1. Bought #ApothecaryDiaries Xiaolan's Story. Read it while waiting for today's choir. It is darker than the main story, but still very interesting.
2. Today's choir. We finished it with going outside, in front of a nearby church, and singing/training one of Christmas songs we're preparing. It was quite fun.
3. Went to the hairdresser and got my hair shortened. It's so light and no hair is falling into my eyes.

Dining in Trumpistan is a hazardous undertaking. An unacceptable lack of oversight by this rotten government: ‘More than 1.5 million pounds of hot dogs, bacon, deli meat, bratwursts and more have been recalled nationwide.’ {WMUR 19 October}

Solving the Wrong Problem?
On January 1, 2025, the Basel Convention’s amendments on e-waste took effect, extending the Prior Informed Consent (PIC) procedure to non-hazardous e-waste for the first time. Yet, they regulate e-waste only after it has become waste and leave untouched the design and production decisions that determine how much of it is generated. T
Been working more on environmental hazards. Fixed it up and added some functionality while putting in a temporary sound effect. Next up is animations for touching hazards and the life system

CoSeismic Shallow Landslide Distributions Reveal Patterns Of Regolith Thickness In High Mountains

“[This paper] paper seeks to develop a shallow earthquake-triggered landslide model. It has really pushed [the H/T’s] thinking around the role of regolith in controlling landsliding in high mountains…”

“... PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY: Large earthquakes can trigger thousands of landslides, moving regolith (the loose soil and weathered rock that mantles hillslopes) into rivers and valleys. Predicting where these landslides occur is difficult because regolith thickness varies across mountain landscapes and is rarely measured directly. [The authors] developed a new model, ShallowLandslider, that combines slope-stability physics with statistical methods to simulate populations of earthquake-triggered shallow landslides. [They] tested the model in two regions affected by the 2015 Gorkha earthquake in Nepal and compared simulated landslides with a mapped inventory. The[ir] model performed best when it included spatial variations in regolith thickness. In the steep, high-relief landscape, landslide occurrence was reproduced most successfully when regolith thickness decreased with elevation. In the lower-relief landscape, the best results occurred when thicker regolith was concentrated in convergent hollows where sediment accumulates. The simulations also matched observations most closely for cohesion values typical of shallow colluvium, supporting the interpretation that most Gorkha landslides were shallow, regolith-sourced failures. These results show that coseismic landslide patterns depend not only on ground shaking and slope steepness, but also on how regolith is organized across the landscape. Landslide inventories can help evaluate competing hypotheses of regolith distribution where direct observations are sparse…”

Mesquite Country
Jack Ratliff’s Mesquite Country is a memoir of growing up in West Texas, practicing law in El Paso, and finding new purposes in teaching and public service. Organized as a series of recollections and character sketches, it presents a life shaped by family businesses, local customs, professional friendships, and the demands of conscience. Ratliff writes with the ease of an experienced storyteller who knows how much a revealing exchange can convey. The book’s appeal comes from its combination of regional specificity and thoughtful attention to the choices people make within their communities.
The childhood chapters establish Sonora through its everyday gathering places: the dry goods store, drugstore, pool hall, playing fields, and funeral home. Ratliff has a particularly good memory for physical surroundings, including the smell of new denim and the cool, shaded refuge of a poolroom in midsummer. His account of local nicknames captures both the community’s familiarity and its methods of enforcing social equality. “It’s hard to be pompous when your name is Pootie,” he observes. Such lines demonstrate his economical humor, while his willingness to revisit youthful embarrassment and foolishness gives the narrative an approachable, candid voice.
Family relationships supply much of the memoir’s emotional and ethical substance. Ratliff’s father emerges through work, conversation, and the patient rituals of teaching his sons baseball. Affection is expressed in practical acts, and lessons about honesty acquire weight through circumstances that test them. Ratliff also examines the racial divisions, expectations of masculinity, and limits placed on women’s ambitions in the world of his youth. These passages benefit from his readiness to acknowledge his own participation in local prejudices and question his earlier assumptions. His retrospective perspective adds depth to the book’s warmth by showing how belonging can shape both opportunity and judgment.
The courtroom chapters carry those concerns into a profession where credibility, preparation, and persuasion have immediate consequences. Lawyers, judges, clients, and jurors receive sharply individualized portraits, and Ratliff explains legal procedures through the practical problems they create. His appreciation for a mentor’s commitment “to work at being both effective and honorable” identifies a central standard against which professional conduct is measured. He’s especially engaging when describing the relationship between strategy and human perception. Some extended accounts of litigation slow the pace, and the accumulation of names occasionally demands extra attention. Still, the procedural detail gives readers a substantial understanding of the work and its ethical pressures.
The later sections broaden the memoir through university life, efforts to secure legal representation for Guantanamo detainees, and observations from a Hill Country ranch. Their changes in tone reflect Ratliff’s range, from institutional frustration to affectionate animal comedy. A concluding fictional story extends his interest in vernacular speech, colorful personalities, and the hazards of misplaced confidence. Across these different settings, the book maintains a recognizable voice: observant, amused, and prepared to reconsider its narrator’s judgments. Mesquite Country will appeal to readers of regional memoir and accounts of legal practice, offering memorable company and a sustained examination of how fairness is learned and exercised.
