[Jonathan Goode]

(NOTE: Repeated Reminder with no content change since previous one. This
notice differs from last week's by featuring the agenda for this week's
meeting and updated information on the next two meetings.)


* August 19, 2020  Videos on things of interest, selected and presented by
Peter Albin.*

We will meet at the usual 10AM Wednesday time, BUT ONLINE, using the Zoom
Video Conferencing Application, facilitated by Steve Isenberg.

There is an instruction page at https://toku.us/zoomish but note that the
URL and phone number shown are examples.


Some time after 9:45AM on Wednesday, choose one of the following options:

   - If you have the Zoom application installed, start it and join meeting
   with ID 972 6146 0830
   - From your browser, go to: https://zoom.us/j/97261460830
   - From your smartphone, tap this: +16468769923,,97261460830
   - From a “dumb” telephone, call 1 646 876 9923 and enter meeting ID: 972
   6146 0830

Once the connection is established, you may need to locate and use the
on-screen controls that turn on the sound and the video. You should be able
to see and hear others and they should be able to see and hear you, if you
have a camera and microphone (each of which you can unmute selectively).


If this email wasn't addressed to you and you would like to join the group,
or if you have a friend or colleague who might also be interested in
joining, it's easy.  Ask them to go to the group's wiki page at
http://LCTG.toku.us and follow the simple instructions under "Join the
Email List".  By being a member of the group you'll get reminders of
upcoming meetings and infrequent related messages. No advertising.  The
list is tightly managed.

Membership is free and given that all meetings are using Zoom you only need
to be connected to the Internet to join.  It's ok to join from anywhere you
can get a decent Internet connection, even if you're in orbit around Earth
or on another planet or a moon (if you're connecting from somewhere not on
Earth, we'd like to chat).

*Below are our plans for Upcoming Meetings, some of which are tentative. We
will continue to have an online presentation every Wednesday until it is
prudent for us to resume meeting in person.*



*August 26, 2020* *Climate Change. Presented by Shelly Lowenthal who says:
“I developed a class on climate change that I give to lifelong learning
organizations. It’s part of my History Course that I present. … There is
science involved.” This would be climate change from a non-alarmist point
of view. *




*Sept 2, 2020* * Count Rumford and his 18th Century Technology Innovations,
presented by Dan Kleppner, who says "Quite a few years ago I became
interested in Benjamin Thompson (1752-1814) , aka Count Rumford. He was a
great applied scientist and we owe much of our modern domestic technology
to him: the kitchen range, double boiler, layered clothing and thermal
underwear, steam heating,…. He was the first person to clearly understand
all the modes of heat transfer. He was a public benefactor, initiated poor
houses in many European cities, and he founded the Royal Institution in
London which supported the research of Michael Faraday His career was a
series of rags to riches. He would be better remembered if it were not for
a character flaw: he antagonized everyone he dealt with to such a degree
that he had to flee the country time and again." *
