Like Wind Against Rock by Nancy Kim
Like Wind Against Rock was my first book by Nancy Kim and I enjoyed it very much. The author did a wonderful job of storytelling. Her writing style was smooth and engaging and I found myself settling into the story very quickly. The characters are all realistic and each has their own story. I enjoyed that you got to know each character intimately so for me the character building was incredible and connected very well. The mother made me laugh out loud more than once because you could just feel that she was coming into her own and I could picture her little antics. They relationship between the mother and daughter felt real and comfortable and I thought the author did a very nice job of pulling it all together with different perspectives and the main secret wasn't shoved down your throat, but instead I felt it was slowly built up to. I really enjoyed this book and while it is not one I would normally choose I am so glad that I did.

The Don by Hazel Storm
The Don, book 1 of Her Three Immortals series by Hazel Storm was a quick read but left me wanting more!
I was not ready for it to end!! I love the multiple point of views from several of the characters.
Vanessa is a hairdresser and loves being able to bring out the inner beauty of her clients. It is what she's good at. But it could also mean competition to others in the beauty industry.
Grey is The Don of the Underworld and is in town on business. Moving in across the street from Vanessa is just a perk.
Raef is Grey's half-brother, a very sexy billionaire that is proving to Vanessa that not all financially successful men are A-holes, or are they?
Vanessa has some issues in her home life and just as these interesting men walk into her life her work life starts to suffer as well.
Can they help her? Is she willing to pay the price?
I can't wait to read the next book in this series!

Mariekkela: From Finland, with Love by Stuart Ledwith
I was immediately drawn to this book as if it called my name. I experience vivid and very real dreams from time-to-time, so the simple involvement of dreaming grabbed me. The pull this book had on me did not stop once it was opened. The author writes with such an intimate style, I feel as though we were in the same room. Being interested in spirituality, dreams, and past lives, I simply devoured this book. Mariekkela: From Finland, with Love by Stuart Ledwith, PhD is an original, historical story that takes the reader back to 1939, in which Mariekkela's Kari is killed by Russian soldiers. The book follows her life after the incident, and is a testament to undying, true love. The author also has a book titled The History of the Universe: As My Soul and I Remember, and I am definitely going to get my hands on that one to fall deeper into this author's world and ideas. I appreciate a read that inspires me to consider new perspectives, or deepens and broadens an existing perspective, and if you have never read anything from this author before, this book is a five star choice.

The Cross of Ciaran by Andrea Matthews
Are you a fan of fantasy, steamy historical romance, and skillfully written flashbacks? Then this book is for you. Right from the start you're on the edge of your seat, not quite believing what you're reading. I am an absolute sucker for this kind of storytelling, it draws an amazing picture of the main character and his struggles throughout the whole book. I wouldn't change anything except that I now want more to read right this minute. Might need to read it twice to relive it all and grasp all the different aspects of this one.

Courage of Us by Brooke May
Courage of Us by Brooke May is book one of the Code of Honor series.
Patience and Duke have been best friends forever. Now they've graduated and Patience is sure nothing will tear them apart. She finally gets the nerve to tell Duke how she feels and things escalate from there. The next morning, Patience's world falls out from under her when she wakes up to find Duke gone. Patience does the only thing she knows how to do and that is to keep moving forward as painful as that is. Seven years later, Patience doesn't even recognize herself but she finally takes the steps to reclaim her life. As an unexpected surprise, Duke is back home and he is looking to make things right with Patience. Will Duke be able to convince Patience to hear him out? Is it too late for them?
I couldn't put this book down! I really enjoyed it! I felt for Patience. She was just making the best out of a situation and it really spiraled out of control for her. I'm glad she was able to stand up for herself because so many people aren't able to.

Kissing Scars by Jim Shomos
This is a new author to me, but I was intrigued by the cover. I picked it up and read the synopsis on the back and decided to give it a read. I'm glad that I did. I think that the writer did a great job with the character development and the world description. It was a fantastic and beautiful read but not a long book at all. I read it in no time. Of course, I also didn't want to put it down. Not only was this a beautifully written romantic comedy, but it also contained quite a bit of drama and emotional turmoil with the typical snags in the way. I look forward to reading more of this authors work. Especially if it's anything like this one.

Patience and Duke have been friends since diapers. They are yin to yang for each other. The challenge is that they don't know they are in love with each other. Once summer after graduation changes everything….fast forward to a few years later and they meet up again. Can the love and friendship be rekindled? I found myself rooting for them. As they face challenges ahead, they don't give up on each other and they just chug along Well-written and very realistic, the author kept this smooth and easy-flowing like a summer river.

Ciaran, a pagan priest from the 5th century, is buried alive for his indiscretions with a woman, seen as a betrayal to the priestess he served. 1500 years later, his body is unearthed, in perfect condition. But when the body disappears and Ciaran awakens in 20th century New York, questions surround the mystery. Well written, wonderfully developed characters. The story is an easy read and I am looking forward to the sequel

The Earl's Scandalous Wager by Wareeze Woodson
In historical romance there are things you expect and there are things that you expect to be glossed over or changed for the genre such as the treatment of women. However, it was very jarring to continuously have the Earl and every other man think about the main character Emily as a possession. As is always the case, I wish there was a longer time between the meeting and the proper relationship starting because it felt very rushed to me that they got married and then the next day Emily was already practically in love with him. Period romances are my favorites and I was very excited to read this book to add another to the ever growing pile but I ended up slightly disappointed because the characters were coarse and at the best of times fickle. The cute and romantic moments were very wonderful and it was super sweet. Overall, a quaint period romance for a quick change of pace for someone.

Julieta and Daniel are friends who have come together to host cooking experiences for travelers. The experience takes place in Julieta's home, where she lives with her husband and two small children (and also occasionally other guests arranged through Julieta's separate homestay program). Julieta is originally from Venezuela and is a trained nutritionist with a passion for home-cooked, well-balanced and healthy food. She is an adventurous cook who likes to blend styles and invent new dishes. She likes to help people enjoy healthy food and avoid food wastage. Daniel is a trained chef and cooking teacher, who has always had an interest in food and enjoyed learning to cook from his grandmother when he was a little boy. Later, he went to culinary school in Canada and worked in several fine-dining restaurants there, only to return back to Mexico to learn more about Mexican and Yucatecan food. Though he can prepare Italian, Japanese and Midwestern food with flair, his true passion has always been authentic Mexican and Yucatecan cuisine using local produce and traditional cooking techniques. Besides his passion for cooking, Daniel also enjoys travel, music and coffee (and he even works as a barista at a coffee shop in the city).
In-home meal: (1-12 guests) Your experience will take place in Julieta's lovely restored Merida home, which is colorful and filled with art throughout their spacious rooms and external courtyard. Her home is easily accessible and conveniently located near the city center. After you get to know each other and your hosts share a bit of background on Mexican cuisine, join Julieta and Daniel in the spacious dining room to enjoy dishes like banana dough empanadas, cactus salad, pollo pibil chicken wrapped in banana leaves (a traditional Mexican slow-roasted dish) or tikin xic (fish marinated in sour orange) and huevos motulenos (eggs on tortillas with black beans and cheese, often served with other ingredients such as ham, plantains and salsa). End your meal with a sweet Mexican dessert which will be served with a selection of coffee or tea.
Cooking experience: (1-12 guests) Daniel offers a two hour hands-on cooking class where you will help to prepare 2-3 traditional Mexican dishes that you will later enjoy at the dining table. First you will prepare guacamole or sikil pak (a delicious traditional pumpkin seed dip) so you have something to snack on as you cook! Later, learn about local ingredients and cooking techniques while you help Daniel prepare a cactus salad, homemade tortillas and pollo pibil (chicken wrapped in banana leaves). The kitchen will be used for the final cooking process and most of the prep work will be done in Julieta's hall or dining room, where the temperature is often much cooler.
Market visit: (1-12 guests) After you meet Daniel and Julieta at home, they will take you to the large Lucas de Galvez market (a 30-minute walk or 10-minute taxi ride away) or the small Mercado Santa Ana, a 7-10 minute walk from Julieta's house. Whichever one you choose, Daniel and Julieta will be happy to walk you around explaining the different local produce available and how it is used in Mexican cooking. After you buy a few ingredients from the market, return back to Julieta's home for your cooking class and meal together.
Notes: Daniel and Julieta can offer vegetarian, vegan, gluten free and kosher meals on request. As Julieta runs a homestay, you may see other guests present in her home during your time there, however your Traveling Spoon experience will be private.
We had the absolute best time with Julieta and Daniel.These two long-time friends couldn't have been more gracious and hospitable. After meeting at Julieta's home, we headed to a local market, where Daniel, a professional chef, took us around to various vendors and thoroughly explained local spices and produce and how they're commonly used in local Yucatan cooking. We selected out our ingredients based on our menu for the night and brought them back to Julieta's home. Over the course of the evening, we cooked a main entree and 3-4 side dishes, all of which were vibrant and flavorful (I think our favorite was the banana dough empanadas stuffed with queso fresco and beans!). Throughout the 2-3 hours we spent cooking, we learned about each ingredient and its uses. We even learned some cooking techniques along the way! Daniel was sure to explain to us what readily available substitutes in the United States we could use to replace local Yucatecan ingredients should we want to make the recipes back at home (which we definitely will!). It was lovely learning more about Daniel and Julieta and their lives and families as well. It really doesn't get much more authentic/local than cooking with these lovely people. If you're in Merida, even if for less than 24 hours like we were, I would highly recommend you take the time to cook with Daniel and Julieta! It was definitely a highlight of our week in the Yucatan.
My husband and I and 3 teenagers saw the market, created our lunch and dined together with Daniel and Julieta, and the whole experience was wonderful and memorable. Daniel is an excellent teacher - though we are all experienced cooks, and the dishes were not complicated, we all still learned something new about ingredients and preparation. Also, it was a pleasure to see that Daniel is clearly (and rightfully) proud of his home town. Julieta is also a warm and lovely host, and our conversations with both of them just added that much more flavor to the meal! If you are considering the experience I would say go ahead, the earlier in your visit the better, as they both offered lots of restaurants and activities for our stay as well!"
What an amazing experience! Daniel and Julieta are the most amazing hosts. We had an incredible trip to Mercado Lucas de Galvez with Daniel and then back to Case Maryposa with Julieta to prepare a delicious Poc Chuc meal. Both Daniel and Julieta are very personable, just great and pleasant people. Daniel, a chef, is incredibly knowledgeable of Yucatacan food and a great, funny, and engaging cooking teacher. Julieta was very friendly and led child care as we prepared food. I couldn't recommend a tour more. This is such an amazing way to get to know the food and dishes locally available.
Daniel and Julieta were delightful, warm and welcoming; the food was delicious and presented with flair. Dani is an excellent teacher and is happy to answer questions. The best part of the experience was the empanadas made with masa and plantains, filled with black beans and cheese, I will make these again! Dani and Juli are comfortable with food allergies and dietary preferences and were careful to make sure that all components of the meal were gluten-free. An excellent experience!


Palinode: Hi there. How are you?
Schmutzie: It's been a long day.
Palinode: I mean that literally. As in, I can actually hear you. I'm not deaf.
Schmutzie: I didn't think you were deaf.
Palinode: Or maybe I'm deaf but just super-organized.
Palinode: So organized, in fact, that I've planned out the rest of my life in minute detail, and I can predict everything that's going to be said to me for the next forty-one* years.
Palinode: But it's true. I'm stone deaf and predicting our conversation.
Palinode: About twenty-four, thank you.
Palinode: Do you want me to pick up anything on the way home?
Schmutzie: Nothing comes to mind.
Palinode: Okay then. I'm bringing home a fake motorcycle.
Palinode: I'm going to walk home going putt-putt-putt-VROOM-putt-putt.
Schmutzie: That's not a fake motorcycle. You're being a pretend motorcycle.
Palinode: You don't understand. I'm going to hold my arms out like I'm gripping handles and stuff.
Schmutzie: That's still not a fake motorcycle. Pretending that something exists isn't the same as a fake thing that actually exists.
Palinode: You're saying that a thing has to be real in order to be a fake?
Palinode: What if I pretend to have a feeling? Isn't that then a counterfeit emotion? Like I pretend to love you or something, but it's all just a front to get at your riches?
Palinode: I like to pretend you have riches.

Reform it, extend it, but save National Flood Insurance Program The program needs to survive; without it, many New Jerseyans may find themselves unable to obtain flood insurance and unable to sell their homes. Check out this story on northjersey.com: https://njersy.co/2OIBvGf
North Jersey Editorial Board Published 7:17 a.m. ET Aug. 5, 2018
Older Millennials may have some early memories of Oakland's Pleasureland Swim Club, which shuttered in 1985 after a fatal shooting at Muller's Park next door. Then, as now, the area is prone to flooding.(Photo: Archive photo/NorthJersey.com)
The good news Tuesday was federal lawmakers deciding at the last minute to save the National Flood Insurance Program on which so many Jersey Shore property owners rely.
The bad news is that it's only a four-month extension — through hurricane season, as supporters point out — and we still have no idea how the program might be reformed beyond that, or whether it will even be kept alive.
We've reached this crisis point — the program has now been temporarily extended several different times, without any long-term resolution — thanks largely to a succession of natural disasters that have exposed program deficiencies and sent it deeply into debt. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, officials were critical of supposedly overpaid claims, prompting ham-handed attempts to reduce payments on Superstorm Sandy claims. That effort resulted in widespread underpayments, doctored engineering reports and other scams that cheated victims. The hammer blows from Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria last year have since exacerbated the program's debt concerns.
Reform efforts have been unusually bipartisan – by 2018 standards – as coastal states primarily affected by the program lean both Democrat and Republican. Party ideology in this case means less than properties at risk. The argument against maintaining the program should sound familiar to those who have followed Washington's efforts to eliminate state and local tax deductions on federal returns: Why should some states subsidize the needs of others?
The reason, of course, is that we're all supposed to be in this together — and in New Jersey's case, a lot of our tax money already goes toward subsidizing other states in many areas.
Several reform ideas have been offered, all of which would be preferable to suggestions the federal government get out of the flood insurance business entirely. The reason the feds got involved to begin with was the withdrawal of private insurers.

Lawmakers do hope to entice more private insurers to return as a means of offloading some of the burden – and the debt. Ultimately, though, officials must find a path to a more self-sustaining program that doesn't rely on massive rate hikes. Limits on those increases should be part of any reform package, as well as protections against the kinds of underpayments and bogus claim reviews inflicted on far too many Sandy victims. We also need to start responsibly moving people out of flood-prone areas rather than repeatedly rebuilding in the same increasingly vulnerable locations.
We can't count on Mother Nature cooperating. We can't dismiss this compacted series of storms as a fluke that won't repeat itself. Climate change virtually guarantees that we will see more frequent and more intense storms in the years to come. If lawmakers can't agree on a long-range plan, they'd better be prepared to continue extending the current program indefinitely. Simply allowing it to expire isn't an option.

Why Most Of Institutional Banks Are At The Brink Of Bankruptcy And How Will It Affect The Philippines?
Most of major banks today suffer impairment of loans due to the fact that majority of oil companies are being financed by these banks thru syndicated loans. These oil companies suffer great losses since the oil price per barrel slumped to it's lowest price early this year. Exploration cost is higher than the FMV of the crude oil exposing greater loss. Bank's cash flow will be definitely be affected due to probable default and major changes in the future cash flows of these oil companies. Banks are highly regulated by the central banks, it has to maintain certain liquidity as part of compliance. If there will be change in the inflow, definitely outflow will be also limited and would mean less opportunities for other businesses to avail loans or if can be availed but with higher borrowing cost. This will bring shock waves to all businesses which can also bring under performance or limited capacity.
The fall of oil price is brought about by many factors, the economic slowdown of China, the war in the Middle East, and overproduction of supply. Well, all has direct impact in the equity market. Most of the institutional banks like Deutsche, CitiBank, HSBC and Credit Suisses are all investment banks. They are the biggest players in the equity market. Indices are unstable, which will bring the unrealized losses into the books of the investment banks.
Global economies have already felt the economic recession and slowdown. Last year Canada recognized that they are already in recession. France just last month declared state of economic crisis. China is also at its slowdown. Who could forget the PIIGS of the euro-zone causing the initial instability of EURO. Russia and Brazil are also in recession.
Will these affect us in the Philippines? Yes, somehow we are just a small time player in the global but, our country remains to be the one of the resilient economies. We have unique kind of economy. Fundamentals are so strong that even at times of crisis, it can withstand.
In economics, we have this what we call the demographic window. This shows the age of the population, the younger the population the better since they can contribute more to the growth of the country. Most analysts, fear that China will start to age first before it becomes rich.
Let me quote an excerpt from Inquirer published last January 5, 2016.
"Asian Century Institute's John West sees this as a long-term trend. He in fact declares that we are now in the midst of the "Great Asian Slowdown" that is being driven by aging populations and by the failure to compensate this with productivity-boosting structural reforms. He observes how China, due in part to its decades-old one-child policy, saw its working age population peak in 2012 and begin declining since. While China recently decided to shift from a one-child policy into a two-child policy, West sees it as "too little, too late" and unlikely to have an impact for at least two decades. This could in fact have a negative effect in the near term, as additional children impose a burden on public finances. "In contrast to Japan, China faces the risk of becoming old before it becomes rich," he notes, adding that the average income of the Chinese is only one-fifth that of Americans."
But for the Philippines, we just entered the the demographic window. We have the youngest population among the ASEAN Nation.
Here's another excerpt from the article.
"But defying these demographic trends are the Philippines, Indonesia, Bangladesh and India, where large youth bulges are now entering the labor market. But this could be either a demographic dividend or time bomb, West asserts, depending on whether or not these economies invest enough in the productivity of their youth and undertake structural reforms that will generate the jobs to employ them."
Philippines will continue to grow no matter what or who will be our next president. Economic foundations are laid by our previous presidents so strong. Growth is already there. Take advantage of the things happening to us. Not all will suffer the economic crisis, some will emerge from the ashes of the others.
I tell these to all of you take time to think of your future and start planning now.

The NJP advocates to the Productivity Commission for better outcomes for First Nations Peoples
The National Justice Project recently made submissions to the Productivity Commission on their Indigenous Evaluation Strategy, with the assistance of Uncle Phil Duncan and Aunty Sue at Macquarie University's Walanga Muru and staff and students at Macqurie University's Social Justice Clinic.
The submissions highlighted the need to increase the input of First Nations Peoples into policy processes – particularly when gathering evidence about "what works" as regards policies which affect First Nations People. We submitted that without the crucial input of First Nations people, gathering such evidence in a meaningful way would simply not be possible. The NJP also highlighted the need to evaluate policies which greatly affected First Nations communities on cyclical basis after policy implementation, rather than as a separate process on an ad hoc basis and highlighted the need for inclusion consistent with the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People. We made many detailed recommendations – amongst them a recommendation that the Commission emphasise the importance of a Makarrata Commission as proposed in the Uluru Statement from the Heart.
We hope to influence the Commission in the recommendations they make in their interim report, and will likely make further submissions at that point.


If you happened to install the 11.7.700.169 or 11.7.700.179 versions of Flash Player 11, you may experience problems with some instances of video and audio streaming.

Stories along the way: Malaspina Ferry Sitka to Haines, Alaska
March 8, 2017 cdecourtneyadventure, Alaska, ferry, Haines, Robert Service , Sitka, stormy seas, travel1 Comment
The Sitka ferry dock is seven miles from downtown and, in the Alaska way, the taxi charges "per head." Downtown is icy, a plague of the freeze/thaw Alaska cycle. Thankfully I have my walking sticks with me. We see the Fearsome Four from the ferry, whose ages I have downgraded to mid-20's. We're going to a Lounge," they say. I think I am a mother figure to them, maybe it's the traveling pearls or the red silk scarf.
We slip and slide to the Highliner Coffee Shop, a favorite of mine. With purchase I get my own special Internet code for 90 minutes. Jim enjoys a hot chocolate (with whipped cream) and a warmed blueberry coffee cake while I type away silently cursing the lack of high speed Internet in Alaska. I get spoiled in Portland and Salem.
Jim and I taxi back to the ferry just in time. As the elevator door closes, I see my glove on the ground. A burly arm reaches out and stops the elevator door from closing so I can fetch it. The passenger list now exceeds 300 with the addition of more happy athletes from Sitka and Mt Edgecumbe (which is a respected boarding school for primarily Alaska Natives but open to all). It's lasagna for dinner, which Jim can never resist and so we find a corner of the cafeteria as the din increases with the new passengers. Juneau is 10 hours away and I can't imagine the teens will sleep.
On the way back to our cabin, we encounter the Fearsome Four who have commandeered the no-wi-fi-no-sleeping-no-sitting-on-the–tables computer room, sleeping bags already on the floor and the lights out. "We are so tired of kids," says one of them. Ironically they have left that age group just a few short years ago.
We retire to our "stateroom" for the night as it is the only corner left uninhabited. During the night we hear "call-outs" for Hoonah and Juneau. In the early hours we feel the ferry moving more and we sway in the beds. Squeaking noises appear around the cabin as the strain of the increasing seas rock the ship. Jim makes tea and coffee (a must) carefully pouring the boiling water over the coffee in the strainer. He's much better at it than I am.
Jim heads to the deck anxious to see what is going on with the weather. He comes back quickly. "You have to see this," he says. The ferry is eerily quiet now as the teens left in Juneau and we head to front row seats in the forward lounge. The wind whistles through the ship.
The seas are wild with huge waves and whitecaps everywhere. The front windows are covered with sea spray and it is hard to see through them. There are only a handful of passengers in the lounge and everyone is watching the ferry bounce in the violent seas and wind. The ferry's engines never quaver and it proceeds forward. Suddenly I see a black hooded shape moving outside the windows trying to get to the bow. He has a hard time, buffeted by the waves and turns back. Sometimes a crewmember goes to the bow and so it's really bad when he can't get there. He has hard time pulling the door from the deck open and comes into the lounge. It's one of the Fearsome Four, the redhead!! "I couldn't make it," he says.
A stocky, balding man in a t-shirt sits in one of the chairs casually watching the ferry's progress and laughing at the Fearsome One. He is obviously a frequent ferry traveler. The stocky man doesn't change his relaxed position and laughs quietly.
"I keep thinking of Harry Chapin's Dance Band on the Titanic," I tell the Fearsome One. " I realize the blank look means he has no idea what I am talking about. "Your're too young." I turn to the stocky man, "but you do." He nods and smiles. "Ok now you will have it stuck in your head for the whole day," I tell him.
We pack the "stateroom" consolidating as much as possible to make one trip to The Grey Panther then go back up top to watch the ferry plod forward. There will be a two-hour delay as the captain searches for a different route to avoid the worst of the high seas. Jim and I have both been in smaller boats in high seas and they are not pleasant memories, but it's fun to watch now. No one panics about the delay—this is Alaska and delays are part of life.
What shall I do with the little bouquet of flowers that has made me so happy in the cabin? I know the young woman in the lounge has too many things to handle with her baby. I walk down the hall and see a dark-haired youngish crew woman seriously studying her clipboard. "Would you like these flowers?" I ask. "You don't want them?" she asks surprised. "I'm leaving the ferry," I said "and want to give them to you." She looked from me to the flowers. "I love them!" she said. "I'll take them to my cabin."
Back in the lounge Jim and I sit near the young woman with her baby and we chat in the casual Alaska way. The happy baby has a beautiful quilt and crocheted blanket made by her grandmother and great-grandmother. She is traveling to Haines where her husband is running their heli-ski operation from February to May 1. Until the baby arrived she was his partner. He has not seen his daughter for a month now and she reflects how much harder it is being in total charge of this little life. Their home is in Montana. She admires my black lowtop boots wanting to know the brand. It makes me feel a little younger. She points out a spot on the coast, "We had a house there until last year," she said. "But it was so hard to get water. When girl friends came to visit and constantly flushed the toilet, I kept thinking, that's 2.2 gallons!" I decided not to tell her about my stay at the Buddhist temple in Santa Fe that does not allow you to flush unless absolutely necessary. I notice a tiny bottle of nail polish on the window ledge–from the teens. Jim said that there will be a pile of "left-behinds"
I watch an old man sitting near us. In Sitka while we were at the dock he struggled to the bow and took some photos. I am curious, he's not a novice. Now I watch as he studies the ferry's course and goes back to sitting near us in the front row. Finally he puts on his scarf and eventually his worn jacket. I know he has a story but time……..
Shore call, time to go and we head down to the car deck and to The Grey Panther. The Fearsome Three hug each other. Surprisingly the black pick-up truck in front of us from Virginia belongs to one of them, while the long-curly haired man climbs into the Sprinter beside us. It has a Utah license plate. We wave goodbye and drive off on to the dock passing a truck with a rocking chair and skis. The Third member, in a white car pulls up with a Texas license plate next to the pickup truck and wait for the Sprinter—not quite ready to say goodbye to their new friends in the Alaska Frontier. That's just the way Alaska is……..
We drive around Haines a little and eat at the Chilkook Bakery and Restaurant that serves Thai food. And has British soap in the washroom. Awww Alaska. We notice a Tiny House for sale
We're getting close to home now, spending a night in a hotel before we tackle the 1,000 miles and plan to leave early for the 400 mile drive to Tok where the temperature is expected to reach -35 degrees. Then onto Grandview overlooking the Matanuska Glacier to see friends we never get to see often enough. We will reflect on our ferry ride as we absorb it as another wonderful adventure.
The Shooting of Sam McGee
Were you ever out in the Great Alone, when the moon was awful clear,
And the icy mountains hemmed you in with a silence you most could hear;
With only the howl of a timber wolf, and you camped there in the cold,
A half-dead thing in a stark, dead world, clean mad for the muck called gold;
While high overhead, green, yellow and red, the North Lights swept in bars? —
Then you've a haunch what the music meant. . . hunger and night and the stars.

Tag: Dollywood
December 23, 2022 December 23, 2022 ~ Chris ~ Leave a comment
Some years ago my brother and I took a road trip through the Deep South, a six-day vacation doubling as a brush-up on American history and twangy regionalism. Civil rights, the Civil War, Graceland, Sun Records, the Lorraine Motel — we squeezed in a lot. Much of it moved us, spiritually, morally and musically.
But there was one stop that did its own crazy thing. It awed, confounded and regaled. There were history, banjos and biscuits. There were rollercoasters, glass-blowers and fiddlin' fools. There were fried catfish and frilly cowboy boots. There were lots of overalls.
We had found ourselves deep in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee in a gilded wonderland made of corn dogs and mascara. We were at … Dollywood.
That is, of course, Dolly Parton's personal theme park, 160 acres of thrill rides, country cooking, burly craftsmen, glitzy shows, nostalgic displays, Dolly shrines, all with a pinch of Christianity and patriotism. At opening hour, the National Anthem is blared before patrons, hands on hearts, can enter.
And there's ole Dolly, her rhinestone-studded likeness beaming around every corner — that shiny blonde bouffant, dimply red-wax smile and those famous Frankenboobs — in all its campy resplendence. Luckily she's in on the joke or the place would be unbearable in its lack of self-awareness. It would be a cruel punchline, not a family paradise.
But for us wiseacre city boys it was something else. Like an anthropological artifact unearthed in the soft southern soil to be puzzled over. It was our duty to stifle our snickers and suss out what makes this deeply red (politically), aggressively white (racially), boot-kicking (musically) environment tick.
Well, we never did get to the bottom of it, not surprisingly. We got too swept up in the nine rollercoasters and the luxuriantly bearded dudes doing woodwork and the beans and brisket and the dewy video presentations about Dolly's fabulous rags-to-riches life.
Dolly's no dip. Self-aggrandizement is her kryptonite; she never pulls a Kardashian, despite being something of a glam ham. She's a giver, not a taker. Indeed, she pays full college tuition for all the park's employees. That's on top of her other well-documented, deep-pocket altruism.
Dollywood's no joke, either. It's the number one theme park in the country, according to TripAdvisor (really?). Along with the nine rollercoasters (nine!) there's a water park, wads of wholesome live shows, 25 dining spots and a trillion shops (I bought a gaudy Dollywood coffee mug with my name on it). Go when the fall leaves turn in the scenic Smokies, or now when light snow falls. I'm starting to sound like a Parton pitchman.
Condescension is too easy, and Dollywood is too big a target. Have your fun — we did — then surrender to the facile charms of another bombastically artificial playland that at least offers a different theme than the formulaic movie characters of Disneyland and Six Flags. It's rustic, it's corny, it's unassuming. (A spokesman recently told The Times that they're working on the park's lack of diversity. So there's that.)
It's not unlike Kenny Rogers Roasters (where we actually ate in Nashville), Sammy Hagar's Cabo Wabo (where I will never eat), Reba McEntire's Reba's Place or Billy Cyrus' Car Wash and Detailing (now I'm making stuff up). Branding is hot, but Dolly — who smartly took a moment to invent a clever name for her venture — started Dollywood in the '80s. Ahead of the curve as always, working way more than 9 to 5.
So there we were, part-way through our whirlwind tour of the American South. Dollywood was on our list. We made it. At first we chuckled, assuming the camp quotient would be too delicious. We weren't Dolly diehards — I did like "Jolene," "Here You Come Again" and "9 to 5" — but our respect for the country icon was true.
Hokum is what we sought. But we were wrong. The craftsmen stuff was mildly interesting — whoa, he just carved out a birdhouse in like five minutes! — the Dolly stuff was tasteful if sometimes maudlin, and the overall setting was handsome and top-tier.
I spotted one of the bigger, meaner rollercoasters and we ran for it. I noticed that water sprayed up on some of the turns and curves. I hate that. I don't like getting drenched at theme parks, not even on those splashy log-ride thingies.
We got on. It was a corker, a great, rumbling ride. I was having a blast. Until the end, the final corkscrew. The goddam thing soaked me good. The joke, at last, was on me.
I own a Dollywood mug just like this gorgeous thing.
Doing the Charleston
March 9, 2019 March 10, 2019 ~ Chris ~ 6 Comments
History throbs and threads through Charleston, South Carolina, a city I haven't visited for about 16 reasons, the biggest being I just haven't made it down there yet. Part of that is because I feel I got my Deep South fix some years ago during a greatest-hits southern road trip with my brother in a brazenly purple Saturn sedan rental. It was a blast.
Filled with barbecue, catfish and boiled peanuts, we shoehorned as much as we could into five days, pit-stopping in Nashville; Memphis; Sun Records; Graceland; Asheville, N.C., which is tucked in the Blue Ridge Mountains; Montgomery and Birmingham; the dewey-eyed Dollywood Theme Park in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee; as well as Thomas Jefferson's digs at Monticello in Virginia on our way back north to Brooklyn. For much of the journey we listened to the operatically twangy "A Country Boy Can Survive" by Hank Williams Jr., an aching ode to hillbilly pride suddenly apt for these puke-making MAGA days, which dominated the local airwaves. (Listen HERE. It's impossibly catchy.)
A native Californian who survived more than a decade in Texas, I'm now an inveterate Yankee. As much as that maiden journey was an eye-opening kick, the South doesn't come naturally to me. On a later road trip I circumnavigated coastal Florida, from St. Augustine to Miami and the Keys, St. Petersburg to Panama City. (We cut through Alabama and landed in New Orleans, La.) I found Florida gauche, grubby and at times noxiously racist. You couldn't bribe me back.
Enter Charleston, S.C., above, a stately midsize city swathed in Civil War lore and, just as intriguing, boasting gourmet gold. I leave in two weeks for a fast three-day trip. Here's Lonely Planet on the burg's historical heft:
"Cannons, cemeteries and carriage rides conjure an earlier era in this lovely city. Signers of the Declaration of Independence puffed cigars and whispered of revolution in historic homes, and the first shots of the Civil War rang out over Fort Sumter. The city was built on slave labor, and several sights are among the nation's most important educators on the long-standing oppression of African Americans."
This is a small jaunt — a two-hour flight (free, thanks to airline credits) and a reasonable if flavorless midrange hotel in the Historic District. I'm taking a walking tour of the cobblestone-paved historic hood, including the French Quarter, but I'm not overly excited about the glut of antebellum mansions — silk sofas don't thrill me — sprawling parks or even fabled Fort Sumter, surefire soporifics I'd rather read about than actually visit.
In my sights is the Old Slave Mart Museum, which "recounts the story of Charleston's role in the interstate slave trade by focusing on the history of this particular building and site and the slave sales that occurred here." And I'll meander through and photograph the history-rich spreads of St. Philip's Graveyard and Magnolia Cemetery, morbid musts.
Called the Holy City for contested and not necessarily pious reasons, Charleston keeps accruing accolades as the "friendliest city" and "best city to visit" and other breathless superlatives glossy magazines can't help bestowing on every cool town (hello, Austin).
Part of its cachet derives from its evolution as a culinary epicenter, with drooled-over fine dining spots like Fig and McCrady's, which offers a rarefied tasting-menu experience — "inventive cuisine fresh from the farm" — with only 22 seats.
Supreme southern chef Sean Brock
The McCrady's kitchen is run by award-winning chef Sean Brock, who's been extensively profiled on "Chef's Table" and "The Mind of a Chef" on Netflix. Brock also co-owns the more casual Southern food destination Husk, where the crispy fried chicken skins are legend (and not always on the menu, drat). Brock and his famed dishes are a big reason I'm going to Charleston. Oysters are also a pull, with Leon's Oyster Shop and its exalted shellfish and scalloped potatoes firm on my gastronomic itinerary.
Call it my foodie expedition, brevity be damned. It's also my overdue return to the South, a region rather alien to me, a cluster of unvarnished Americana, verdant beauty, rampant Republicanism and Confederate fervor that, if nothing else, will impart salutary exposure to the unusual, surprising and startling — a whole new world, exactly why I pack up and go.


It has been awhile since we had a newsletter issue. I am working on the new one for the month and will try to keep up with them each month also.
Some Newsletters will be available in PDF for easy reading and printing.


MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Wisconsin Democrats scored a huge win when Tony Evers captured the governor's office last month. But an even bigger fight is looming as Republican lawmakers prepare to redraw legislative boundaries, stirring fears among Democrats that their rivals could take unprecedented steps to remove Evers from the process.
State law requires legislators to redraw the boundaries every 10 years to reflect population changes. It's a high-stakes task since the party in control can craft maps that consolidate their power and lock in their majority for years.
The last time lawmakers drew new boundaries was in 2011, when Republicans controlled the Senate, Assembly and governor's office.
But nervous Democrats fear Republicans may take steps to remove or weaken the governor's power in the redistricting process.
"There's just about anything you can do if you really want to," U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Madison, said earlier this month. "I'm just concerned. I'm watching everything. It's just the wrong thing to do. You already have gerrymandered the state enough that you have all of the seats that you could possibly want."
Republican leaders have said they don't plan on tinkering with redistricting when they return in December for a lame-duck session to advance their priorities and take some power away from Evers before he takes office. But they haven't released their proposal, fueling concerns among Democrats.
Assembly Minority Leader Gordon Hintz asked the Wisconsin Legislative Reference Bureau this month whether a redistricting plan can take effect without legislation. The bureau's legal services manager, Joseph Kreye, responded with a memo saying any redistricting plan enacted outside of the law-making process "would be inconsistent with historical and legal precedent" and violate the state constitution.
The Wisconsin Constitution requires lawmakers to draw new boundaries following each federal census but doesn't spell out how.
Republicans also could adopt their own boundaries later, let Evers veto them and then sue, arguing the maps should become law regardless. The state Supreme Court could rule that previous case law doesn't apply and put the maps into effect.
Senate Republican Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald and Assembly Speaker Robin Vos' spokeswoman, Kit Beyer, both say there's been no talk about changing redistricting. Walker spokeswoman Amy Hasenberg didn't immediately reply to an email Wednesday.
Removing the governor from redistricting would "fly in the face of the entire history of our state," University of Wisconsin-Madison political scientist David Canon said.
"This could really backfire if (Republicans) try to do this," Canon said. "This would become the rallying cry for Democrats around the state."

Todd Souza (born December 13, 1964) is an American professional stock car racing driver who competes full-time in the ARCA Menards Series West and part-time in the ARCA Menards Series, driving the No. 13 Ford for his team, Central Coast Racing. He has also driven in what is now the NASCAR Xfinity Series, making two starts in 2007, and part-time in what is now the ARCA Menards Series East.

Racing career

He attempted to make his debut in the NASCAR Busch Series (now the Xfinity Series) in 2005 at the series' inaugural race at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez road course in Mexico City. Fielding his own No. 97 Chevrolet, Souza failed to qualify. He returned later that year at the other road course on the schedule, Watkins Glen, and did not qualify again. After not entering any races in 2006, Souza returned to the Busch Series in 2007, again at Mexico City, but now using the No. 13, his West Series car number. Unlike two years earlier, he made the field this time. After finishing a solid 23rd in his debut, he attempted one other race that year, Phoenix in November, where he successfully qualified for the race but crashed out and finished 40th. That race is his last start in the series to date.

Souza has competed in NASCAR's West Series since 2006. He has one career win in the series, coming at Miller Motorsports Park in Utah in 2008. He completed his first full-time season in 2017 before scaling back to part-time for the 2018 season.

Souza's 2019 season was highlighted by two top-three finishes: a third-place run at Colorado National Speedway (his first podium in two years) and a runner-up finish at Meridian Speedway. He also made headlines at Gateway after on-track contact with Hailie Deegan, calling her "spoiled and rotten" and deeming her move "disrespectful."

Souza's crew chief is Michael Muñoz, who has worked with him since the late 2000s.

Q: Extern Enum Function Not Working—"Undefined Reference To" Error I have the following files:
KeywordParser.h
#include <Ramp.h>

#ifndef KeywordParser_h
#define KeywordParser_h

extern enum ramp_mode parseRampMode(char* command);
extern enum loop_mode parseLoopMode(char* command);

#endif

KeywordParser.cpp
#include <KeywordParser.h>
#include <Ramp.h>

enum ramp_mode parseRampMode(const char* command) {
  if (strcmp(command, "NONE") == 0) return NONE;
  if (strcmp(command, "LINEAR") == 0) return LINEAR;
// ...

  return NONE;
};

enum loop_mode parseLoopMode(const char* command) {
  if (strcmp(command, "ONCEFORWARD") == 0) return ONCEFORWARD;
  if (strcmp(command, "LOOPFORWARD") == 0) return LOOPFORWARD;
// ...

  return ONCEFORWARD;
};

main.cpp
#include <Arduino.h>
#include <KeywordParser.h>
// a bunch of code, eventually, though, I call the functions

void loop() {
  parseRampMode("NONE");
  parseLoopMode("ONCEFORWARD");
}

I am using PlatformIO to do the compilation. I am including many other header files that work just fine (albeit they aren't for extern enum functions; they're for classes).
Now, though, I get this error for each time I use the functions:

<artificial>: undefined reference to `parseLoopMode(char*)'

<artificial>: undefined reference to `parseRampMode(char*)'

My IntelliSense gives no indication of wrongdoing. Any idea what the problem here is? This is unimaginably frustrating. I have a hint that it has something to do with needing extern "C", but I've tried that.
Thanks in advance.

A: Wow, thank you Ken White! I looked through the link you showed and found this answer.
The new KeywordParser.h
#include <Ramp.h>

#ifndef KeywordParser_h
#define KeywordParser_h

extern enum ramp_mode parseRampMode(const char* command);
extern enum loop_mode parseLoopMode(const char* command);

#endif

(Look at the parameters.)


You can apply glitter to just about anything, from wooden boxes to glass mason jars. It is an easy project that even beginner crafters can do. Getting glitter to stick to smooth, glossy surfaces, such as plastic, can be tricky. With the right technique and materials, however, you can get a durable finish. If you take good care of the item, the glitter can last a long time.
Clean the item with soap and water, if possible. Wash the item in the sink using soap and warm water. If the item can't get wet (i.e. headphones), wipe it down with a damp cloth instead. If you are going to apply glitter to a phone case, pop the case off of the phone first.
Mask off the areas that you do not want glittered. Use painter's tape if you want straight lines, or stencils/stickers if you want silhouettes. You can also cut painter's tape into waves or zigzags for a unique twist.
Smooth down the edges of your tape/stencil/sticker with your fingernail.
Buff glossy items with sandpaper. You don't have to do this if the plastic is matte or textured. If the item is glossy or shiny, however, you should sand it with fine-grit sandpaper. This will take away the smooth finish and give the glue something to stick to.
Be careful not to sand over any areas that you masked off, otherwise you might end up with a fuzzy line.
Wipe the item down with rubbing alcohol. Soak a paper towel, tissue, or cotton ball in rubbing alcohol. Use this to wipe down the entire surface of your item. This will remove any oils and residues that might prevent the decoupage from sticking. It will also remove any sanding dust, if you sanded the item.
You should do this even if you cannot wash the item. There is not enough rubbing alcohol to damage the item.
Apply a thick coat of glossy decoupage glue, then brush it smooth. Use a paintbrush or a foam brush to apply a thick coat of glossy-finish decoupage glue (i.e. Mod Podge) to the item. Run your brush over the surface again to remove any brushstrokes.
If you are covering the entire item with glitter, consider coating just half of it with glue for now. This way, you'll have something dry to hold on to.
If you are covering a plastic cup, stick your hand into the cup. This way, you can coat all of the sides without getting your hands dirty.
You can also try using regular white school glue or even acrylic craft paint. Keep in mind that you won't be able to apply a second layer with paint, or you will dull the glitter.
Shake a generous amount of glitter onto the item. Rotate the item to make sure that you are coating all of the edges. To make cleaning up easier, work over a sheet of paper that's been creased down the middle. This way, once you are done, you can funnel the glitter back into its jar.
Extra-fine glitter will look more professional, but you can use the standard chunky kind too.
Wait 1 to 2 hours, then add a second coat, if needed. Sometimes, the first coat of glitter is not enough. If the item's original surface is showing through the glitter, you might want to add a second coat. Wait 1 to 2 hours for the first coat to dry, then apply more decoupage glue and glitter over the entire item.
You can use a different type of glitter to create an interesting texture. For example, if you used chunky glitter at first, you can use extra-fine glitter this time.
Do not add a second layer if you used paint, or you will dull the glitter down.
Let the glitter dry, then repeat the process for the other sides. You only need to do this if you are glittering a multi-sided object. Apply the decoupage glue to the item first, then shake glitter onto it. Let it dry for 1 to 2 hours, then add a second coat of glue and glitter, if needed. Let the item dry completely before proceeding.
If your are applying glitter to just 1 side, you can skip this step and move onto the next one.
Remove any painter's tape, stencils, or stickers. Peel the tape straight up, and avoid dragging it across the surface. If you drag it across the surface, you risk peeling the glitter off. If you do get a chip, fill it in using a thin, pointed brush and decoupage glue, then sprinkle glitter over it.
Use a dry paintbrush to brush any stray bits of glitter from the un-glittered parts of your item.
Apply 2 coats of clear, glossy sealer. You can use glossy decoupage glue for this step, or you can use another type of glossy sealer. Apply the first coat, let it dry, then add a second coat.
If you masked off any areas previously, extend the sealer just past the glittered edges. This will seal the glitter onto the item and prevent flaking.
Let the item dry and cure completely before using it. Most decoupage glues will dry to the touch after several hours. Some of them need to cure for several days before they are ready to use. This can be as little as 3 to 7 days, or as long as 28 days. Check the label on your decoupage glue to find out the exact drying and curing times.
Do not use the item before it has finished curing. It may turn sticky, or the glitter may peel off.
Find an item with straight, smooth sides. Items such as cups, phone cases, jars, and plastic Easter eggs work great for this. Items with lots of details, bumps, or ridges, such as toys and figurines, are not recommended. Keep in mind that the glitter coverage tends to be sheer with this method.
If you don't want the coverage to be sheer, match the item color to the glitter color.
Wipe the item down with rubbing alcohol. Soak a tissue, paper towel, or cotton ball with rubbing alcohol. Wipe it over the surface of your item to remove any surface dirt or oils. This will help the tape stick better.
Find some double-sided tape. You can use the double-sided tape that is sold alongside other types of scotch tape. You can also use scrapbooking double-sided tape, which comes in different widths and has a protective covering on the front. This will allow you to make strips that are different widths.
Do not use foam mounting tape or foam tape. It is too thick.
You can also use other types of double-sided adhesives, such as sheets, scrolls, or dots.
Wrap the tape around your item, then cut off the excess with scissors. You can wrap the tape anywhere around the item you want: top, bottom, middle, etc. You can even create patterns, such as horizontal, vertical, or diagonal stripes.
If your double-sided tape has a protective covering, smooth the tape down first, then peel the covering off.
If you want to use more than 1 color of glitter, lay down the strip for the first color for now.
Shake extra-fine glitter onto the item. Rotate the item as you are shaking glitter onto it so that the taped parts are all covered. The extra glitter will collect under the item. If you want to, you can even roll the item across this excess glitter.
Work on top of a piece of paper that's been creased down the middle. When you are done, use the paper to funnel the glitter back into its jar.
You can use the regular chunky glitter, but extra-fine glitter will stick to the tape much better.
Tap your finger against the glittered parts to secure it. If you see any bare spots, you can simply sprinkle more glitter over them. If you got any glitter outside of the tape, use a dry paintbrush to gently brush it off. Use a large brush for large areas, and a small brush for tight corners and curves.
Apply more strips for other colors, if desired. You can stop here, or you can lay down additional strips of tape to add more colors of glitter to your item. Remember to use your folded paper to funnel the glitter back into its jar before you move onto a different color. This way, you won't mix colors.
Seal the glitter, if desired. This method is not as durable as using decoupage glue, so expect there to be some shedding. You can try sealing the glitter in with a glossy-finish sealer, but avoid using too much, or you risk diluting the adhesive on the tape.
Brush or spray on 1 to 2 thin coats of sealer. Let each coat dry before adding a second coat.
Can I use hairspray to apply the glitter?
After gluing glitter to the paper, you can use hairspray to stop it from shedding. Keep in mind that the hairspray layer can yellow over time. Hair spray alone does not have enough body to hold glitter on paper.
Instead of working over a folded sheet if paper, you can work over a lid or box. Use the corner of the box to funnel excess glitter back into the bottle.
If you glittered a flat object, such as a phone case, you can pour clear epoxy resin over it to seal the glitter in.
You can use a clear, glossy, spray sealer to reduce shedding, but it won't be as durable as a brush-on sealer. Hairspray also works, but it turns yellow over time.
Use tape or a lint roller to pick up any stray glitter from your table or floor.
If you are glittering drinking glasses, place the glitter about 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the rim, otherwise you will get glitter all over your mouth.
Do not wash items if you used tape to adhere the glitter. The tape will come off.
Do not soak decoupaged items. You can wipe the surfaces down with a damp cloth, but don't leave them standing in water.
Do not place glittered items into the dishwasher. The glitter will fall off.

With Chicago's homicide rates for 2016 at their highest since 1996, Donald Trump has called on city officials to "ask for Federal help" if authorities can't curb the city's increasing violence.
The Chicago Tribune's homicide count reports 779 homicides in 2016, making it the worst year for homicides since 1996, which saw 796. The Chicago Police Department's tally of 762 doesn't count police-related shootings, self-defense killings or those which take place on area expressways.
With over 700 murders and more than 4,331 shooting victims in 2016, Chicago has the unfortunate claim of having more casualties than Los Angeles and New York combined.
With three people dead and 16 wounded in the first six hours of 2017, along with 13 more injured in a spate shootings across the city in 2017 so far, the problem seems likely to persist.
Chicago saw 480 murders in 2015, although in terms of murder rates per 100,000, Chicago ranks 24th in the top 25 US cities for 2015, with St Louis, Missouri ranking highest.
Trump is correct about murder explosion in Chicago. It's a national emergency and the city has not solved it for too long.
According to the CBS documentary Crisis in Chicago, the shocking statistics tell more of a tale about police resources and practices. According to CBS, stops and arrests tend to increase along with rising crime rates, but in Chicago, there has been a drop.
In August 2015, cops stopped and questioned 49,257 people. In August 2016, 8,859 were stopped, a decrease of 80 percent. Arrests also dropped from over 10,000 to 6,900 during the same period.
The case of Laquan McDonald, a 17-year-old shot by police officer Jason Van Dyke in 2014, and the so-called 'Ferguson effect,' in the aftermath has been suggested as a contributing factor in Chicago's homicides.
While police claimed McDonald ignored their commands to stop before then lunging at officers with a knife, dashcam footage, which had been suppressed but later released, contradicted their claims, instead showing McDonald walking away before a police officer unloaded 17 bullets into him.
When the damning footage was released, it caused outrage and protests on the streets of Chicago as residents accused the city of a cover-up.
Police superintendent Gerry McCarthy was fired following outrage over McDonald's death and police were subsequently ordered to turn in two-page reports for every stop they carried out, after the ACLU had threatened to sue for racial profiling.
"Within six weeks of the shooting scandal, investigative stops fell by nearly 35,000," CBS says.
Superintendent Eddie Johnson blames nationwide "anti-police sentiment" as a result of police shootings of black Americans leading to "emboldened" criminals committing violent crimes, along with lax sentencing for repeat offenders.
Johnson noted that a large proportion of violent crimes took place place in five police districts in the South and West side of the city. Harrison and Englewood accounted for a quarter of homicides and shooting incidents.
In Chicago's racially segregated South and West Sides, murder rates are higher than other areas in the city. According to the New York Times, 12 percent of Chicago's black population live in a census block that is 100 percent black.
Loyola University Chicago criminology professor Arthur Lurigio, found many gangs have fractured, also leading to an increase in violence.
Johnson pointed to a 10 percent increase in gun arrests and a 20 percent increase in gun recoveries by police in 2016 to deny claims police efforts were to blame.
2017 will, according to Johnson, see an improvement with an increase in surveillance cameras and data-driven command centers in Englewood and Harrison districts, along with the hiring of around 500 new officers.
