  1. Earlier this month The Gun Glove / AutoGlove turns any semi automatic weapon into a rapid fire weapon. http://gizmodo.com/this-trigger-happy-glove-lets-you-simulate-machine-gun-1797434487

  2. Almost 100 Unknown Volcanoes Have Been Found Hidden Under Antarctica - 138 volcanoes in total – 91 of which had never been detected before http://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-have-discovered-almost-100-unknown-volcanoes-hidden-under-antarctica “Theory suggests that this is occurring because, without ice sheets on top of them, there is a release of pressure on the regions’ volcanoes and they become more active.”

  3. Twenty-five thousand songs recorded onto 78RPM discs in the early 20th century have been released online, for free. http://www.newsworks.org/index.php/local/arts-culture/106319-philly-company-digitizes-collection-of-25000-old-records-and-growing-free-to-download

  4. And to the YouTube copyright claimant, "AdRev for Rights Holder", here is your dispute. Reason for dispute:
    This video contains the material at issue, but the material is in the public domain or is not eligible for copyright protection.
    Explanation:
    This was played through the Internet Archive Project, The Great 78. I am under the understanding the work is in the public domain due to age. Additionally as commentary through this news broadcast is over the tracks, this constitutes fair use under the DMCA and is cited by the hosts in their commentary. Here is a link to the track played. https://archive.org/details/BillBrownAndHisBrownies-HotLips

What happened this week:

  1. Charlottesville, Va - White Supremacists turned out to protest the removal of a Robert E. Lee statue, and it got ugly and people died. http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/08/charlottesville-attack-170813081045115.html

  2. The President didn’t say the right thing as usual. Not condemning the white supremacists involved in Charlottesville. They took to their websites and were pleased that he embraced them and not condemn them.

  6. All 16 of the prominent artists, authors, performers and architects on the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities resigned on Friday, the latest group to protest Donald J. Trump’s defense of white nationalists after the violent demonstrations in Charlottesville, Va. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/18/arts/white-house-arts-committee-resigns.html

US Unfunded Liabilities (GAAP) $107,176,295,247,453 (about 7pm tonight)

Definition

The amount, at any given time, by which future payment obligations exceed the present value of funds available to pay them. For example, a pension plan's payment obligations, including all income, death and termination benefits owed, are compared to the plan's present investment experience, and if the total plan obligations exceed the projected plan assets at any point in time, the plan has an unfunded liability.

Used in context: “Based on revenue projections from the Social Security Administration and the fact that the very populous Baby Boomer Generation has begun to reach retirement age, the economist argued that the U.S. Social Security system would soon become an unfunded liability unless comprehensive reforms were made.”
