Groton — Scorching heat continued to grip the shoreline on Tuesday, where a high of 95 degrees at 4 p.m. broke a 30-year-old record at the Groton-New London Airport.
The past record for July 16 was set in 1983, when the temperature hit 94 degrees, said Gary Lessor, a meteorologist and assistant director of The Weather Center at Western Connecticut State University.
It was the second day in a row that the regional high temperature was above 90 degrees — Monday saw a high of 94 degrees. In New England, Lessor said three days of 90-degree-plus temperatures constitutes a heat wave. Inland and western shoreline areas have already reached the threshold. And since the official Connecticut temperatures are recorded at Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, the state is in a heat wave.
But in the Groton and New London area, the temperature is unlikely to hit the 90-degree mark again today, Lessor said, because of a southerly wind that is expected to cool off over the 66-degree waters of Long Island Sound before it comes ashore.
"It doesn't take too much with a decent wind flow to keep the shoreline areas cooler," Lessor said.
He forecasts the high temperature today to be about 87 degrees. Inland areas such as Norwich should reach about 93 degrees.
It will remain in the mid- to upper-80s for the remainder of the week on the shoreline, he said,with relief in sight for late Saturday or Sunday, when a cold front moves in, bringing with it cooler air but also the chance for thunderstorms and damaging winds.
Normal temperatures this time of year are just above 77 degrees in the Groton and New London area. So far, July has averaged 4 degrees above normal with just over half an inch of rainfall, Lessor said.


New Testing Method to determine the Yield Stress of Polymeric Materials

New Test Method to determine the Yield Stress of Polymeric Materials
By Howard Hong, Lee Kim Kheng
Mobile Device Business (iDENTM)
This paper describes a new test method to determine the yield stress of polymeric materials. The determination of the correct yield stress for a particular material is crucial to defining the range of nonlinear elastic curve defined by the hyperelastic material model and the initiation of post-yield data defined by plastic material deck in finite element software (Abaqus™). The benefits entailed from this work would be a better prediction of the material under deformations in simulations.
Presently, there is no appropriate method or standard to find the yield point of polymeric (polycarbonate) materials as they behave non-linearly when they are tensile-loaded in a universal testing machine (UTM). Unlike the metallic materials which have an obvious yield point, the non-linear response of polymeric material does not have a distinct point demarcated from the line of proportionality as shown in Fig. 1, thereby not enabling the yield stress location to be determined on the stress vs. strain curve; in this case LexanTM EXL1414. In most cases, the lower yield stress is used in numerical simulations, which results in a large plastic strain predicted in simulations when the polymeric materials are deformed much during highly nonlinear drop. Unnecessary follow-up work could entail to tackle the over-conservative predictions.
Fig. 1: Stress vs Strain for LexanTM EXL 1414 Polycarbonate
Hence, a new test method is proposed to determine the correct yield stress of polymeric materials.
The dogbone sample would need to be experimentally pulled in the UTS at a quasi-static speed, and determine the amount of residual strain (or plastic strain in a more familiar term) at a lower load. It is then relaxed for a suitable period before pulling it at next higher load and determining the strain again. This process is continuing for a few cycles till the residual strain is explicitly identified from the experimental curve seen in the UTS. The determination of the yield point is then obtained from the residual strain vs engineering stress curve.
The method involves the use of a test profiler feature available in in-house UTM (INSTRONTM model 5544). This feature is basically controlling how the sample is to be tested with force or displacement control at a specified load for a particular duration. The sample, whi...

Where do I begin? I suppose I’ll tell you about a brilliant, educated woman, Dasha Zhukova, 32, who is the Russian editor-in-chief of Garage magazine. She was born in Russia, but educated in the U.S., where her mother taught molecular biology at UCLA. Her father was and still is a very wealthy Russian oil man. She earned her degree in Slavic studies and literature from UC Santa Barbara, graduating with honors and later enrolled in London’s College of Naturopathic Medicine. She has been called a businesswoman, philanthropist, entrepreneur and fashion designer. In short, she’s no dummy. So how does a lovely, smart woman sit down for a photo shoot with Russian magazine, Buro 24/7, and not for even a little bit think this might be offensive?
Not even a little? Pret-a-Reporter, the Hollywood Reporter’s fashion pub ignored some important journalistic tenets when posting their headline:
Stylelite.com posted Zhukova’s shaming of the uneducated who were too stupid to understand the inference of her sitting on the chair. It goes without saying that no one knew the artist so she provides a brief history before the berating begins. I’m pretty sure you have to put your pinky out and use a Cambridge accent when you read this.
“The chair pictured in the Buro 24/7 website interview is an artwork created by Norwegian artist Bjarne Melgaard, one of a series that reinterprets art historical works from artist Allen Jones as a commentary on gender and racial politics. Its use in this photo shoot is regrettable as it took the artwork totally out of its intended context, particularly given that Buro 24/7’s release of the article coincided with the important celebration of the life and legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
I regret allowing an artwork with such charged meaning to be used in this context. I utterly abhor racism and would like to apologize to those offended by my participation in this shoot.
Garage Magazine has a strong track record of promoting diversity and racial and gender equality in the worlds of art and fashion, and will continue in our mission to stir positive debate on these and other issues.”
To suggest that this was merely offensive because it was released on MLK Day is even more disgusting. Of course the Miroslava Duma, editor and founder of online fashion publication Buro 24/7, sent her apologies as well to the stupid people who don’t understand great art:
“Dear all, Buro 24/7 team and I personally would like to express our sincerest apology to anyone who we have offended and hurt,” she writes on Instagram. “It was ABSOLUTELY not our intention. We are against racism or gender inequality or anything that infringes upon anyone’s rights. We love, respect and look up to people regardless of their race, gender or social status. The chair in the photo should only be seen as a piece of art which was created by British Pop-Artist Allen Jones, and not as any form of racial discrimination.”
Duma is also Russian, so it’s plain to see why Americans and Russians are often so far apart in our opinions. How can one look at the chair and not see it as a form of “racial discrimination.” If it is art, I assume it’s meant to be activist art and you’re not supposed to sit on it.
Who’s stupid now.

Cannabis Education Courses Will Soon Be Available For Canadian Employers
A Canadian consulting firm from Alberta, Cannabis at Work, will soon start offering educational cannabis courses designed for employers, reports CBC.
The program will help Canadian companies have a better understanding of the implications of, and regulations involved, once adult-use cannabis is legalized this fall. The classes will be focused on helping companies navigate the new laws and its impact on the workplace should employers find themselves with workers who consume cannabis either recreationally or medicinally. The program is set to start next month at the University of Calgary.
According to Karen Stokke, learning manager for the firm, there is a need to educate employers about the concerns regarding cannabis use in the workplace. “There’s definitely people that have taken the time to educate themselves,” she says. “I certainly think there’s a gap there, though, for a lot of employers.”
Stokke adds that Canadian employers will be given flexibility in creating their own guidelines for their workers, but that the law states that employers will need to be reasonable in accommodating the workers who use it medicinally. However, the case is different when it comes to workers using it recreationally. “It’s to help mitigate the risks for companies, if they have a medical cannabis user, or if they run into recreational cannabis users in the workplace,” she says.
Cannabis At Work also offers assistance to the cannabis industry in the form of staffing and human resource services, which started out last spring. Founder Alison McMahon disclosed to The Globe and Mail that it has long been a desire of hers to offer matching services for cannabis companies seeking talent, although back then the industry wasn’t ready yet for these services. “I had always had the staffing component in the back of my mind, but two years ago the market wasn’t mature enough to need a staffing agency,” she said. McMahon said that quality assurance positions, specifically, are in very high demand “given that cannabis production is such a highly regulated industry.”
McMahon says that there are many other jobs for highly skilled professionals in Canadian cannabis companies. “We’re also hiring positions like chemical engineers, process scientists, mechanical engineers. And we’re definitely hiring on the cultivation side, so that could be like a head grower position,” she says.
Other Ways Cannabis Companies Can Prepare Ahead For Legalization
With only a few months to go until cannabis is fully legalized in Canada, employers shouldn’t wait until the last minute to draft or adjust existing policies to accommodate cannabis consumption.
But while many employers feel intimidated about all the big new changes ahead, the very answers they need may already be existing in their current policies.
“There is a little bit of fear about this being something completely new that HR professionals haven’t dealt with before, and I just don’t think that’s true, given the fact that we’ve been dealing with alcohol and prescription drug use in workplaces for many, many years,” says Holly Reid, partner at Blake, Cassels & Graydon.
She adds that companies’ existing drug and alcohol regulations are “directly applicable” to cannabis. HR professionals need to have a good understanding of how cannabis legalization will impact businesses, she adds. “There are steps that can be taken now to assist the company in ensuring that it has its ducks in a row before it starts getting questions from employees, and at the same time, educating employees slowly about the expectations, about how things will change, and how, frankly, things may not change as a result of legalization of marijuana,” Reid says.
Most importantly, businesses across the board and in every industry will need to have a thorough understanding of what exactly is legal. It will be more important than ever to stay abreast of changing legalization. But employers should also treat recreational cannabis at work just like they would with any other controlled substance including alcohol. The safety of employees lies in the hands of employers, and they also have the right to impose zero-tolerance policies when it comes to impairment or intoxication at work.
A clearly-defined drug and alcohol policy should be shared with all employees to establish the guidelines especially about what is accepted in the workplace, who employees can speak to if they have questions, and the consequences of non-compliance.

Primary Arms Silver Series 1-6x FFP Riflescope w/ ACSS Reticle – Review – Actually, that was my experience with low variable power optics (from here on LVPOs), until Primary Arms sent me their new Silver Series 1-6x24mm FFP Rifle Scope with an Illuminated ACSS-RAPTOR.
The .308 Winchester was introduced by Winchester in 1952. Though the predecessor, this cartridge It was replaced by the M16/5.56 combo and is now only used in machine guns, designated marksman.
This video takes a look at the benefits of the .223 and the .308 rifle rounds.
There’s a hunting CB, which lets you fire ammunition like .223 and .308; a battle CB, which chambers 5.56 and .308, among.
5.56 Orange Tip The 5.56-mm tracer, M856 (A064) cartridge has a 63.7 grain bullet without a steel penetrator. It is identified by an orange tip. The tracer is used for adjustments after observation, incendiary. Red or orange tips are tracers. EDIT: while the green tipped rounds are indeed ball ammunition, that is not what the green tip signifies.
Best AR 15 Upper Receiver Assemblies You Should Own – Standard 5.56mm lowers can’t accept larger .308 uppers, and vice versa. But there are plenty of uppers in all sorts of calibers that will work perfectly with standard 5.56 lowers, and the lineup seems.
Radical Firearms RF Silencers, Two Low-Cost Gun Suppressors – As an avid NFA enthusiast, we like the simplicity of the Radical Firearms RF Silencers designs.
An occasional shot of 5.56 did sound a little louder at times, but that is just the nature of sound.
The 5.56×45mm NATO (official NATO nomenclature 5.56 NATO) is a rimless bottlenecked intermediate cartridge family developed in the late 1970s in Belgium by FN Herstal.
This Ultimate Doomsday Rifle Shoots 21 Different Of Ammo – There’s a hunting CB, which lets you fire ammunition like .223 and .308; a battle CB, which chambers 5.56 and .308, among others; and a survival CB, which is designed to fire ammunition you’re most.
We Know Which AR-15s Is the Best on the Planet – 308 caliber rifle, the “Stag 10” is now available in a left.
This manufacturer also offers a wide range of barrels from the 16” 5.56 M4 Nitride Barrel with a 1.9 twist to the 24” 5.56 SS Bull.
Dagny Dagger Ammo Allows Legal Access To Armor-Penetrating Bullet – The work will begin on 9mm Luger with future plans for Dagny Dagger loadings in 10mm/.40SW, 5.56, .308, and possibly 5.7. The Dagger will also debut APHP (Armor-Penetrating Hollow Point) bullets, a.
Steel armor holds up well to multiple hits, for the rounds it can stop it can often stop a bunch of them. This is the 6.5lb III+ plate from Tactical.
308, which is a visual match for their 5.56 monolithic upper receiver. The picture below with the dark background shows the 5.56 and new .308 monolithic upper together. The receivers shown are Mega.
When it comes to .308 Win vs 5.56 Nato, which one is better? That's often the question gun enthusiasts ask. These are not the only two rifle cartridges in the world, but they are among the most popular ones.


But, there is a holiday so that means a three-day and a four-day total. In this case, the winner will still be "Ride Along." It will break "Cloverfield's" total for the Martin Luther King Jr holiday when all it said and done. Just last weekend, "Lone Survivor" became the second-best January opening so now that drops to third best after "Ride Along" and "Cloverfield."
"Lone Survivor" is now split along political party lines and so far, and it favors one side. Let's leave it at that since this is not a report about politics. However, Hollywood got slapped around by its success and many are not happy. They tend to ignore that group and many times it backfires on them.
Other newcomers didn't exact bomb except for "Devil's Due." It tanked and proved that all horror films do not have fantastic debut weekends before falling flat. "The Nut Job" beat "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit" for the battle of those two wide releases.
1. "Ride Along" - three-day, $41.2 million; four-day estimate, $48 million
2. "Lone Survivor" - three day, $23.2 million; four day, $27.5 million
3. "The Nut Job" - three day, $20.5 million; $26.6 million
4. "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit" - three day, $17.2 million; four-day, $19.5 million
5. "Frozen" - three day, $11.9 million; four-day, $18 million
Before this goes on, let's hear it for "Frozen." This film will be studied on how to make a hit animated movie that has staying power. But the team of Kevin Hart and Ice Cube did indeed melt the box office right now.
OK, the Oscar-nominated films enjoyed some headlines and bounce. "August: Osage County" picked up many more theaters, while "Gravity" and "Dallas Buyers Club" also added some. It was "American Hustle" which fared the best of out those. It also did better than the boost for "Wolf of Wall Street."
If one really wants to track movies in which audiences flocked too that are nominated, that would be animated films. Both ""Frozen:" and "Despicable Me 2" are well over $300 million. Of the nine best films nominated, only "Gravity" ($258 million) can compete on that level.
So, what happens now on that front? Official screenings of all motion pictures with one or more nominations will begin for members on Saturday, Jan. 25. They will take place in Beverly Hills, Hollywood, London, New York and the San Francisco Bay area. Active members of the Academy are eligible to vote for the winners in all categories.

The AOC CU34G2X is a great ultrawide gaming monitor. It has a 144Hz panel with Adaptive Sync support, so even though it’s not officially certified by AMD nor NVIDIA for variable refresh rate (VRR) support, FreeSync and G-SYNC still both work on it.
It has low input lag, and although it has a quick overall response time, there’s visible black smearing, which is typical of VA panels. Speaking of which, it has a high native contrast ratio, but that means it has narrow viewing angles, so it’s not ideal for co-op gaming. The 34 inch screen and 3440×1440 resolution help deliver an immersive gaming experience, and it has a fairly aggressive 1500R curve to bring the edges of the screen within your field of vision.

- Thunderbolt 3 technology provides compatibility with MacBook and PC
- 100 hertz
The Samsung C34J791 is a decent monitor for mixed usage. It has a large ultrawide screen with ample resolution that favors multitasking but unfortunately, it has poor viewing angles. It is very responsive to your actions but you should avoid placing it in a very bright room as it cannot fight bright room glare.
It has great gray uniformity, which is great for browsing the web, but the bad viewing angles make it unsuitable for working side by side with a colleague. It has great motion handling with a fast 100Hz refresh rate, supports FreeSync and has a low input lag to please gamers.
Pros & Cons
- PANORAMIC SCREEN: Immersive ultra wide 35" curved monitor and 3440x1440 resolution with 1800R curvature, wide viewing angle, 21: 9 aspect ratio, ultra-slim bezel

- Lightning Fast: 100Hz refresh rate gives you the edge
- SMOOTH GAME PLAY: AMD Free Sync empowers intensely smooth gameplay, eliminating choppy tearing and broken frames, HDR technology offers greater brightness and contrast level for clear, vivid images
- Connectivity technology: usb type c
The generous selection of ports includes two HDMI 2.0 ports, one DisplayPort, one USB Type-C port, two ordinary USB 3.0 ports, and a headphone jack. They are all in back, facing downward under a strip of metal, which is never an ideal arrangement but felt unusually cumbersome with this display.
With the monitor upright, I wasn’t able to see the ports from the back, nor insert an HDMI cable in its port by touch alone. I had to turn the monitor screen-down to connect the cable, and gingerly at that, as its mount felt a bit flimsy. That, combined with the monitor’s size and weight, made port access unwieldy.
Best Affordable Ultrawide Monitors – Ultrawide monitors generally have 1/3rd more screen space in width than a normal widescreen monitor. They provide more horizontal space as compared to normal or dual monitors. They have been launched in last 3 to 4 years and have seen rapid adoption.

The Latest on the Trump administration opposing a massive California water project (all times local):
Opponents of California’s plan to build two giant water tunnels are weighing the effect of the Trump administration’s opposition to the project.
Doug Obegi of the Natural Resources Defense Council, which has fought the $16 billion tunnel plan, says the government’s position at minimum complicates the project. He says the state should work transparently to reconsider it.
Gov. Jerry Brown wants local water agencies to pay to build the tunnels to tap into the Sacramento River in Northern California and send water south.
Interior Department spokesman Russell Newell describes the project as a legacy of the Obama administration. He said Wednesday that the Trump administration opposes it.
Brown spokesman Evan Westrup and other state officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
A spokesman for the U.S. Department of the Interior says the Trump administration will not support California’s massive planned water project, reversing the Obama administration’s backing for the initiative.
Interior Department deputy communications director Russell Newell said Wednesday that the Trump administration “chose not to move forward” with California Gov. Jerry Brown’s proposed $16 billion project to build two giant tunnels.
The statement marks the first public position by the Trump administration on the tunnels project.
The decision is the latest and one of the most significant setbacks for Brown’s hopes of re-engineering the state’s north-south water delivery system. The tunnels still require additional federal approval to move forward, though individual water districts are supposed to pay the costs of the project.


ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — City leaders in Annapolis are launching a “Walk Annapolis” campaign to highlight the walkability and shop-ability of the state capital.
Annapolis Mayor Joshua Cohen plans to launch the campaign Wednesday morning on Main Street. The campaign seeks to boost local businesses by promoting the ease of walking the city’s shopping districts. A new poster developed for the campaign shows a map of the city’s five distinct shopping and dining districts — City Dock and Main Street, Maryland Avenue and State Circle, West Annapolis, West Street and Eastport.
MainStreets Annapolis chairman Steve Samaras says the walk from Church Circle to City Dock is no further than the walk between some stores at a nearby mall.

Hidden behind the good economic news is a disturbing new phenomenon – one more far-reaching — and disturbing — than the latest up or down of the business cycle. It is that our economy is now increasingly bipolar, with a traditional economy at one end and a virtual one at the other.
We see this most vividly during the holiday shopping season, where Cyber-Monday Web sales increasingly outstrip Black Friday in-store sales three days before. But this is only the most celebrated manifestation of this change in the economy. The reality is far more pervasive — and it portends a massive transformation in modern society. One for which we are unprepared.
It all seems benign; even an improvement over what came before. After all, why fight your way through a crowded store, or burn gasoline driving to a store — only to find the item sold out? It is so much easier to just find the item on Amazon, press the order button and find it at your door in a day or two. Increasingly, even perishables such as groceries are being ordered the same way.
As with much of the digital revolution, a lot of this change has crept up on us quietly. One day it isn’t there and the next it is. Somehow, almost without noticing, we have fully assimilated it into our lives — and can’t imagine (or if we are older, scarcely remember) what life was like before the Internet, smartphones, social networks, digital music, network-only television, analog automobiles, robots. . .and all of the other accepted aspects of 21st century life.
We chalk all of this up to the evolution of technology, and we thank our lucky stars that we live in the era of Moore’s Law, which delivers thrilling new products and services every few years.
We call these changes substitutional equivalences — meaning that we have substituted one technology for another that appears, on its surface, to provide the same experience — only cheaper, faster, smarter and more efficient. And we are the lucky recipients of these changes.
But these substitutional equivalences are not the same as what they have replaced. Indeed, many are fundamentally different — not least because they exist and operate in cyberspace, not in the physical world. And the virtual world is very different place: with a very different purpose, rules and impact on the human brain. Moreover, these virtual products and services increasingly exhibit their own intelligence and autonomy . . .and are getting better at both by the year.
In other words, these products and services are not merely evolutionary improvements over what came before, but revolutionary new creations. Individually, these discrete revolutions are usually so rewarding — Wow! Look at all the new apps for my phone! — that we can easily overlook their often less-than-positive consequences (social isolation, rewiring our kids’ brains, a surveillance state, etc.)
But, put all of these discrete technologies together, and multiply their effects by billions of users, and the result is a massive cultural and civilization shift that is already happening around us. We call this a Social Phase Change: a cultural transformation that is so sweeping that it changes everything — including all the rules we live by. It is an event so profound that it has only happened twice in human history: the agricultural and industrial revolutions. We believe we have now entered the third such transformation: an Autonomous Revolution, in which we increasingly hand over our future to intelligent machines.
These Social Phase Changes are wrenching experiences, presenting enormous challenges to humanity — and often producing vast blood-letting and misery. They also offer the possibility of huge advances in human existence: longer lives, greater wealth and increased happiness. But getting to this better world will mean making our way successfully through a minefield.
We are already in that dangerous zone. And one of the first challenges we face, one that is already upon us, is an increasingly bipolar economy.
What that means is that we have today, having emerged over the last quarter-century, an economy that is characterized by a traditional economy that operates under long-established rules in the real world . . .and a second economy, an Autonomous Economy, with very different rules, that operates in cyberspace — and promises to become even larger than the traditional one. In the process, the two economies are pulling in opposite directions, and doing so, tearing the Old Order apart.
In particular, the traditional economy is biased toward inflation. By comparison, the Autonomous Economy is biased toward deflation. The traditional economy provides us with most of the basic necessities of life — food, shelter, health care, clothing, transportation, and energy. Money spent on these necessities accounts for almost 80 percent of middle-class expenditures. And the costs of all of them are rising.
Conversely, the Autonomous Economy increasingly provides the higher-level options of life: entertainment, education, employment, interpersonal relations, and community. These offerings perpetually improve and grow more valuable to the user, yet simultaneously plummet in price. That solitary transistor of 1956 has become the microprocessor of 2020 containing billions of transistors — for the same price. The $3500 desktop computer is now the $700 laptop computer with 100X the processing power. And most stunning of all, is the growing pervasiveness of freeware, from on-line games to social networks.
The presence of this growing alternative economy may be exciting, but it also disguises the fact that the traditional economy hasn’t really changed — and in that world things are getting worse. The problem is non-monetizable productivity — unlike in the real world, the productivity gains in the Autonomous Economy don’t translate to increased incomes for average folks. That’s why, even as the numbers look may look good in GDP calculations, those gains aren’t reflected in worker’s lives.
In fact, just the opposite is true. Between 2012 and 2014, the median home price rose by 17.3 percent, while weekly wages rose by only 1.3 percent. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, food prices rose 31 percent between 2005 and 2014, or about 8 percent more than inflation. The cost of health insurance has risen by more than 54 percent in the past five years.
The middle class, in particular, is mired in this bipolar trough. Real median household income is below the level it was in 2000—$56,671 versus $57,372. Since 2000, the number of lower-income families has increased from 31 percent to 34 percent of the population, while the number of middle-income families has declined from 45 percent to 43 percent. The average weekly hours worked by production employees has declined from 38.8 in the 1960s to 33.7 today. Inflation-adjusted annual earnings for production employees peaked in the 1970s and is down by 14.6 percent.
This situation is only going to get worse as automation and artificial intelligence increasingly assume traditional jobs, not just blue-collar ones, but professions. The estimates of the job losses that are to come are staggering. A study by Frey and Osborne looked at 702 occupations and concluded that 47 percent of American jobs might be automated in the future. Another study, by McKinsey, estimates that 400 to 800 million jobs around the world — and a third of current jobs in the U.S. — will be lost to automation by 2030. Already, human beings are being squeezed out of entire job categories — an estimated 2 million people in the U.S. are displaced every year by productivity improvements.
The future? Imagine that our entire economy looks like Amazon, Google, Facebook, and Netflix, companies that are highly productive thanks to virtualization and intelligent machines. Those companies require $600,000 to $1 million increases in income to create a new job, not the $150,000 we find in the average corporate job today. GDP would have to grow at a rate of between 6.8 percent and 11.3 percent to absorb all those displaced workers. No modern developed economy has ever maintained that level of growth. While those companies may create dozens of billionaires and thousands of millionaires, they cannot save the middle class.
What is particularly disconcerting about this jobs scenario is what is missing compared to the past. Two hundred years ago, when jobs were vanishing in agriculture, they were on the rise in the manufacturing. Then, as the latter area matured, new jobs were created in the service industries.
Eighty percent of the U.S. workforce, 104 million people all-told, now work in services. But as more and more of those jobs are automated, we need a new area of economic growth to absorb those excess workers. Unfortunately, that area appears to be the burgeoning workerless segment – millions of people rendered ZEV’s — Zero Economic Value citizens, who will never find work, no matter their skills.
Will the bread and circuses of consumer technology — wall-sized TV screens, virtual vacations, autonomous vehicles, drone deliveries — make up for radically reduced disposable income and wealth, for lives without the purposefulness of The Good Job? Will they find a meaningful life in another way?
Perhaps jobs created by the new infrastructure that needs to be built, or a new wave of jobs created by entrepreneurs, will forestall this crisis for another generation. But make no mistake: the Autonomous Revolution is coming — and all of the rules are about to change. We need to prepare, now.

The original firing pins are brittle, that only means don’t dry fire on an empty chamber. Pretty easy, plus, new pins are about $15.
I’ve never heard about catostophic failures, are you sure you’re not talking about firing SMG ammo in a Tokarev?
The CZ-52 was designed with roller pins in order to use any and all ammo. At least, that is my understanding.

CSIRO's re-embracing of climate change research will be underlined on Monday when the national science agency announces a new centre partly funded by Chinese interests.
Based in Hobart, the $20 million centre will examine the role oceans will play in future climate change, including their influence on floods and drought. It will be half funded by China's Qingdao National Laboratory for Marine Science and Technology.
The Centre for Southern Hemisphere Oceans Research will also look at the capacity of seas to keep absorbing carbon dioxide – more than 90 per cent of heat has been taken up by oceans in recent decades – and the expected impact of melting Antarctic ice shelves.
The announcement comes a year after CSIRO came under fire for a proposed restructure that involved a shift away from "science for science sake" and towards corporate partnerships and work that could be sold.
Climate change measurement was among the areas facing cuts because, chief executive Larry Marshall said, the problem was "proven" and resources should be dedicated to finding solutions to global warming.
Some scientists, including world renowned sea level expert John Church, left before the scale of the cuts was reduced following a public backlash and the intervention of then industry minister Greg Hunt. A new Climate Science Centre was created, with its headquarters in the Tasmanian capital. The oceans laboratory will sit within that.
CSIRO has committed $8.25 million to the Chinese partnership, with the balance from the universities of NSW and Tasmania.
In a statement, Dr Marshall said the centre would tackle fundamental questions about the future climate. "The oceans in the southern hemisphere play a crucial role in the climate system, absorbing more heat and carbon dioxide than any other region in the world," he said.
"It is also an exciting opportunity to work with China's leading marine science and technology organisation, and cultivate our close research relationship with China, which has been going strong for more than 40 years."
It follows CSIRO's announcement in November it had signed a technology licensing agreement with Chinese solar company Thermal Focus allowing it to use the agency's patented solar concentrating technology in its local market.

Can optometrist detect eye cancer?
Ocular melanoma can be detected with a dilated eye exam by an optometrist. Because ocular melanoma may not cause any obvious signs or symptoms at first, the disease is often detected during a routine eye exam.
What happens if you have eye cancer?
The most common sign of eye cancer is a change in your vision. You may not be able to see well, or you might see flashes of light or spots (floaters). You also may notice a new dark spot in one eye or a change in its size or shape.
Can Pinguecula turn into cancer?
A pingueculum is a yellowish patch on the white (sclera) of the eye. Found between the eyelids, it is most often on the nasal side (closest to the nose), but can be found on the temporal (closest to the ear) side. Pingueculum are not cancer. It is a sun-related alteration of the normal conjunctival tissue.
Can a tumor in the eye be benign?
Benign Eye Tumors A non-cancerous, benign tumor of the eye is a growth that does not spread to other parts of the body.

Haikara-san ga Tōru (はいからさんが通る), also known as Smart-san or Mademoiselle Anne, is a Japanese shōjo manga series by Waki Yamato. It was serialized by Kodansha in the magazine Shōjo Friend from 1975 to 1977. The title can be literally translated into English as Here Comes Miss Modern, Here Comes Miss High-Collar ("haikara" being the Japanese version of "high collar"), or Fashionable Girl Passing By. In 1977, it was awarded the 1st Kodansha Manga Award for shōjo.
The series was later adapted into an anime television series in Japan, produced by Nippon Animation, TV Asahi, and other local stations across the country from June 3, 1978 to March 31, 1979. The anime was later rebroadcast across Japan on the anime satellite television network Animax and on NHK satellite channel BS2. The manga was also adapted into three television drama specials and theatrical film. Two new anime films have been announced with the first film to be released in 2017 and second film in 2018. In 2017, the story was also adapted for the musical theatre of the Takarazuka Revue.
Set in the 1920s during the Taisho era, the story follows the high-spirited Benio Hanamura, who lost her mother at a very young age and was raised by her father, a high-ranking official in the Japanese army. As a result, she has grown into a tomboy -- contrary to traditional Japanese notions of femininity, she studies kendo, drinks sake, preferring literature over housework, and dresses in often outlandish-looking Western fashions instead of the traditional kimono. She also rejects the idea of arranged marriages and believes in a woman's right to a career and to marry for love.
One day after falling down a tree, she was caught by a handsome half-German lieutenant named Shinobu Ijuin. Although disliking Shinobu at first and their moments together progressed through a series of embarrassing situations, Benio was further surprised that Shinobu is actually her future husband through an arranged marriage. It was an encounter of destiny as their relationship took many twists and turns, through great distances and complications in the near future.

Editor’s Note June 17: Racer Sessions are currently on pause in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. For updates visit http://www.racersessions.com/
By Ian Gwin
This January, the curated improv-jam Racer Sessions celebrated a decade of weekly meetings at Ravenna’s Café Racer with the Cry and Roar X festival. Having persevered through everything from a shooting that temporarily closed the venue in 2012 to another period of closure in 2017 due to financial struggles, the Racer session community continues to persevere together through the ongoing crisis created by the COVID-19 pandemic, reinventing themselves with weekly live-streamed concerts and jam sessions.
“Everybody brings their own thing to it, because it’s all about listening, adapting, respecting each other, [and] responding in appropriate ways,” co-founder of Table and Chairs and organizer Evan Woodle said about the jam.
For the first few weeks after the stay home, stay healthy order, Woodle admits he was “zapped” of creative energy. Despite the COVID-19 closure of Café Racer and venues across town, and strict social distancing orders in place, the community eventually brainstormed creative solutions to overcome these obstacles. On March 29th, Woodle and the Racer team opened a livestream to players from across the country, playing from their homes. The reimagined program is titled Racer Sessions: The Zoom Sessions.
“I hadn’t attended the Sessions since I moved to Chicago in late 2018,” said pianist Andrew Olmstead, who played that first Sunday. “Attending them again has been wonderful and surreal… The happiness is also accompanied by a modicum of melancholy, because it reminds me of when I could play music with someone and hug them afterwards.”
After spreading bookings between each team member for two weeks, Woodle and his fellow organizers came up with a new format to keep the session going online: in addition to an opening set, a set of curated performers play shorter, 10-15 minute sets before the free-improv jam. The time of the session has been moved up to 4pm PST, allowing those who have relocated from Seattle, such as Olmstead, to reconnect.
“With technology—besides the security stuff—it’s almost impossible to get everybody on the same page as far as the video and audio quality,” Woodle says, noting that, though improvisation thrives on barriers, current video-conference technology simply doesn’t allow large scale group playing.
In the week following, trombonist and composer Christian Pincock tested this idea, conducting his improvised orchestra scrambler over Zoom from his living room. “What we’re really talking about is relativity, Einstein,” Pincock says. “We have different local times, and it’s going to be different depending on where you are. What’s interesting is that the recording, the broadcast, has to take a perspective, it has to take a vantage point, because it’s mixing these different times in space and choosing which one’s going to be the master.”
With lockdown, Pincock took to work quickly. The problem of how to keep working artistically had become, he says, “a necessity.” That day, his performers’ sounds came back with a noticeable lag. But, as a conductor, he couldn’t wait.
“I can’t react to what I’m hearing, I have to anticipate it,” he explained. Not only that, but in the camera eye, his work as a conductor has taken a likeness to dancing; with a nod to the new visuals, Pincock has also taken to painting live during improvised sets.
Prompting his players with songs about change and an ancient Gregorian chant on mourning, Pincock drew out variations on the current time. For the following week, saxophonist and composer Bryan Lineberry took his sound into a new space, improvising around the five stages of grief (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance) on top of his car in his apartment parking lot. That is, until bargaining, when a neighbor came and requested him to stop so he could resume watching television.
“Life is spilling from one container to another,” notes Pincock.
Lockdown has brought players separated in space back into conversation with one another. For May 3rd’s session, Racer’s live jam combined with the “FreeSessions” of the Missoula based Lakebottom Sound, a project helmed by Naomi Moon Siegel, a trombonist formerly based in Seattle, after an opening set with Sean Howard’s Ptesseract.
“[We’re] thinking about the people in the community, making sure everybody is healthy and able to stay together,” Woodle summarized, emphasizing the welcoming atmosphere of the sessions. His biggest hope is the survival of small businesses, like Café Racer, and he recommends that participants continue their financial support, since “if you were there, you’d buy a drink or two, maybe a little food.”
For those taking part, the combined experiment of community continues. For last week’s stream, percussionist Ruby Lucinda played an opening set on improvised drums to the fourth-wall breaking spoken word and dance of Allison Burke, ending their set with the digital-mike-drop of a cut signal. Spoken word artist Ian Murdoch gave a surrealist sermon to an improvised soundtrack, and organizer Casey Adams shared a Frank Zappa video on live chat after trombonist Haley Freedlund played a bicycle wheel she was repairing.
“It really feels like this community, we’re not going anywhere,” says Pincock. “We will adapt to anything that’s thrown our way”

Although the cause of macrocephaly is found to be benign in many cases, the large differential diagnosis includes conditions that can be life-threatening. Prompt recognition and timely diagnosis can lead to a better prognosis in many cases.
Our recent issue Emergency Department Management of Children With Macrocephaly summarizes the available literature on macrocephaly and provides recommendations for the evaluation, diagnosis, and appropriate disposition of children with macrocephaly in the acute setting.

Here are a few key points:
- Prehospital care of the patient with macrocephaly should be focused on management of increased intracranial pressure (ICP) or seizures. Once increased ICP is identified, treatment is begun with attention to airway, breathing, and circulation.
- Thorough history and physical examination, focusing on examination of the skull and evaluation for developmental delay or neurologic deficits can help narrow the differential diagnosis of the child with macrocephaly.
- Table 2, page 8 in the issue summarizes physical examination findings associated with macrocephaly.
- Appendix 1, page 16 in the issue lists some developmental red flags, which, if present in the setting of macrocephaly, should prompt consideration of an underlying syndrome or condition.
- Head ultrasound, when available, is a good starting point for children with open fontanelles for the evaluation of hydrocephalus or tumor, but it has limited utility outside of this indication.

Within days of Kate Bosworth launching her luscious shoe collection, it's already a huge success.
The collaboration with Matisse includes everything from summer-style fringed boots to platform lace-up sandals and pointy-toed pumps.
Basically, Bosworth's collection is suitable for all seasons and we want it all.
The actress posted the above photo on her Instagram during the launch, with the collection hashtag #KBxMatisse, and boy did it get her fans excited.
Bosworth's collection is available on Nordstrom, and we're particularly lusting over these tanned boots with tassles down the side.
Unfortunately, we can't physically go shopping for these beauties as they are only available online but fear not, they can be shipped.
The 32-year-old old told the Hollywood Reporter "I'm trying to learn as much as I can with every new project. I’m always looking to improve. And that’s all I can really do, and look for people who want to create things in a like-minded way."
Bosworth has been teasing us for some time about her collection, posting photos to Instagram while wearing her own designs.
And it seems everyone else is catching on, posting photos of their #KBxMatisse collection shoes on Instagram.
