Protesters knock Zoom+ for not taking Medicare, Medicaid
Two Zoom+ locations, one in Portland and one in Seattle, sparked twin protests today from groups that are unhappy with the neighborhood clinic provider’s policy of not accepting Medicare and Medicaid.
“They’re really cherry picking, taking younger healthier people,” said Andrew Lemoins, coalition organizer with Portland Jobs with Justice, one of the sponsors of the Portland noon protest, outside the Zoom+ clinic at 3325 S.E. Hawthorne Blvd.

Dear Obama, Trudeau and Peña Nieto: Act Now to Save the Monarch Butterfly
MEXICO CITY -- More than 200 scientists, writers and artists have signed a letter addressed to Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, U.S. President Barack Obama and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, in advance of the North American Leaders' Summit in Ottawa later this month.
The signers urge that swift and energetic actions be taken to save the monarch butterfly from the threats that endanger its survival. All three countries must work together to mitigate the loss of the butterflies' breeding habitat and to terminate all logging and mining in the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve in Michoacan, Mexico.
Among the...

The Hawthorne Effect hinders accurate hand hygiene observation, study says
When healthcare providers know they are being watched, they are twice as likely to comply with hand hygiene guidelines. This is in comparison to when healthcare providers do not know someone is watching, according to a new study. This phenomenon -- called The Hawthorne Effect -- impacts the ability to capture accurate human behavior because individuals modify their actions when they know they are being observed.

SpaceX Successfully Lands Rocket on Drone Ship
(CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.) — SpaceX resumed station deliveries for NASA on Friday, and in a double triumph, successfully landed its booster rocket on an ocean platform for the first time.
The unmanned Falcon rocket soared into a clear afternoon sky, carrying a full load of supplies for the International Space Station as well as a futuristic pop-up room.
After sending the Dragon capsule on its way, the first-stage booster peeled away. Instead of dropping into the Atlantic like leftover junk, the 15-story booster steered to an upright touchdown on the barge, withstanding 50 mph gusts. Engines slowed its descent, supporting...

SpaceX Nails Historic At-Sea Rocket Landing
Before the dust even had time to settle from last week's Tesla Model 3 unveiling, billionaire tech magnate Elon Musk's other brainchild, SpaceX, celebrated another technological milestone. On Friday, SpaceX successfully delivered a cargo ship, carrying an experimental, balloon-like habitat, to the International Space Station and pulled off a nearly impossible at-sea landing of its rocket booster. "Fifth time's a charm!" a SpaceX webcast commentator said, as cheers erupted at company headquarters in Hawthorne, California. (Story continues below.) The 1st stage of the Falcon 9 just landed on our Of Course I Still...

[Report] Nematicity in stripe-ordered cuprates probed via resonant x-ray scattering
In underdoped cuprate superconductors, a rich competition occurs between superconductivity and charge density wave (CDW) order. Whether rotational symmetry-breaking (nematicity) occurs intrinsically and generically or as a consequence of other orders is under debate. Here, we employ resonant x-ray scattering in stripe-ordered superconductors (La,M)2CuO4 to probe the relationship between electronic nematicity of the Cu 3d orbitals, structure of the (La,M)2O2 layers, and CDW order. We find distinct temperature dependences for the structure of the (La,M)2O2 layers and the electronic nematicity of the CuO2 planes, with only th...

Space X Ten Things
Written by Jeffrey Kluger / Illustrations by Bronson Stamp
SpaceX has been putting wins on the board ever since the company—founded by serial entrepreneur Elon Musk—became the first privately funded group to put a payload in Earth orbit, in 2008. Since then,the company has continued to impress, launching unmanned cargo vehicles to the International Space Station (ISS) and winning a contract from NASA to fly astronauts as well, as early as 2017. There have been setbacks—most disastrously last June when a cargo rocket bound for the ISS exploded en route, costing the crew much-needed supplies and shaking c...

A New 'Turning': Waldman's Jaguar and Alcalay's History
At a moment of catching her breath, Anne Waldman wrote in the first book of The Iovis Trilogy (2011) that transformation is a matter of altering molecular rhythm. Following that mammoth-type focus and "dance on the grave" of the great (male) poets of the epic long-form (Pound, Williams, Zukofsky, Olson others), Jaguar Harmonics: Person Woven of Tesserae (2014) is a more delicate and compacted filigree, arising from just such an attention to the "3-brane world" of string theory dynamics and strands that ordinarily escape our comprehension. Sure-footed in this re-weaving or re-constitution of the earth, it relies on the jagu...
