MARCH 21 SAVE THE DATE  SPRING 2017 PRESIDENTS' CLUB FORUM 11:30 - 2:00pm Join us for an interactive CEO Roundtable forum with industry leaders from aerospace, legal, life sciences, public safety, international and political arenas to promote online industry trends that are shaping economic development in California and beyond... THE ATHENAEUM CLUB at CALTECH Pasadena, CA		Snapshot News from Technolink Members Managed at JPL and launched in August of 2011, the Juno spacecraft entered Jupiter's orbit on July 4, 2016. Jupiter is by far the largest planet in our solar system and was almost certainly the first planet to form. Juno's 20-month study of Jupiter, approaching as close as 5,000 km above the cloud tops, will improve our understanding of giant planet formation and evolution by studying Jupiter's origin, interior structure, atmospheric composition and dynamics, and magnetosphere. Juno incorporates significant radiation shielding in the spacecraft/instrument design to survive and operate reliably in Jupiter's intense radiation environment and is also the first solar powered mission to operate at Jupiter. ________________________________ Technolink member Steffan Tubbs is on a mission to raise awareness of the cross-generational battle with PTSD and and help save lives with the documentary film, ACRONYM. In the words of Duane France, combat veteran and mental health counselor, "War being hell, hell is not selective to a particular conflict or generation; the movie provides an in-depth look at the impact of combat trauma on veterans from World War II to today. It shows the impact that combat has on families, on wives and children. It provides a brutal, unvarnished, and critical look at how combat impacts those who experience it, as well as those who care for them."

Happy 4th of July! Wishing everyone a special time of togetherness as we celebrate all the freedoms this great nation provides. I invite you to take a moment to give thanks to our military and public safety heroes for their courage to defend the democracy of our great nation. May you and your families have a wonderful and safe 4th of July weekend! Warmest celebration wishes, Ssusan Technolink Member Steffan Tubbs How the film "ACRONYM" is Saving Lives Members of the Mountain Time Media team were given the distinct honor this week of screening the film ACRONYM: The Cross-Generational Battle With PTSD to members of the House Committee on Veterans Affairs on Capitol Hill. The film focuses on a sad reality: 22 veterans kill themselves and 75 attempt EVERY DAY - but looks ahead with hope and at alternative therapies available. Since its Veterans Day premiere, at least FOUR veterans (the oldest a Korean War vet) have sought treatment for the first time after seeing the film.

Technolink Snapshot February 2016

Technolink Member Terry O’Neill Shares a SnapShot of His Economic Perspectives for 2016 “Exploring the New Abnormal” Exploring the new abnormal: I expect global GDP growth to accelerate by a mere 0.2 percentage points in 2016. In my view, this tepid pace of expansion reflects the slump in potential growth across both DMs and EMs—a trend that points to a prolonged period of sluggish growth and low inflation ahead. This new abnormal—has both cyclical and structural roots, with the chief cyclical element being demand weakness as a consequence of deleveraging, a process that began in the U.S. in 2008 and spread to Europe in 2010-11. Since 2013—following the Fed’s tapering of QE, the start of China’s slowdown and the end of the commodity super-cycle—deleveraging has been playing out in the EM world as well. Waves of deleveraging amplify the risk of hysteresis, whereby the cyclical slowdown would morph into a secular one as a persistently depressed cycle chips away at trend growth. Population aging is throwing up structural impediments to growth—lowering investment, reducing productivity gains and, in the face of unfunded pension systems across much of the world, raising desired savings. All of these shifts dampen demand and undercut growth. Higher savings have failed to spark higher investment as a result of deleveraging and regulatory, economic and policy uncertainties, among other factors. And tech-sector innovation has yet to show up in total factor productivity growth. Structural reforms have been inadequate. DM governments bear some of the blame, but EMs have been especially remiss on the reform front, failing to see the need for change in the boom years and fearing contraction in lean periods. Rising inequality is another brake on growth, as average savings rates tend to rise when wealth and income are redistributed from labor to capital and wages are transformed into profits.
