On Veteran’s Day, Sunday, Nov. 11, 2018, the City of Golden and Golden History Museum & Park will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I with a day of celebration, programs, and free admission. The Museum opens at 10 a.m. and ceremonies begin at 11 a.m.

The 1968 time capsule that has been buried in the sidewalk next to Golden’s Liberty Bell in front of City Hall for the past 50 years will be opened and its contents unveiled for the public to see at the Golden History Museum, 923 10th St.

The time capsule tradition began in 1918 when Golden residents buried the first one in honor of the end of WWI and asked that the people of 1968 open it. The next generation dutifully opened the capsule and buried another for us to celebrate and experience in 2018. In the same tradition, we will bury a time capsule with items representing our times for the people of 2068 to open.

Rick Weiss, the founding director of SciLine, will offer a free talk on November 15, 5:30 p.m. in Brown Hall W210 at the Colorado School of Mines about “Evidence in an Era of Synthetic Credibility.”

The digital democratization of information is proving to be a mixed blessing. Individuals and populations once marginalized and voiceless now have instant access to influential communication channels and a chance to join the global marketplace of data and ideas. But this borderless information ecosystem has also turned out to be fertile terrain for con artists and provocateurs who are using increasingly available and sophisticated technology to obfuscate on an unprecedented scale and undermine institutions that have historically been central to social stability. The race is on to develop approaches that can accurately assess credibility in real time, and elevate evidence to its rightful place.

SciLine is a philanthropically supported, free service affiliated with the American Association for the Advancement of Science that connects scientists and other experts to journalists covering science, health, and the environment.

The talk is free, but reserve your spot online. Refreshments will be served.

Mines celebrates the presence of more than 70 countries represented on campus. Come experience exotic sights, melodious sounds, tantalizing fragrances and heavenly tastes.

The event starts at 4:30 p.m. at Lockridge Arena, 1651 Elm St.
