Exactly. 50% of Americans over 50 take more than three drugs and are diagnosed with a chronic condition. This was not true, 50 years ago. This is not true in Europe. In Europe, there's not $5 billion worth of advertising per year for prescription drugs. As we have here, called DTC, right? We're the only civilized country other than New Zealand that actually has that allows advertising for prescription drugs.

And then with the promise that I would get it twice as bad once I got home and that pretty much kept most of us on the straight and narrow and I will say this when I graduated, there had never been a mass shooting in any American high schools. That's the same for me. I grew up with an Italian mother. So I knew the wooden spoon pretty well. Oh, yeah. Yeah, you're right. There was discipline. There was consequences to your actions and we've taken that all out. I mean, I draw the school bus for the district in the 20 and the 2000s. And even back then, they were taking away tools and you could see the decline in behavior. So you're right. If there's consequences and there's punishment, I know you were talking about Corporal punishment. That would never fly out here, but my gosh, if we could get SR student resource officers back and have some consequences, I think that would go a long way towards sort of pulling back this reign of terror. And you think about there was one incident with the lawsuit. There was basically a teacher kind of held hostage for over three hours before anybody would come and help her.

Congressman Suggests Using Gaming for Critical Thinking on Defense

"When you walked in and it was run by the center for new American security, very respectable group in their bipartisan. Did you know what the CCP's first move would be? I did not. It deliberately. I didn't want a game the game. I wanted there to be actual critical thinking. And you know, listen, there are obvious limits to what you can do in that short period of time. Particularly when the players are busy and they're coming in from other stuff and you don't have time to do a lot of homework. But there's something about the format of just kind of having members around a map, having an interactive discussion that I actually thought afterwards stimulated more thinking than your standard congressional hearing where it's 5 minutes, scripted, this and that. And so I'm increasingly intrigued by the idea of using gaming or non traditional fora like this to force a collaborative and creative discussion among members. And it's something I've said on your program quite frequently is in my 6 years on the armed services committee. We've actually never had, you know, even with the indo Pacific commander, just a no holds barred discussion around a map that just talked about kind of the basic geography at play here. And one thing I've been advocating for for a while is for Congress to be brought into the DoD wargaming process. The final thought on gaming here, again, despite its limits, I think it would be increasingly useful for Pentagon or defense focused gamers to incorporate high level people from Wall Street from the financial and manufacturing community in order to tease out what's going to happen when we impose sanctions or when the Chinese to start to weaponize supply chains. And these things tend to be separated. We tend not to incorporate the economic and financial dimensions of games.

"pacific" Discussed on The Economist: The Intelligence

"China's foreign minister Wang Yi is doing a little damage control today. He was forced to address a number of Pacific island countries telling them not to be too anxious about China's plans in the region. Mister Wong is in the middle of an 8 country Pacific tour, attempting to strike broad cooperation agreements with island nations. But a big meeting with ten of their foreign ministers today failed to reach consensus. The sticking point seems to be on matters of security. Last month a security deal that China inked with the Solomon Islands prompted a scramble among western diplomats. The fear is that China is laying the ground for military bases in the region, but that isn't looking as easy as mister Wong probably hoped. One natural military base abroad, which is this naval facility it opened in 2017 in Djibouti on the Horn of Africa. But in the last few years, it's really been accelerating and broadening. It's search for more bases. Jeremy page is our Asia diplomatic editor. And last month, we had this surprise announcement of a security deal between China and the Solomon Islands, although the text of it actually remains completely secret. There was a leaked draft which said that the government of the solomons would be able to ask China to send police and soldiers to help maintain social order among other things and to conduct other tasks unquote. Agreed by both sides. And then it also said that in return, China could, according to its own needs and the local approval, send its ships to stop over in the solomons. Now both China and the solomons have denied that they're planning a military base, but what is clear is that China's seeking to establish some kind of security presence in the region, as well as growing its economic influence. And it's hoping to do so with more than that one deal with the solomons. And how is China going about getting that influence? Well, Chen has been trying for a while to make inroads in the Pacific and mainly through trade and aid investment. But it's now really stepping up those efforts, particularly in this visit by China's foreign minister Wang Yi who is going to 8 nations of over ten days, he's been trying not just to get individual nations to sign up to bilateral agreements, some of which do have a sort of security component. But he's also been trying to get ten countries across the region to sign up to a broader pact. A draft of that agreement which he was hoping to sign in Fiji today on Monday suggests it would cover pretty wide range of issues, including trade, financing, tourism, public health, but it would also cover some more sensitive areas like security, China would, for example, help to train local police and build forensic labs and it also commits to closer cooperation on cybersecurity and data networks, which are very sensitive areas for the U.S. and its allies. And so are all of these Pacific island nations on board with this ploy. Well, apparently not after the meeting in Fiji today, mister Wang said there had been agreement on 5 areas of cooperation. But they needed to talk further basically. And the 5 areas he mentioned notably did not include security before the meeting in Fiji, a draft communicate was circulated and apparently prompted some opposition from at least one of the countries that was attending a copy of a letter from the president of the Federated States of Micronesia. It was leaked to several media outlets in which he basically said his country would not sign up to this broader regional agreement in part because he feared that having this closer relationship with China could put the region in the middle of new Cold War between China and the west. And it was particularly concerned about the prospect of a potential Chinese invasion of Taiwan. And how has the west reacted to this push from China? Well, there was a very strong rhetorical response to China's security deal with the solomons when it was announced. And now we're starting to see that translate into some more concrete policies and proposals. Australia's new prime minister antoni albanese said on Saturday he had a comprehensive plan for the region, which included a defense training school and more support various areas, including climate change, which is a big concern for the Pacific Islands. Proactive in the region, we want to engage Australia has been the partner of choice for a long period of time in the Pacific and we intend to continue to be that. Australia also sent its new foreign minister penny Wong to Fiji on Thursday to try and strengthen that relationship and she also committed to listening to the Pacific Islands, particularly on climate change. The U.S. immediately after the Solomon's deal said that if it led to the establishment of the Chinese military installation or some kind of permanent presence in the solomons, America would quote respond accordingly. But it didn't explain what that would mean. We haven't had any clarification on that point, but the U.S. has been trying to reinforce its own trade links with the Pacific in part through a new trade initiative. It calls the indo Pacific economic framework and last week it scored a minor victory when it announced that Fiji would sign up to that new initiative. But if that wider deal with those specific island nations with all of its security components doesn't go through, what do you think that means for China in the world? China can already project military power quite effectively during peacetime by relying on a network of more than 90 ports around the world that are either partly or wholly owned or operated by Chinese companies. The problem for China is that if it wants its armed forces to be able to operate effectively in a conflict far from its shores, then it really needs dedicated facilities where it can station uniform personnel, store weapons and equipment, so that's what it's been seeking out in the last few years. And just in the last three, it signed secret deal to use a Cambodian navy base. It's tried to negotiate a naval outpost in Equatorial Guinea and it's secretly begun building a military facility inside a port in the United Arab Emirates. That's all, according to American officials. But what we seem to be seeing now is a change of Chinese tactics where it's abandoned any attempts to persuade the U.S. and its allies that these deals don't threaten their interests. And it's really targeting countries which are much more important strategically to the U.S.. And the other thing is that it seems to be pursuing these deals that don't necessarily mention a base explicitly, but they could lay the ground for one in the future. And in any case, whatever China's ambitions at this stage, it doesn't look like it's been a smooth road so far. That's right. For all these efforts, the results have been kind of mixed and one of the main reasons for that is just history because the military bases that Western countries like the U.S., Britain, France, have around the world, a legacies of empire and Second World War, Cold War, and China is basically starting from scratch. The other problem is that because democratic nations tend to be more aligned to the west, China's progress on this front is largely dependent on authoritarian leaders and that leaves them vulnerable to sudden shifts in the political landscape and public opinion, not least in the solomons, where in a poll of Solomon islanders last year, 91% said they'd prefer to be diplomatically aligned more with liberal democracies than with China. I don't think we're going to see an actual Chinese base in the solomons or anywhere else in the Pacific in the short term, but you could see the deployment of Chinese security forces initially maybe to help deal with social unrest and then over time that could lead to the establishment of facilities that could evolve into something more strategically significant. Thanks.

"Add that the best jokes are the ones where pretty much everyone can join in and enjoy them without anyone getting hurt. To a certain extent, that's how most good jokes should be. The best comedians can make situations feel humorous without personally insulting anyone. But what happens if the jokes cross a line or hurt someone, or what happens if certain people are the target more often than others? And that's the basis for our topic today. People of Asian Pacific descent have been a frequent target of jokes, and they continue to be one of the few groups belittled publicly without much uproar from the non Asian Pacific Islander community. It's just accepted as okay to mock or joke about Asians. Let's get started. We've talked about it before, but Asian Pacific islanders are not featured in very many roles by the major motion picture companies or streaming services. This has gotten better over the last few years, but there's still a long, long, long way to go. And when there are roles for Asian Pacific islanders, what we're given is generally a supporting role full of stereotypes. There was a great study done by the Geena Davis institute on gender and media. They partnered with goldhouse and the coalition of Asian pacifics in entertainment to create a report titled, I am not a fetish or model minority, redefining what it means to be API in the entertainment industry. And they did a pretty comprehensive study of the ways that popular movies perpetuate tropes that objectify and flatten AAPI people. They analyze the AAPI characters in each of the ten highest grossing films from 2010 to 2019. And because they were so few AAPI roles in the early part of the time period, they did additional analysis using all films with any AAPI people in the main cast were released by major studios and streaming platforms between 2017 and 2020. When reading the study, it wasn't too surprising that there weren't many realistic diverse roles featuring people of Asian Pacific descent..

Yeah, I was I am friendly with this Medal of Honor recipient from Afghanistan who at one point told me in confidence, like, you know, it's weird because I'm constantly being asked to relive the worst day of my life. Well, if we head back to the show in episode 5 still, we meet new characters on pavuvu in June of 1944. We meet them as Eugene sledge is arriving. He's joining his new squad, and there's snafu, delo and Bergen. Sledge also happens to run into his childhood friend, Sidney Phillips, a few days before Phillips is shipped back to the states. We also see lucky come back from his time in the hospital to join runner in juergens. The next action that the men are going to see is going to be in polilu in September of 1944, but the impression that I got here was that the marines used pavuvu as a staging ground sort of sorts for polio. Is that a fair assessment of what happened? It is a fair assessment, because they needed to park the division in an area where it could train. They also did not want to move the division inconveniently far away from the theater of operations. That was because at this point, the American military was really feeling the pinch of the Pacific logistics. Because to move a division, say to move a division back to Hawaii, that was a massive decision and the logistics that it would take to bring that division back to where it could be applied against the enemy in action that represented a serious part of this very complicated matrix of managing supply lines and logistics in the Pacific war. Pavuvu as it turns out provides a training area that to an adequate degree simulated partly, what the marines would experience on Paolo, when they went into action there. And that's because you have some similarity in so far as you have God forsaken tropical island just a few degrees off the equator. Which describes in the solomons, it also describes peleliu and.

And i'll talk about the distances as we go on. But there's a certain reliable distance out into the ocean that you can just expect to be able to detect nearby land even if you can't see it and if you measure land including those radii out into the ocean beyond the shore and especially beyond sort of like reefs and submerged or or almost submerged tolls nearby you can actually greatly expand the percent of the pacific ocean that is taken up by By by land range basically.

Plans for the line from the town of formbook to ashland will be straighter with the grade. Far less steep the route would necessitate a tunnel through work. Chinese workers flooded the side eventually blasting out over sixteen hundred feet from what would become the east portal. Cords of wood were stacked along the designated railroad route and a restaurant and bar was built to accommodate the workers who mostly lived atop book rock. What was called hell town by eighteen eighty five blasting starter on the west portal but the two were never connected work had been conducted under a grant for then. Oh and see a grant that ran out in eighteen. Eighty five from california southern pacific changed the route purchased.

That's not the sort of world view you encounter with with with western civilizations now. Certainly you have certain civilizations and cultures within the civilizations that are more Nautical and more dependent on maritime traditions. But but even then it's it's it's often the case that they are there more attached to the land they're closer to the continent and in these cases we're dealing with with with islands within just a vast world of water. Now there's one big question that Lewis also addresses in his book. Which is the question of what happened to so much of this. Ancient pacific navigational knowledge right clearly. Some people in the twentieth century still possess it. but this seems to have become increasingly rare And you could easily blame the import of foreign navigation equipment and techniques other cultures right.

"Welcomed true mysteries of the pacific northwest stories of strange and unexplained people places and events often lost in the midst of time. When i do a story that has to do with the pacific northwest a lot of times. It starts here and leads to other strange things. And that's what happened today. Story on deja-vu when you go to a new place or meet someone that you've never met before. Have you had the feeling that you knew that person or event that place but four. Well if you have. You're not alone and this is where it began where the story began when i was researching this story. A friend janet. Carver nodar real name. Said she grew up in las vegas but eventually move to shasta city california. She told me it wasn't uncommon for her to have the name of a friend that she grew up with pop. Endure ed and within minutes would run into that person in shasta. Although janet's experience is not deja vu i felt was in the same league and so i've included with the story. Wikipedia says that they should lose the feeling that one has lived through the present situation before the phrase translates literally as already seen although some interpret deja vu in a paranormal contacts. Mainstream scientific approaches rejected explanations of deja voodoo as pre cognition or prophecy. So how science explained issue they. The world of science has four possible causes of what is referred to deja vu. Attentional explanations of deja vu involved and initial perception that is made under degraded attention which is then followed by a second. Take under full attention for example. If you are about to unlock the front door of your house and you momentarily are distracted by a noise in the distance when you return to the task of locking the door. The first perception may seem for their raw. In the past distraction that separates these two perceptions could be as fleeting as an eye blink. Then there are memory explanations. Make the assumption that some detail of new experiences familiar but the source of this familiarity has been forgotten. The premise of this explanation is that people encounter countless things during the course of the day. The don't pay attention to all of the information later. Reprocessing of the information may occasionally induced familiarity and deja-vu and there it is. That's what science thinks. Dual processing explanations of deja vu suggests that to usually synchronous cognitive processes become Momentarily a synchronous. For example familiarity and retrieval could become out of sync. Alternatively perception in memory could become a synchronous neurological explanations of deja vu attribute phenomenon to either a small temporal lobe seizure in a person without epilepsy or to a delay in neural transmission between the eyes ears and other perceptual organs and higher organ processing centers. In the brain dual processing explanations have received a lot of attention they are much more philosophical theoretical less Mechanistic but dual processing explanations. Can't be tested. Didn't allow similarly neurological explanations or appealing in their neurological basis and seem logical but again we lack the advanced technology to test them thus dual processing and neurological explanations are less germane to researchers instead attention and memory explanations are best supported by what we know about cognition and can be tested. While that takes the fun out of experiencing deja vu let me tell you that just because science has a variety of explanations doesn't mean they are more accurate than the person thinks. It is a paranormal activity in the brain. Where in the spirit or an energy. So science doesn't necessarily win. Out on the definition of deja vu and now chapter fourteen of the joe outta bright dungeness bay cozy murder mystery series in chapter thirteen..

"This podcast was inspired by mike. Who sent me an email. Asking are true mysteries of the pacific northwest. Nothing more than urban legends inspired by a book. I checked out from the rogue valley metaphysical library and trying to answer that question. The book was written by an authority. Who shall remain nameless. The book contains some events that are no more than a figment of someone or an urban legend. Like the dog that ate a tiny cell foam and every time someone called stomach would rain. Some were started by celebrities like mickey rooney claiming that he had influence walt disney to call his cartoon mouse mickey mouse. Then there's urban legend about elvis presley giving a harley davidson motorcycle to actor james dean. Well sorry. none of these happened before. I reveal my favorite urban legends. I need to explain how i separate real and true from something invented by a person with an ulterior motive or an urban legend occasionally. I do find a witness or participant to an event that can't be explained away and are willing to talk about it but that's the exception not the rule. Most people are reluctant. Admit that they saw ghost or heard strange laughter when they were home alone for fear of being ridiculed. When event is brought to my attention or intrigued by a story on the internet my search for sources begins. I'll start with the photograph of a pterodactyl that appeared on the internet that allegedly dates back to the american civil war in eighteen. Sixty four courting to the story behind the mystery. Image giant flying creature was shot down by soldiers around eighteen sixty four. near the city of vicksburg. The story says it's soldier said the creature was like some kind of unknown bird monster in a surprising. Twist of the story. A second photograph appeared on the internet.

"Welcome to true mysteries of the pacific northwest stories of people places events often obscured by the mrs of time. I'm your host. Ken crumb did you know that. All of america skyjackings only one remains on solved. You know which one does name db cooper mean anything to you on november twenty four nineteen seventy-one a passenger using the name. Dan cooper hijack northwest orient airlines. Flight three oh five headed from portland oregon to seattle washington after threatening to blow up the plane with a bomb. Cooper demanded four parachutes and two hundred thousand dollars fearing the worst northwest airlines agreed. Once the ground seattle cooper let the other passengers and some of the flight crew off the plane and had the money imperatives brought on board. The plane refuel took off again. And at ten thousand feet. Cooper jumped from the back stairs the boeing seven twenty seven into the pacific northwest night. He was never seen again to this day. It's one of america's greatest unsolved robberies or skyjackings but thanks to a recent book. One of the most promising leads is actually fairly new. One kenneth peter christiansen a former northwest. Airlines employ was never really a former suspect in the dvd cooper case but now thanks to the book into the blast. By robert blevins kenny christianson has come to the forefront of possible suspects. This case has never been closed by the fbi. By the way. And says i would say i'm ninety percent to ninety five percent. Certain to christianson was d b cooper. He worked for the airline. He had a paratrooper training background. He had the opportunity. He had a lot of unexplained spending within a few months after the hijacking. He lent his best friend's sister. Five thousand dollars in cash to buy a house then. He used another sixteen thousand dollars to buy another house for himself. As far as i can tell blood and says ken. Christianson had one life before the hijacking and a completely different one afterwards. Okay when you look at the numbers you definitely start smelling something fishy. While working for northwest airlines. Christianson never earned more than five hundred and twelve dollars a month. That's a month which even in the early one thousand nine hundred seventy s didn't go far yet. Within a few months of the skyjackings he suddenly had a stash of cash to throw around. So why didn't the fbi take a harder work at christianson. As a suspect author blevins chalks the oversight up to three preconceptions. The fbi brought to the case. One christianson didn't match eyewitness descriptions of the sky jacker to he had no previous criminal history and three. Fb i didn't believe that the sky jacker had military training in his background. Now according to blevins the author the parachute the devi cooper actually with called a navy backpack six and it's a smaller parachute more of the military type. The sky jacker must've been a pretty tough guy. Blevins says according to blevins. Kenny went through paratrooper training. Where they started out with two hundred sixty two men and ended up with eighty. That actually finished the course and he was one of them. All of these factors have convinced author. Blevins that he's cracked a db cooper case. He says i think he jumped out of the back of that. Seven twenty-seven hit the ground popped off his parachute disconnected the harness and the container from it buried a silk part and put his briefcase in the money bag in the container for the parachute. Put it on his back and walked out of the forest. And that's the first half of this podcast on db cooper and what happened to him and what happened to two hundred thousand dollars. Be sure to listen. Wednesday for the second part or in the conclusion of what happened to db cooper in that two hundred thousand dollars. This is kick crumb. Thanks for.
