2013 are a far cry from the chaos of upstate New York in 1969. For all the great music, much of the spontaneity is gone. Corporate sponsors have invaded the tranquility. Heineken, Play Station, Red Bull and H&M hand over millions and provide big chunks of the festival revenue. Grounds are carefully manicured, schedules are tightly adhered to on stages with the highest of high tech sound systems. When the last note is struck tonight, preparations will be underway for next year. Despite this loss of the extemporaneous, Coachella remains the big concert draw and one of the great social gatherings of Southern California.
But are there perhaps some chinks appearing in this impregnable suit of armor? In a late January 2013 interview, Los Angeles Huff Post music editor Sasha Bronner spoke of fan disenchantment with the announced upcoming festival lineup. Apparently the swirling rumor was that it would be The Rolling Stones that would be the Friday night opening weekend headliner. It seems a great oxymoron the power and aura the "old" still commands. After all, the new is supposed to push aside the old, isn't it? The collective yawn was loud as The Red Hot Chile Peppers captured a top billing for a third return visit. Really, again…..that's the best they can do. Stone Roses were clearly the wrong "stones" and greeted with equal ambivalence. Despite the grumbling, Coachella was a sellout as usual. I wonder why some bigger top names didn't make the docket call this year. Were negotiations held up over pecuniary considerations? Is Coachella starting to lose a tiny edge to other festivals? The festival concept has traveled around the world with lots of intermittent stops to be where it is today. It's best not to let a little hubris be your downfall.


A police pursuit and vehicle crash in Ventura Monday afternoon slowed traffic in both directions on Highway 101 for a time.
A police pursuit in Ventura ended with a vehicle accident on Valentine Road Monday afternoon that slowed traffic on Highway 101 for a time after two teenage suspects ran across the freeway.
The incident unfolded after 2:05 p.m. when a patrol officer spotted a suspicious vehicle with several people inside near Valentine Road and Sperry Avenue, according to the Ventura Police Department. The intersection is on the south side of Highway 101, near Ivy Lawn Memorial Park and an adjacent business and industrial area.
A check of the vehicle's license plate showed it had been reported stolen out of Ventura, said police Cmdr. Tom Higgins. After backup units arrived, officers tried to pull over the vehicle, but it fled, launching the pursuit, officials said.
The pursuit continued in the same general area, with the driver at times reaching speeds up to 50 mph and running a stop sign and a red light, according to police.
While the vehicle was heading north on Knoll Drive, officers deployed a spike strip. The driver avoided the strip and ran a stop sign at Valentine, crashing into another vehicle traveling east through the intersection, authorities said. The stolen vehicle caught fire.
Two passengers from the stolen vehicle fled on foot across southbound and northbound lanes of Highway 101, Higgins said.
Officers gave chase and ultimately caught the two, who had jumped into a water culvert on the north side of the freeway near the Golf N' Stuff, Higgins said. City firefighters helped retrieve the pair from the culvert. Both were 15-year-old males who were arrested on suspicion of resisting arrest.
At the crash site, police detained the driver, a 15-year-old male, and a male and female passenger, both also 15, officials said.
The driver was arrested on suspicion of felony evading arrest and on a stolen vehicle offense, Higgins said. The passengers were released to their parents.
The driver and passenger in the other vehicle were taken by ambulance to Ventura County Medical Center with minor injuries, officials said. Their vehicle suffered major damage. The intersection was closed for an hour-and-a-half as police investigated.


Calculation and prediction of hydrodynamic properties of biological and synthetic macromolecules using computational methodologies is a technique that has experimented a great advance in the last decades. But most of the hydrodynamics software where designed decades ago and it is rather complex to use for less computer experienced users. With this objective in mind we have developed HYDROWEB, a tool that easily allows to work with hydrodynamic models of macromolecules and the calculation of their properties and convenient visualization of its results.

BIAFRA: NIGERIA IS A FAILED STATE; BIAFRA IS THE ONLY SOLUTION
By Sunday Okafor
Nigeria existence since it's creation by the British colonial masters has failed to develop to true nationhood. It has metamorphosed to a sectional country where the northern region has continued to intimidate and subjugate other region's aspiration and development. This, was made possible through the unalloyed support of the British government who are doing everything possible to maintain their colony.
56 years down the lane, since the end of the Civil War, the country is still struggling to move ahead, with the same challenges and issues that led to the Civil War being repeated by the government of the day. The people of Biafra comprising the ancient people of Igala, Ibibio, Isoko, Igbos, Ijaw, Ogoni and others are still treated as slaves and second class citizens in a supposed country they are part of. Ranging from denial of certain important political positions to exclusion from developmental projects, Fulani herdsmen ravaging communities and villages; destroying farm land, killing and raping the innocent of the land.
The administration of President Muhammadu Buhari whose return to democracy in 2015 through a controversial election has brazenly exhibited hatred and exclusion of Biafrans. He has on many occasions ordered the security agents to clamp down on anyone or group who are speaking up against the tyrannical actions of his government. The "change" mantra of his party has turned to chains leaving the people to languish in agony and pains. The Nigerian Army, on many occasions shot scores of unarmed Biafran youths as reported by the Amnesty International for the world to see.
In the heat of these acts of intimidation, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), through her leader Nnamdi Kanu have been crying out to the international community to support the independence of Biafra nation as enshrined in article 9 of the UN Charter of Indigenous People which gives the people right to seek freedom from any oppressive government. Biafrans hereby call the attention of the world government to ask the Nigerian government to fix a date for referendum for Biafrans to peacefully exist as a sovereign nation.
Freedom for Biafra will bring an end to all these inhumane treatments meted on Biafrans by the Nigerian government. It will ensure Biafrans build a nation that will value the welfare of the people and build also civilized nation Africa will be proud of through it's human and natural resources.
#NO MORE ELECTIONS IN BIAFRA LAND UNTIL A DATE FOR REFERENDUM IS GIVEN.

Impossible legal definition of impossible
https://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/impossible
(redirected from impossible)
A legal excuse or defense to an action for the breach of a contract; less frequently, a defense to a criminal charge of an attempted crime, such as attempted Robbery or murder.
Historically, a person who entered a contract was bound to perform according to his or her promised duties, regardless of whether it became impossible to do so. Thus, early U.S. courts did not recognize the defense of impossibility of performance. Courts noted that if the parties to a contract had desired to take into account any events that may develop after they reached an agreement, then they should have accounted for such contingencies in the contract.
As contract law developed over the twentieth century—and in response to increasing commercial activities—courts began to recognize impossibility as a valid defense to an action for breach of a contract. This defense did not normally apply if one party found it unexpectedly difficult or expensive to perform according to the contract; rather, it applied only when the basis or subject matter of the contract was destroyed or no longer existed. In addition, the defense of impossibility became available only if objective impossibility existed. Objective impossibility occurred when the contractual obligation could not actually be performed. Objective impossibility is often referred to by the statement "The thing cannot be done." For example, if a musician promised to play a concert at a specific concert hall but the concert hall subsequently burned down, it would be impossible to perform according to the contractual agreement and the musician would be excused from performing at that particular venue. Subjective impossibility exists when only one of the parties to a contract subjectively believes that she or he cannot complete the required performance. For example, if a musician believed that he had not practiced sufficiently to perform a successful concert, this belief would not excuse the musician from performing the concert. The statement "I cannot do it" frequently refers to the state of mind present in a case involving subjective impossibility.
Modern U.S. law uses the term impracticability synonymously with the term impossibility, primarily because some things may not be absolutely impossible to perform but are nevertheless impracticable to complete. Thus, the general rule is that a thing may be impossible to perform when it would not be practicable to perform. A contractual obligation is impracticable "when it can only be done at an excessive and unreasonable cost" (Transatlantic Financing Corp. v. United States, 363 F.2d 312 [D.C. Cir. 1966]).
When a party raises the defense of impracticability, courts generally determine three things: first, whether something unexpected occurred after the parties entered the contract; second, whether the parties had assumed that this thing would not occur; and third, that the unexpected occurrence made performance of the contract impracticable. Some widely recognized occurrences that would normally provide a defense of impracticability are the death or illness of one of the necessary parties, the unfore-seeable destruction of the subject matter of the contract (perhaps by an "act of God"), or a supervening illegality.Impossibility has been used as a defense to charges of attempted crimes. Historically, courts recognized that a party could not be convicted of criminal attempt if the actual crime was legally impossible to accomplish. For example, if a person was accused of attempting to receive stolen property but the property was not actually stolen, the defense of legal impossibility could arise. Legal impossibility is distinguished from factual impossibility, where facts unknown to the person attempting to commit a crime render the crime factually impossible to complete. For example, if a pickpocket attempts to steal a wallet but no wallet is present, factual impossibility may exist. Courts generally have recognized legal impossibility as a defense to a criminal attempt, but not factual impossibility. They reasoned that since a person attempting to commit a crime had formed the required intent to commit the crime, it was irrelevant that the crime was factually impossible to complete.
Impossibility as a defense to a criminal attempt has largely been rejected by modern U.S. statutes and courts. The Model Penal Code—which many states have adopted since its introduction in 1962—expressly rejects impossibility as a defense to the charge of criminal attempt (§ 5.01 [1995]).

Q: FileHandler.level not overriding the global level I'm using jdk logging and i've the below in the logging.properties:
handlers= java.util.logging.FileHandler
.level= INFO

java.util.logging.FileHandler.level = FINEST
java.util.logging.FileHandler.pattern = log/soap_%g.log
java.util.logging.FileHandler.limit = 50000
java.util.logging.FileHandler.count = 1
java.util.logging.FileHandler.formatter = java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter

# Limit the message that are printed on the console to INFO and above.
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level = FINEST
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter = java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter

############################################################
# Facility specific properties.
# Provides extra control for each logger.
############################################################

# For example, set the com.xyz.foo logger to only log SEVERE
# messages:
com.pvm.ccd.service.client=FINEST
com.pvm.ccd.service.client.handler=FINEST
com.pvm.ccd.service.client.util=FINEST

The log file soap_0.log and lck file are getting created , however, I don't see any log.fine(msg) entries in the log file. Since I've set the FileHandler level to FINEST, it should override the global INFO level, shouldn't it?
I'm java 1.6 u15. What am I doing wrong?
I've posted the question here as well.

A: From the LogManager documentation:

All properties whose names end with ".level" are assumed to define log levels for Loggers. Thus "foo.level" defines a log level for the logger called "foo" and (recursively) for any of its children in the naming hierarchy.

The following lines are incorrect:
com.pvm.ccd.service.client=FINEST
com.pvm.ccd.service.client.handler=FINEST
com.pvm.ccd.service.client.util=FINEST
To set the level of the logger it needs to be:
com.pvm.ccd.service.client.level=FINEST

Graham urged Trump to have China assassinate North Korean leader: Book
Wed Sep 12, 2018 08:35AM [Updated: Wed Sep 12, 2018 09:31AM ]
This photo taken on June 11, 2018, shows North Korean leader Kim Jong-un (R) and US President Donald Trump.
US Senator Lindsey Graham once urged President Donald Trump to encourage the Chinese government to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and replace him with a military general they could control, according to an explosive new book.
Graham, Republican of South Carolina, pitched the plot to Trump during a national security meeting at the White House in September last year, veteran journalist Bob Woodward reveals in his book, Fear: Trump in the White House, which was released on Tuesday.
The national security meeting was also attended by former national security adviser HR McMaster and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis.
"China needs to kill him and replace him with a North Korean general they control," Graham said at the time, according to Woodward.

"I think the Chinese are clearly the key here and they need to take him out. Not us, them. And control the nuclear inventory there. And wind this thing down. Or control him. To stop the march to a big nuclear arsenal. My fear is that he will sell it," the senator added.
At the time, tensions were running particularly high with North Korea, which was testing intercontinental ballistic missiles. President Trump had vowed to "totally destroy" the country if it ever threatened the United States.

Graham also reportedly pleaded with Trump to take a more hawkish stance on international issues, including a stronger military presence in Afghanistan.
"Do you want on your resume that you allowed Afghanistan to go back into the darkness and the second 9/11 came from the very place the first 9/11 did?" the senator asked the president, according to the book.
Trump reportedly asked Graham, "How does this end?" to which the senator responded, "It never ends."
Woodward's blockbuster book has rocked the White House. It depicts an administration driven by dysfunction, where staffers work to subvert the president and protect the country from his worst inclinations.
The book also reveals that Trump had drafted a tweet that would have been interpreted as a declaration of war by the North Korans. The tweet, which was never sent, said Washington was pulling out military dependents from South Korea.
The US has been engaged in diplomacy with Pyongyang after a summit between Trump and Kim in June, but with little progress.
Washington is, meanwhile, coordinating a second meeting as the US president has received what the White House described as a "very warm, very positive letter" from the North Korean leader.

On this Memorial Day, I'm taking a breather from my intensive writing schedule to post a long-overdue mini-review of the book Suspect by Robert Crais.
An LAPD cop survives a shooting that leaves his partner dead, and hunts for the killers while suffering from debilitating PTSD. That makes for some gripping, suspenseful drama.
Said cop chooses a K-9 dog as his next partner, a military dog also suffering from PTSD, after watching her handler get blown up by an IED in Iraq. That makes for heart wrenching, gripping, suspenseful drama.
Officer Scott James is the tough, stoic, determined protagonist, haunted day and night by the final words uttered by his dying partner. His grief and need for justice propel him through the sleepless nights, the chronic pain, his state of disgrace within his organization, and the apparent lack of leads in the case.
USMC German Shepherd Maggie is a dog with "a problem" as one of the K-9 Platoon trainers points out. She reacts violently to sudden noises, is prone to aggression, and has a limp that Scott desperately tries to hide from the K-9 leader. Scott is instantly drawn to and rescues Maggie, knowing that she needs him, and even more importantly, he needs her.
Reading Maggie's journey made me remember my pit bull Piper, bless her heart, and really appreciate even more how our every move and every mood means the world to these dogs.
The plot is pretty straightforward and clips along at a nice pace, and then I got to the part where things are heating up I was like "Crap! What's going on? What's going to happen next?" I hit this point while I was on my lunch break, and ended up getting back to work late because I couldn't stop reading.
There is a touch of romance in the book, too, as Officer James struggles with whether he can confide in and trust a female detective on the investigation. I love a little bit of romance in just about everything.
The main love story, however, is between Scott James and Maggie. A man and his dog. What's not to love about that?


You can taste your way from the West Coast to the East on food tours offered in large American cities. You not only get a culinary sampling of each region; you'll also get acquainted with the background and culture of various cities and their neighborhoods. An experienced guide offers running commentary; and on most tours, you reap the knowledge of chefs, restaurateurs and the owners of specialty food shops.
The So Diego Restaurant Hop offers a night on the town in San Diego. This tour stops at three downtown restaurants, each one serving three food samples plus a drink. You meet the manager or chef in every establishment, and there's live entertainment at one of the stops. The restaurants on the tour change, but you're sure to get a mix of international cuisine from empanadas to escargots. In 2010, tours cost $60; reservations are required. Tours start at various locations. If you like the downtown tour, you can also join So Diego's restaurant hops in the neighborhoods of North Park and Little Italy, as well as in La Jolla, north of the city.
In the South, you'll get a good sampling of local foods on Savannah's Walking Foody Tour. The tour winds its way through the city's historic district, visiting several restaurants and specialty food shops. One popular stop is The Lady & Sons, a restaurant owned by food guru Paula Deen and her family. On the tour, the food proprietors explain the history and ingredients of various Southern dishes--think fried chicken, collard greens and homemade bread pudding. In 2010, tours cost $43; reservations are required. Tours start at Wright Square Cafe, 21 W. York St.
On the East Coast, Washington Walks offers a different kind of food outing. Rather than giving samples of prepared foods, its Moveable Feast tour takes you to specialty food shops and lets you buy what interests you. The tour goes from upscale (Cowgirl Creamery, featuring fine cheeses) to down home (Ben's Chili Bowl, the one stop where you can sit and eat). You learn the history of the food and drink as you go--for instance, Teaism, a cafe and shop, is based on "The Book of Tea" from early 20th-century Japan. Tours take place from April through October; in 2010, tickets cost $20 (cost of food isn't included). Reservations aren't required, but if you want, you can pay ahead of time; call 800-979-3370. Tours begin at the Archives-Navy Memorial subway station.

That's exceptional, Bob - the terrific detail set into a fine composition with repeating lines, angles, and geometries. Well spotted and well organized into the frame.
Thank you, minniev. I do appreciate your comments.
Thank you very much, Matt and St3v3. This one, unfortunately, went the way of most old buildings. it was removed to expand the property owned by the local power company.
While out yesterday came across this unique individual and since it has been a long while I had to capture her before it was too late.
And Steve should be heading home.

In Corrie Williamson's The River Where You Forgot My Name, a poet wanders through her world, straddling distance and time, uncovering curious bits of nineteenth century history, and observing natural and human landscapes. As she does, the sadness of remnants and the loneliness of whales, among other things, preoccupy her. With these poems, Williamson delivers us to her pervasively pensive mood, like a longing that will ever be unfulfilled.
The book's sections are labeled by place and move between past and present: Virginia, 1804-1808; Montana; St Louis, Missouri, 1808-1818. It concludes, solemnly, with "A Prayer in Closing." The book's preamble poem, "Hay Cutting, Fincastle, Virginia 1803" imagines a prosaic event, where "the reapers gather / at the edges of the grass" and finishes with this visually stirring couplet:
their scythes like a flock of steel
birds released from the field.
Many of the poems reflect on correspondences and legends of the Lewis and Clark Expeditions (1804 to 1806). Many are subtitled with date and place (as in, "On the Death of Meriwether Lewis, Saint Louis, 1810"). In endnotes, Williamson explains:
The poems in this book set in the early nineteenth century are written in a voice I have imagined for the real-life person of Julia Hancock, born in 1791 in Fincastle, Virginia (where I was also born and raised), who was married to William Clark at age sixteen.
In these poems, we track the deep connections Williamson is able to make with this piece of history. The title poem refers to a river that William Clark named "Judith River" after his young wife despite the fact that no one but her father ever called her by this given name. Williamson digs right in to find the pathos held in this historic footnote:
the darkness where
the beast was born
flows the river where you
forgot my name, gifting
it to the girl only a father
ever summoned as "Judith."
Forgivable, like most sins
of omission, for a man
who knew only
the obedient child
Williamson's poetic talents are embodied in her lush and explicit language. She dissects language brilliantly, but in a playful way: pairing "ominous" with "omen-ous," imagining a future where "de-extincting" is possible, noticing that "Hide is flesh & also / my first instinct," and musing that "yarrow . . . weaves together yesterday and tomorrow."
She is also a dazzling storyteller, as in "Bread Alone" where one baker asks another for a pinch of his starter culture and is denied lovingly by his friend who says "ask me for sugar, for flour, for honey brewed by bees from high mountain meadows" but not the starter, because,
…no, he cannot give them a bit of the
batter that dwells in a plastic bucket by his rusty ovens, birthed 150
years ago in the windy darkness of a kitchen in Great Falls at the
hands of a Scotch sheepherder plying yeast with water, with wheat
that bloomed & died in the surrounding plains, risen from the wild,
the dough a thing with breath, souring into a richness …
In the short poem, "Science Lesson, Fincastle, Virginia: 1805," (which was selected as a broadside by Broadsided Press), Williamson gives us this enigmatic and gorgeous detail, "violet as a turnip in a tin bucket," and ponders how emotion and myth easily can overtake scientific knowns:
What a little fool to think the moon
free & unheeled, to assume she visits
of her own volition, dons her dark
tunic & turns her back upon her
particular mood.
The compassion in these poems is coupled with far-reaching wisdom, demonstrating Williamson's ability to embrace the earth and its creatures as they were in the past, as they are now, and what may portend for all of our futures. In "52 Hertz, a letter to Shea in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina," she ponders "the whale known as the loneliest leviathan on earth" and says, "I can hardly stand to think of it—that solitary keen in the ocean's dusk." But drawing on her sense of the inexpressible, the ineffable, she adds, "Have you considered the possibility the whale is singing into silence, into a trembling in his own bones?"
The Broadsided Poem in the Book:
"Science Lesson, Fincastle, Virginia: 1805," words by Corrie Williamson with art by Millian Giang Pham (published October 1, 2018)
4 Questions from Broadsided; 4 Answers from Corrie Williamson
Bsided: Many of the poems in The River Where You Forgot My Name are written in the persona of Julia Clark. How did you first become interested in the Julia Clark figure?
Williamson: Well, I became interested in the Lewis and Clark Expedition as a very young person growing up in southwestern Virginia, an area saturated in their history. I don't remember quite when I first latched on to Julia…. I think, alongside the narrative of the expedition, she's been in my awareness for a long time. Part of the claim to fame of my little hometown of Fincastle is that the Hancock family lived there. Clark had this place very much on his radar shortly before and immediately after the expedition, when he returned there on a mission to marry the much younger Julia and take her west with him. Once I moved to Montana and was even more immersed in that Lewis and Clark narrative and the idea of the development and "opening" of the American west, I found myself working in my poems to better understand and to challenge it, to reveal and address some of its darknesses, and Julia called to me from the shadows.
Bsided: In your acknowledgments you describe this book as a "haunted project." Can you say a bit more about that?
Willliamson: This book was a reckoning and a maturation for me. I confronted and struggled with many of my own biases and naiveties in writing it… and my place in the bigger story. And of course the book is full of ghosts—imagined and historic, animal and human and machine—that I felt dogging me and demanding my attention during the five or so years I worked on these poems. Lisa Russ Spaar, a former teacher of mine and wonderful writer and critic, suggested that in second books "we see poets more consciously acknowledging and wielding their obsessions," and that rings true to me here. And by definition, obsessions are a form of haunting, aren't they?
Bsided: You seem to be able to tread the road between pathological fear of development (as in your poem, "Still Life with Copper Creek & the Unabomber") and the dangerous path of overdevelopment (as in the poem, "April & the Iron Eaters: Berkeley Pit: Butte"). Given both points of view, could I ask what you make of our future as a species?
Williamson: I fluctuate between horror and hope. The book focuses on exploring the impacts of our immense greed-hunger and our blindness to it, and that makes for some dark subject matter. But poems tend to be the way I explore such things, and my own outlook is at least marginally more optimistic. I have taught freshman composition at several colleges for the last decade, and I have noticed, in the past year or two, such a pronounced uptick in students writing about issues like climate change, damage to our oceans, the fires in the Amazon, endangered species, implementing a compost program at the college, etc., all of which gives me much hope. For the last year, I've also worked as an educator in Yellowstone National Park, which is emblematic of so many of the ways we've changed our behaviors and perspectives and found more scientific and productive ways to treat the land and our fellow beings. Of course, some of those ongoing struggles are more vivid here, as well. I don't think greed and exploitation and narrow-minded destruction are going away; I can only hope there are visions and voices that see the impact of those forces and can help us move away from them. And that there is still time for such things.
Bsided: "Science Lesson" has a winsome voice, yet asks a serious question about mythmaking as the persona, Julia, feels foolish for holding on to her own myths about the moon. Do you recall a similar moment in your life when you had to leave behind a myth in order to accept the science?
Williamson: Oh, what a wonderful question! I think our whole lives, if we're paying attention, are something of a shedding and accumulating of myth. We abandon myths we as we grow and learn, I think; many are about fairness and freedom and our own power, as Julia recognizes in the poem. In some sense, this book documents my own reconciliation with shedding off of the Great Myth of the West, of ownership and development as inherently good and necessary. I think we've all been taught the most powerful myth of all: that we can behave anthropocentrically in the Anthropocene indefinitely. That, too, is a vast myth at which the book hopes to chip away.

Vive Wireless worked last weekend but this weekend...Nope.
I got my wireless adapter last week, set it up quite easily and started playing fallout 4, surprisingly without any jitter. It was smooth, except for a small drop in quality about an hour in for about a second. I came away feeling relieved that it seemed to be working on my system after all the stories I'd been reading. I was pretty excited to get back into it, but it wouldn't be til this weekend.
So this weekend came around, I booted it up and went into fallout 4...Now I have constant jitter. It's unplayable. I've tried the 3 different channels on the wireless app, I even ended up doing a fresh install of windows (I wanted to do one any way...) I can't imagine what the issue could be? I hadn't changed a single thing on my system since the week before. I am not using the beta branch of steam vr either.
I'm in the process of trying different PCI lanes........ even though it was working fine last week. No luck yet.


Jane awakens in the hospital unsure of how she got there. Her family tells her she was the victim of a hit and run accident - or was it a suicide attempt? Jane remembers going to a party with her two best friends the night before but not much else after they arrived. Her room is filled with flowers including several gifts from a secret admirer all of which include a sinister promise that they will meet soon and finish what they started. Jane is sure she wasn't trying to kill herself and begins to believe that someone was purposefully trying to kill her, especially after she receives a threatening phone call. The problem is, no one else believes her since no one else heard the phone ring. Is Jane going crazy or is someone actually stalking her? And if she's not losing her mind, which of her trusted friends is the killer? This is a book that made me wake up early because I couldn't wait to read to the end to find out what was going on. A really enjoyable read!

I'm delighted with my recent discovery of Buzz Killer Espresso. I have a really hard time hosting a writing group in Wicker Park because their good coffee shops are all overcrowded and their livingroomy settings make it cozy for a chat but a nightmare to type on a laptop for hours in comfort.
Finally, however, here is a spacious cafe with ample tables and electrical outlets, indoor and outdoor seating, great natural light from windows and skylights, and pretty great quality coffee and tea.
Their motto is Life Support for Coffee Geeks and they claim to have the finest, most exotic and esoteric beans in the world. They roast micro-lot coffees sourced directly from origin and from specialty brokers, and serve with care, knowledge and precision. You should come and check all this out, then take your beverage out to the sidewalk patios and people-watch.
If you want, however, to set up camp here all day and work, I do have to warn you that the coffee is not bottomless and the wi-fi is timed (code given after a purchase) so it can get expensive fast, but the few hours we spent here were a delight.
My writers were happy with the quality of both the coffee and the tea (I had a dirty chai, so I can also vouch for both), their pastries are from Vanille, the level of noise and the music allowed us to work and have a conversation pleasantly, and the temperature of the room wasn't arctic or sweltering, so all around we were quite pleased for our chance to have a Wicker Park haunt, at last.

My guest this week is Jay Klein, CEO of PUR Gum. While it might seem unusual to have a CEO of a gum company on LinkedConversations, this is actually the first of several interviews surrounding the Natural Products Expo that starts at the end of this week in Anaheim, CA. I am always interested in talking to executives about how they use social media to promote their businesses.
This interview definitely fits the bill. Jay shares not only the PUR Gum story, but how the company uses social media to promote their busienss and interact with customers – and potential customers.
