Is the West falling behind in science?
China is now the leader in applied physical sciences. How can the U.S. and its allies catch up?

I've long been fond of the phrase, "the bottom falling out of the bucket" as a reference in #Zen to a kind of irreversible awakening experience. It's used in the 12th c. *Blue Cliff Record.* This story appears to be from a century later, but it's nice (from Paul Reps' *Zen Flesh, Zen Bones*):

In the past, when letters were dictated and typed by secretaries, a conventional practice was to include a code at the bottom indicating who dictated the letter, the typist's initials, and often whether it was reviewed after typing.

The endoscopic classification of representations of non-quasi-split odd special orthogonal groups
In an earlier book of Arthur, the endoscopic classification of representations of quasi-split orthogonal and symplectic groups was established. Later Mok gave that of quasi-split unitary groups. After that, Kaletha, Minguez, Shin, and White gave that of non-quasi-split unitary groups for generic parameters. In this paper we prove the endoscopic classification of representations of non-quasi-split odd special orthogonal groups for generic parameters, following Kaletha, Minguez, Shin, and White.
