In 1935, British engineer Robert Watson-Watt was working on a "death ray" that would destroy enemy aircraft using radio waves. His "death ray" instead evolved into radar—or "radio detection and ranging.

From 1940-1945, the U.S. defense budget increased from $1.9 billion to $59.8 billion

Most historians agree that WWII began when Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939.

Others say it started when Japan invaded Manchuria on September 18, 1931.

And some scholars suggest WWII is actually a continuation of WWI, with a break in between.

The Truth about Job-Taking Machines, Globalization, and Mexican Trade | Robert Kaplan - Duration: 9:57.

So listen, during almost my entire lifetime globalization has been a key element of our

economy.

It started decades ago as many industries wound up—manufacturing in particular—off-shoring

jobs to take advantage of lower labor rates in other countries.

And so we lost manufacturing jobs in this country due to globalization.

But the other part of globalization is increasingly the S&P 500, the 500 largest companies domiciled

in the United States, are increasingly finding a larger share of their revenues and profits

are coming from outside the United States.

And the other part is our trade relationships, the nature of them, are changing due to globalization.

I'll take Mexico as an example.

Right now, of the imports to the U.S. from Mexico, 40 percent of those imports is U.S.

content.

So what is that about?

It means these are not just trade relationships.

These are integrated supply chains and logistics that, in our judgment at the Dallas Fed, are

making the U.S. more competitive, likely actually adding jobs in the United States and keeping

those jobs from going elsewhere, most likely to Asia.

The last part of globalization that we have to—a couple of more parts I'll talk about

is China is much bigger today than it was 10 years ago and 20 years ago, and I mean

much bigger as a percentage of global GDP.

China has been growing at much higher rates consistently than almost any other country

in the world except for maybe India.

It means they are a larger percentage of global GDP and they're a much larger percentage

of global GDP growth.

Okay, what's the impact of that?

They have been—in order to get that growth, and they've been growing recently, about

6.5 percent.

Unfortunately in order to achieve that growth they've been growing debt to GDP.

In other words they have been leveraging in various sectors to either build infrastructure

or to build capacity in many state-owned enterprises.

The impact of that is they've got dramatic overcapacity in a number of their industries

which creates global overcapacity.

And so China bears watching.

The world is going to have to get accustomed to lower levels of growth from China and also

because of currency outflows.

That has the potential, because the world is much more financially integrated, currency

outflows in China, which is what happened in the first quarter of 2016, have the potential

to create ripple effects and spillovers throughout the world and this happened in the first quarter

of 2016 where we saw financial turmoil in China translate into rapidly tightening financial

conditions globally.

So those are a number of elements of globalization.

What's the point of it all?

The point of it all is: you have to think about the economy in a much more global way.

Globalization is likely putting downward pressure on prices because we have more overcapacity.

And also our trading relationships have to be thought about differently because, particularly

in this hemisphere, it's actually helping U.S. companies become more globally competitive

and therefore is likely growing jobs in the United States.

So as a central banker, it's no longer an option in thinking about U.S. monetary policy

to think just about the United States.

I have to understand economic conditions around the world and the inner relationships between

economies and financial markets around the world because the ripple effects, the spillovers,

are much more likely to happen.

And this is one reason why when we talk about the currencies, particularly the U.S. dollar,

as a central banker I'm much more sensitive and aware of the impact on the dollar of central

bank actions and also much more sensitive and aware of the potential ripple effects

of either a strong or weak dollar not only on the United States but also on economies

around the world.

We're just much more globally interconnected and so we have to think about the economy

in a different way.

It's my view though, and I get to the third secular driver, the next one, which is technology-enabled

disruption.

Increasingly I think globalization is sometimes now being confused with technology-enabled

disruption.

What do I mean by that?

Twenty years ago, and in history, jobs were lost in a number of locations in the United

States because they were lost overseas.

And while there were a number of benefits of global trade and globalization in the United

States, we did a poor job in this country helping local communities and workers adjust

to the negative effects of globalization.

And I'll come back to that.

Today, if you lose your job in a city in this country it's probably as or more likely

that the reason you're losing your job is not globalization but it's technology-enabled

disruption.

It's changing.

People are attributing it to globalization but it's probably as or more likely to be

due to the fact that businesses are increasingly replacing workers with technology.

Whole industries are being disrupted out of existence.

Think: the film industry, the camera industry.

While it still exists it's been dramatically disrupted by digital technology and by handheld

phones.

But this is going on in retail, even in higher education.

It's going on in every industry.

And so what's happening is, I think it's accelerating.

Workers are far more likely today to lose their jobs or have their functions changed

because of technology-enabled disruption.

Technology is replacing people.

And in addition, because of technology-enabled disruption, consumers have much more pricing

power.

They have the ability to shop with technology.

That's putting much more pressure on businesses in terms of pricing pressure.

And businesses don't have as much pricing power, and that probably is rippling back

through impacts on workers and their wages, and it may even be encouraging businesses

to increasingly replace workers with technology.

So the reason this diagnosis is important, if you think that this is happening because

of globalization you might take one set of actions.

If it's happening because of technology-enabled disruption you might take a different set

of actions and, in particular, back to the trade relationship with Mexico: I've been

arguing that our trading relationship, as I said earlier, with Mexico helps improve

U.S. competitiveness and keep jobs here.

And if instead we misdiagnose that relationship and think that it's actually hurting U.S.

workers we might actually take steps to dismantle part of those trading relationships.

And I think unfortunately that may actually hurt U.S. GDP growth.

I don't think it's going to help workers locally or it may not help workers locally

because technology-enabled disruption is a bigger issue that's affecting our workforce.

On both those trends though, regarding both of them, it highlights the need for more workforce

development.

I think of the worker of today—if you've got a college education you have a better

chance to manage this.

If you have some college or your educational attainment is either high school or less than

high school you are much more likely to be at the end of this impact and have much less

ability to adapt to it.

So much more likely in people's careers—and when I was a professor at Harvard I used to

tell my students: you are far more likely to get fired than I was.

You will be.

You're far more likely to have to fire people than I was.

And you're far more likely to have the industry you start in not be the industry you end in,

because the industry you start in may not exist or it's going to be so different that

you're going to have to adjust.

So I think it's critical, first because of globalization but now in particular because

of technology-enabled disruption.

We need to do much more to help workers adjust to these trends and help them improve their

ability to adapt.

And the more educational attainment, either college or some type of skills training, the

more of that you have the much more likely you're going to be able to adapt to these

trends.

So that's the third trend, is technology enabled-disruption; but I think that and globalization

are related, and today I think some of the effects of technology-enabled disruption are

being attributed to globalization and I think in some cases inaccurately.

Could Life Have Survived in Mars's Ancient Lake? - Duration: 6:04.

For almost five years, the Curiosity rover has been exploring the bottom of Gale Crater

on Mars.

But if you look far enough back in time, you wouldn't be able to explore it with just

a rover — you'd need a submarine!

You wouldn't be looking at Gale crater anymore — it would be Gale Lake.

Scientists think that an ancient sea survived there for about 700 million years, from around

3.8 to 3.1 billion years ago.

And in a new paper out in the journal Science, researchers used what Curiosity's learned

about the rocks in Gale Crater to put together a history of the ancient lake.

Their results suggest that the lake had two distinct layers, each with its own chemistry.

And for those 700 million years, the conditions in the lake probably would have allowed life

to survive — if it ever did evolve on Mars.

With the water long gone, the researchers needed to look for clues left behind in the

planet's rocks.

Rivers and lakes are full of floating particles which settle onto the bottom over time to

form sediments.

Over time, these sediments pile up on one another, with each layer corresponding to

a different period in the lake's history.

Eventually, the immense weight of these piles, plus the water above them, starts to compress

the lower layers into solid rock, called sedimentary rock.

Essentially, sedimentary rocks are the fossilized remains of the lake bed — and on Earth,

that's where we find most fossilized life, like dinosaurs.

Even though we haven't found any evidence of life, Gale Crater's sedimentary rocks

can tell us a ton about what things were like in the lake billions of years ago.

Normally, to get to this ancient part of the rock record, you'd have to dig through kilometers

of solid rock -- which would be pretty tough for a car-sized rover!

That's what made Gale Crater the ideal landing site for Curiosity: there's a giant, 5.5-kilometer-tall

peak smack in the middle of it, named Mount Sharp.

Mountains are like time machines, exposing all that old rock for easy viewing.

So to study hundreds of millions of years of history, all Curiosity needs to do is drive

up the side of Mount Sharp and analyze rocks in different places.

When the researchers put together all that data, they found that Gale Lake was stratified,

meaning that the water formed distinct layers, and that those layers had different amounts

of oxygen.

Plain oxygen was poisonous to early life on Earth, but compounds containing oxygen, like

iron oxide or manganese oxide, might have been helpful for early forms of life as we

know it.

With its varying levels of oxygen, Gale Lake could have had some of those compounds, which

would've provided some life-friendly habitats.

The team also found that the Martian climate above the lake changed over time, bouncing

between colder, drier conditions and warmer, wetter ones.

But bodies of water can make environmental changes like these less extreme.

So despite the changes happening on the surface, the lake itself might have stayed habitable

for long periods of time — a hopeful sign in our search for evidence of life on Mars.

Meanwhile, other astronomers are learning about mysteries much farther from home.

In another recent paper published in the journal Science, a group of researchers studying a

distant star did something remarkable: they proved Einstein wrong.

Well, they proved him both right and wrong.

More than a hundred years ago, Einstein described how massive objects like stars bend the fabric

of the universe as part of his general theory of relativity.

One of general relativity's coolest predictions is that the light from far-off stars bends

as it passes objects closer to us, in what's known as gravitational microlensing.

Basically, a closer star's gravity can act as a lens for the light from a more distant

star, which leads to two major effects: the background star can look much brighter than

usual, and it can also look like its position shifts a little in the night sky.

Einstein thought that these effects would be too small for us to ever observe them.

But he had no idea that we'd develop space telescopes and digital imaging techniques

that are impossibly sensitive compared to the photographic plates of his era.

For decades now, we've been able to observe the brightening that comes from gravitational

lensing, but one part of Einstein's prediction remained stubbornly true: we just couldn't

see that shift in position.

It's rare for stars to align in just the right way, and even when they do, the shift

is so small that we haven't been able to detect it.

At least, until now.

Using the Hubble Space Telescope, the team saw one star change the apparent position

of another for the very first time.

In the process, they proved Einstein's prediction wrong, but they found more evidence that his

theory is right.

They also cleared up some major confusion about the star used as the lens.

Stein 2051 B is one of the closest and best-studied examples of a white dwarf, which is what stars

like our Sun turn into at the end of the lives.

But scientists have been really confused about its mass.

Based on its radius, 2051 B should weigh about two-thirds as much as our Sun.

But previous estimates put its mass at only about half of the Sun's — and that's

a big difference.

For a star with 2051 B's radius and that lower mass to form, it would have to start

off incredibly hot.

In fact, some estimates suggested that in order to cool down to its current temperature,

2051 B would need to be as old as the universe itself … which made no sense, since our

galaxy is about 600 million years younger than that.

Based on how 2051 B bent that background star's light, the researchers were able to get a

much more accurate measurement of the white dwarf's mass.

And it turns out that it does weigh about two-thirds as much as the Sun.

That's a win for understanding the lives of stars and a win for general relativity

— all around, a pretty good day for astronomy!

Director Corey Payette speaks about Children of God | Corey Payette nous parle de Children of God - Duration: 2:26.

The more Indigenous stories we have occupying the main stages of this country,

the more we root our Canadian identity to that of one

that holds space for Indigenous perspectives to be heard

and acknowledged and honoured.

I believe that when musicals work best they are

used to speak emotions that are beyond words.

So when a character can no longer speak,

they sing.

Music is a wonderful way to access the heart.

There is healing in song.

There is healing in music.

Children of God is really about understanding

this history of residential schools at a deeper level.

Recognizing that it is about all of us.

Coming to terms with this,

knowing this,

and then, moving forward with that knowledge.

How to learn Yamaha DX7 Synthesizer - Tutorial: FM Synthesis Sound Design E.Piano Improvement Live! - Duration: 2:30.

I'm going to do something different for several weeks.

I will set-up a live stream session for my DX7 & FM synthesis tutorial.

In the live session, You will follow my step-by-step instructions to make a new E.Piano patch.

Sounds exciting?

Here are different time zones for the live session this weekend.

We will spend about 1 hour for this session.

For New York, it will be this Saturday, 17th at 9:30 am

For Sydney, it will be this Saturday at 11:30 pm

For London, it will be this Saturday at 2:30 pm

For Tokyo, it will be this Saturday 10:30 pm – I cannot do a bilingual session, but

if there is enough demand, I can have a Japanese only session!

So what you need is Yamaha DX7 synths or TX modules with editors

If you don't have the DX7, but if you have Dexed, you can use that.

But please note that the patch you make on Dexed can be inferior to the DX7 patch, particularly

with its expression and chorusing effect.

If you have other DX7 compatible synths, please use them as welll.

So if you already thought about how you want to improve the e.piano patch, we can have

a chat about that before going through the tutorial session.

Feel free to bring your ideas.

If you need to revise, please have a look at those E.Piano tutorial videos.

See you later!

yeah they tell me its the life rich do everything they like

everything i do is wrong time to join them in the fight

still declining them despite their fishing poles to bite

with stories filled with holes like im flowing through this mike

shining sword im like a knight my spirit is my weapon

its made up in Damascus steel they made in heaven

im not talking bout possessions these words protect the code

these symbols cant be spoken no directions to this road

know the door, to know its closed reminds of "one of those"

the hunt you try to find it all before you decompose

where'd they hide it you suppose perhaps inside the rose

perhaps its deep inside you when you finally expose

what youve taken from your lows exchanging for your riches

the store is always open for your hope & inner wishes

under handing like some pitches the truth is on the mound

the ball will have some stitches but your hit will make a sound..nL

im the indiana jones exploring through the bones

the citys looking dead but its alive i hear their moans

as i walk amongst the clones some mortgaging their homes

some dimming out they're light some are living in their phone

leave your message at the tone proportions have been blown

imagine being under clouds of poison when its flown

can i be here all alone to question the unknown

to ask them why illegally they're tapping all my phones

they just laugh and carry on like the presidential lawns

emancipating wealth while its workers head to pawn

in the sands the line was drawn but no one payed attention

when someone came with white out in a corporate convention

and the news will never mention your rights and their descension

and when your shinning bright they might just Tesla your invention

go along with this oppression or wake up in the fight

cause no one needs some glasses when your 3rd eye is your sight..nL
