Mysterious Light Trail in Californian Sky
A mysterious light trail in the sky was spotted
across California Wednesday night.
The streak was seen around the same time of the scheduled launch of
the Delta IV Heavy rocket, which was scrubbed moments before liftoff
around 5:45 p.m.
KCAL9’s Evelyn Taft reports the light is believed
to have been ice crystals that formed when a meteor hit the Earth’s atmosphere.
But the trail, which was reportedly seen from the Los Angeles region to
the San Francisco area, had imaginations in overdrive. People posted on social
media about the fiery-looking squiggle.
Griffith Observatory Curator Dr. Laura Danly believed there a perfectly
logical explanation for the streak.
“There was a huge, bright shooting star. We call it a bolide, which is
when it’s really big and bright and it’s a big chunk of something burning up in
the atmosphere,” Danly said.

The Technology That Could End Traffic Jam
We don’t move about and travel in the same way that we used to, yet our traffic management systems have struggled to keep pace with the relentless onslaught of vehicles they have to deal with now. Jam-busting measures are often slow to react to changes in road or weather conditions and many traffic lights still work on timers that are often out of synchronisation, preventing vehicles from flowing freely.
In 2015 there were an estimated 1.3 billion motor vehicles on the world’s roads and with growing affluence in developing economies that number is expected to soar to over 2 billion by 2040. Even with new roads and bypasses, this ever increasing level of traffic could quickly outstrip the ability of our road networks to cope in many busy areas, such as cities.
But by combining new communications technology with the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to crunch vast amounts of data in real time it may be possible to ease our clogged roads so they can cope with the growing number of cars.

I asked a friend of mine what he is doing. He told me, he is working on, "Aqua-thermal treatment of ceramics, aluminum and steel under a constrained environment".
I was impressed! On further asking, I learnt that he was washing dishes with hot water... under his wife's supervision!

Stock market woes raise a nagging fear: Is a recession near?
Wall Street's sustained slump has been fueled by investor concerns about lower corporate profits, higher corporate debt, a festering trade war between the United States and China and a broader global slowdown.
So is a U.S. recession imminent?
Not necessarily.
Plenty of economic gauges suggest that far from being derailed by a stock market that's set to suffer its first annual loss in a decade, the $20 trillion U.S. economy is barreling forward. Employers are hiring, consumers are spending ahead of the holidays and economic growth has been brisk, thanks in part to President Donald Trump's deficit-financed tax cuts.

Google Plans $1 Billion Investment to Build New York Campus
Google parent Alphabet Inc. said Monday that it will invest more than $1 billion to build a new campus in the Hudson Square area of New York that will be its primary global business hub.
Google said the campus will include office space at 315 and 345 Hudson Street in Lower Manhattan, as well as a new property at 550 Washington Street. The investment follows Google's $2.4 billion purchase of the Manhattan Chelsea Market earlier this year as well as plans to lease additional space at Pier 57.

It was my dad’s 71st birthday
last week. A very active person, he continues with his career, fitness regime
and social life as actively. Even on his birthday, he was going to be out in
the first half doing client visits, and major part of the second half in a
social event. So my sister’s family n mine were left with only the fag end of
the day to plan a celebration. So we
decided to assemble late in the evening at my place as kids wanted to plan some
surprise for Grand-dad with candles and stuff!
Since dad and mom were coming over after a
gala dinner at the social event, I planned to dish out some dessert. I had to
make one was light on the tummy and hopefully the girdle as well and still
would melt in the mouth!
Looking for something that can be served in
a double shot helping, I settled for making the very Italian Panna Cotta.

Half of America hasn't recovered from the recession
A decade after the financial crisis, the U.S. economy seems to be firing on all cylinders, with unemployment at a 50-year low and growth hitting its stride. But a deeper look reveals a more troubling picture: Between 2012 and 2015 -- a period when the recovery seemed to be gaining speed -- nearly half of all counties nationwide saw flat or declining growth, according to new government data.
More broadly, the Commerce Department figures highlight a stark and worrisome reality: While a handful of places around the U.S. are thriving, most regions are barely trudging ahead. And that trend is creating a widening geographic gap between a relatively few prosperous areas, mostly urban oases, and the desert of stagnation that lies beyond.
"For many communities, what you've got is a lost decade of economic growth," said John Lettieri, CEO of the Economic Innovation Group, a bipartisan think tank, adding that "the topline economy doesn't match the local experiences."
