(NOTE: Repeated reminder, with content unchanged. This notice differs from
last week's by featuring this week's meeting, plus specification of when
our "usual time" is.)

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 876-574-6299
   - To join from PC, Mac, Linux, iOS, Chromebook, or Android, (do not use
   a version of Microsoft Edge that is earlier than 38.14393.0.0), use your
   browser to go to: https://zoom.us/j/8765746299
   - From your smartphone, tap this: +16468769923,,8765746299#
   - From a “dumb” telephone, call 1 646 876 9923 and enter meeting ID: 876
   574 6299

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).

* May 20, 2019  Boost-Phase Defense against ICBMs, presented by Dan
Kleppner. Because little was known publicly about the Bush proposal, the
American Physical Society initiated a study. Our presenter was co-chair of
the study group. Although the study is fifteen years old, little has
changed. *


*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. *
