The President is Missing
By Bill Clinton and James Patterson
When Tom Wolfe noted that “the problem with fiction” is that “it has to be plausible,” he may have had efforts
like this one in mind. Bill Clinton and James Patterson’s ambitious and wildly readable new novel, “The
President Is Missing,” arches more closely toward plausibility in its geopolitical subplots — threats against
the Saudi king, malicious Russian meddling in world affairs — than its main story line of a president who
ditches his handlers and goes rogue from the White House, convinced he is the only one who can foil a huge
cyberterror plot.
The book opens with a charged scene in which President Jonathan Duncan is participating in a mock
hearing to prepare for a congressional inquiry investigating the botched attempt to capture a terrorist. When
the president loses his temper, he vindicates the advisers who have cautioned him not to appear before the
actual committee. It’s a satisfying outcome for the former senior staffer in me — but unrealistic, considering
the picture of the president that unfolds on the subsequent pages.

Fort De Soto Park, St. Petersburg, Florida
One of the most dog-friendly beaches in Florida, Fort De Soto State Park not only welcomes pets on the
sand, but also has special Paw Playgrounds for big and small dogs with shade and water stations. Dogs
must be leashed when they enter and exit the beach, but can enjoy the water and sand off leash with their
owners the rest of their visit. In a recently released survey, Fort De Soto was one of Invitation Homes Top 10
Dog Beaches, where factors such as leash laws, whether pets can go in the water, what times of the year
pets are allowed on the beach, and whether there is a pet-only section were evaluated. “For anyone who
lives near the beach or takes their pet on vacation, there is nothing like seeing the joy of your ‘best friend’
frolicking in the sand,” says Marnie Vaughn, vice president of operations in Florida.

Tech users have long questioned whether mobile devices and smart speakers eavesdrop on their private
conversations. Apple answered that question Tuesday with a resounding no.
In a letter to federal lawmakers, the tech giant insisted that iPhones do not listen to what users are saying
and said third-party app developers don't have access to audio data.
"iPhone doesn't listen to consumers except to recognize the clear, unambiguous audio trigger 'Hey Siri,'"
Timothy Powderly, Apple's director of Federal Government Affairs, wrote in the letter, which was obtained by
CNN.
"The customer is not our product, and our business model does not depend on collecting vast amounts of
personally identifiable information to enrich targeted profiles marketed to advertisers," he added.

BRAZIL: JUDGE SHUTS BORDER TO VENEZUELAN
MIGRANTS FLEEING HUNGER AND HARDSHIP
Judge says entry of immigrants suspended until
conditions for ‘humanitarian reception’ are created –
activists called it ‘absurd’
A judge in Brazil has blocked Venezuelans from entering the
border state of Roraima as local authorities harden their stance
against the flood of migrants fleeing hunger and hardship in their
home country.
Judge Helder Barreto said he had suspended the entry of
Venezuelan immigrants until the conditions for a “humanitarian
reception” are created but activists working with migrants
attacked it as “absurd”.
Sister Telma Lage from the non-profit Migration and Human
Rights Institute, which helps vulnerable migrants in Roraima’s
capital Boa Vista, said the judge had overstepped his authority. “[Venezuelans] are entering Brazil and seeking refuge
because of the vulnerable situation they find themselves in,” she
said. “What we fear is the lack of options for those near to the
border.”
Since 2015, more than 56,000 Venezuelans have sought
refuge or residency in Brazil amid continuing political turmoil and
economic collapse in their home country. […]
But the flood of migrants has severely stretched health and
education services in the poor state of Roraima.

Pluto should be reclassified as a planet, experts say
The reason Pluto lost its planet status is not valid, according
to new research from the University of Central Florida in
Orlando. In 2006, the International Astronomical Union (IAU), a
global group of astronomy experts, established a definition of a
planet that required it to "clear" its orbit, or in other words, be the
largest gravitational force in its orbit. […]
Metzger, who is lead author on the study, reviewed scientific
literature from the past 200 years and found only one publication
-- from 1802 -- that used the clearing-orbit requirement to
classify planets, and it was based on since-disproven reasoning.
"It's a sloppy definition," Metzger said of the IAU's definition.
"They didn't say what they meant by clearing their orbit. If you
take that literally, then there are no planets, because no planet
clears its orbit." […]
Metzger said that the definition of a planet should be based
on its intrinsic properties, rather than ones that can change, such
as the dynamics of a planet's orbit. "Dynamics are not constant,
they are constantly changing," Metzger said. "So, they are not
the fundamental description of a body, they are just the
occupation of a body at a current era."
Instead, Metzger recommends classifying a planet based on
if it is large enough that its gravity allows it to become spherical
in shape. "And that's not just an arbitrary definition, Metzger
said. "It turns out this is an important milestone in the evolution
of a planetary body, because apparently when it happens, it
initiates active geology in the body."

Uncontacted Amazon tribe has been threatened by illegal
loggers
Remarkable close-up footage that appears to show an
uncontacted tribesman in the Amazon rainforest has been
released by an indigenous media group that wants to raise
awareness of the threat posed by illegal loggers, miners and
drug traffickers.
(...) The Awá have been described as the world’s most
threatened tribe by the NGO Survival International, which has
tracked killings by loggers, who surround and frequently
encroach upon the group’s territory.
Many of the community have been forced to abandon
the forest, but some remain in self-imposed isolation. Their
existence has been called into question by commercial interests
that want to move into the land, but the new footage has been
cited as proof that they remain in the territory.
It was recorded by a member of a neighbouring tribe,
the Guajajara, which is trying to defend one of the last pockets
of intact forest in Maranhão, a massively deforested state in the
north-east of Brazil.
―We hope this film produces something positive.
We
hope it makes an impact around the world to help protect our
people and our forest,‖ said Flay Guajajara, who shot the image
while out hunting and released it through the Mídia
Índia platform.
(...) Olimpio Guajajara, coordinator of the Guardians of
the Amazon, said three of the group’s members have been
murdered in this activity, which highlighted the need for more
long-term support. He said: ―We Guardians are defending our
people’s rights, defending the uncontacted Indians, and
defending nature for all of us. We need the land to be protected
for good."
Indigenous groups say successive governments have
failed to adequately recognise their territorial rights and their
role in protecting forests that are globally essential for carbon
sequestration and natural habitats.
According to Survival International, loggers have been
emboldened by the government and their camps can now be
seen on the edge of Awá land.
Director Stephen Corry said: ―This video is further
proof that the uncontacted Awá people really exist. And a
glance at a satellite photo shows just how much danger they’re
in. Loggers have already killed many of their relatives and
forced others out of the forest".

Missing Dentures Found Stuck in Man's Throat 8 Days
After Surgery
Here’s why it’s best to remove false teeth before
surgery: You just might swallow them.
A medical journal is reporting the case of a 72-
year-old British man whose partial dentures apparently
got stuck in his throat during surgery and weren’t
discovered for eight days.
The man went to the emergency room because he
was having a hard time swallowing and was coughing up
blood. Doctors ordered a chest X-ray, diagnosed him with
what they wrongly thought was pneumonia and sent him
home with antibiotics and steroids. It took another
hospital visit before another X-ray revealed the problem:
His dentures — a metal roof plate and three false teeth —
lodged at the top of his throat.
The man thought his dentures were lost while he
was in the hospital for minor surgery.
How it happened isn’t exactly clear, but a halfdozen previous cases have been documented of dentures
going astray as surgical patients were put to sleep.
Placing a tube in a patient’s airway can push
things where they don’t belong, said Dr. Mary Dale
Peterson, an anesthesiologist at Driscoll Children’s
Hospital in Corpus Christi, Texas.
Besides dentures, retainers, loose teeth and
tongue piercings can cause problems, said Peterson, who
is president-elect of the American Society of
Anesthesiologists. Before a child’s surgery, she’ll pull a
very loose tooth and tell the patient to expect a visit from
the tooth fairy. "We can make a nice game of it."
In the British case, after the dentures were
removed, the man had several bouts of bleeding that
required more surgery before he recovered. The journal
article didn’t identify the man or the hospital involved. […]
