This is the first podcast of 2023 and what we're going to do is a little bit of a retrospective about 2022, especially with respect to national security policy, joining me today are Cheryl roper and Dan Nixon, how are you guys? Good. Hunky Dory. Outstanding. So retro sex is a retrospectives are difficult in their complicated, but I guess starting with Cheryl, maybe we can go around for just a little bit. And say, you know, what about what is it that you think you'll remember about 2022? I think that the biggest story is going to be similar for all of us. But what about 2022 happened that you didn't expect to happen? Well, obviously, Russia's war against Ukraine is something none of us expected to happen. Another war of empire. In the 21st century, although certainly the signs were there at the end of 21 in the beginning of 2022, let's see, another surprise was Iran and we can get to this maybe a little bit later.

"You're listening to native America calling. I'm Sean spruce. Today we are talking about meat processing in native America, with about a $1 billion allocated to supporting smaller local meat producers. We could start seeing more tribally processed meat. Have you been impacted by slowdowns and meat distribution? Do you enjoy a good locally sourced ribeye? Join our discussion by calling one 809 9 6 two 8 four 8. That's also 109 9 native. I'd like to now bring in Chris roper, who is speaking with us from south central Missouri. He is one of the directors of regional technical assistance for the flower hill institute. Chris, great to have you on the show. Thank you, and I'm glad to be here and look forward to participating in our conversation today. Absolutely. And tell me, what are you hearing from native ranchers about this exciting new program, the meat and poultry processing capacity program? Are they excited? Oh, absolutely. There's so many new programs coming out and that have came out. It's truly hard to keep up with all of them. And that makes it more exciting for us to have our roots back with the tribes and have all of our contacts that we've had over the last several years and to have the great relationships through flower hill. And we're able to share information with tribes all across the country. And it's truly amazing to be able to assist groups through the process, make sure they're aware of the new programs when they come out. Answer questions when they come up about the grants or even particular grants about our particular questions about how to fill out the grants or what has to be included in a grant or we try to help through operations through the development of the facilities and we really try to be a one stop turnkey resource for everyone to call upon and use our history and our knowledge to help tribes develop these new facilities. Okay. And before we went to break, I mentioned I just want to make sure that information is correct..

"Bonjour, everybody. Let's get a number three on the roper report three four three has shown off some new halo, infinite maps, Kevin, I've given you a link here to look at the catalyst and breakers, Tim, you full screen this. I'm gonna need your opinion on these, of course. As both a halo infinite fan and then, of course, just a halo aficionado. Real quick. I see Mike in the chat, Mike. Get in the Discord, baby. Come on, get in here. Let's talk about some halo max. Mike, drag your lazy ass into this Discord. All right. He's over there just ripping bong hates watching games daily getting here. Hey Mike. Greg, it's forge wanted, baby. It's not so clear. Mike, too, I turn it over to you. We're watching catalyst and breaker maps go through here. I need the Xbox opinion from the one and only host of the kind of funny ex cast. Snow bike Mike. And halo happening. I was trying to find another H word. I can say, halo fan, Tim gang. Looks cool. This one, getting a lot of that covenant looking areas. I like the grass that we're getting on top of it. Those are always kind of my more favorite maps gives me. I always like the outside ones, Mike, you know what I'm talking about when it's not just the corridors over and over? Yes, Tim, so when we're looking at these rights, you have catalyst is going to be the smaller arena map and I believe breaker is the big team battle map. So when we look at catalysts, which is the four V four, that's the one you get excited for Tim, right? Because it gives you vibes of halo three guardian, which is the one you're talking about outdoor kind of overgrown with the green lush plant life going on. And the cool part about this is it's got the 4Runner kind of like tech and the building wise. But most importantly, we need more arena maps. And that's what gets me excited. And I like the color way of this. We kind of saw the neon lights of street really step out of the ordinary when you look at the 44 rina maps that they already have. So I think this fits in well with the street motif of oh wow, there's the colors. That's that palette that I want. And then over on the other side, big team battle, I mean, look at this, dude, breaker looks badass. Now I'm a big team battle kid, so I'm all about this. And I'm really excited because you got to cut like this volcano like magma in the middle and you and I are going to be whipping the warthog off these ramps jumping over it. I love the different levels to it, right? The verticality we always talk about kind of giving me that vibe of, I forget the one where you're on two separate sides and you can take teleporters back and forth, but boarding action. I love that just divide of like two sides shooting back and forth, but this does look very cool. This definitely gives you vibes of halo infinite campaign when you're at the banished mining areas. That's the vibe that I'm getting, but I mean, yeah, both these maps looking very, very cool. I think it's cool even that you bring it up boarding action, but having that flame thing, like going back and forth, kind of like some shit that caused environmental damage to you. I think it's pretty cool. And not something that we frequently get in halo maps. Yeah, I'm really excited about that. Yeah, the dynamic, right? The dynamic actions going on within the world. What can happen here? You've seen a couple of them before we've pressed something maybe turns on a lift or it activates them, but I do like that seeing things move within the world and it's going to be exciting to get big team battle. I mean, let's not focus on the modes or is this enough? We'll focus on the now, which is these two maps, which will breathe some fresh life into this game. And I am excited to jump in and see the new sightlines, right? Like we've seen HCS with the pros coming and we have a brand new open or HCS like big grand open down in Kansas City at the end of the month. So like, will, you know, the pros have maybe played this a little bit and know what's going on ahead of release. So when we get into week one, they already know what's happening, but I'm so excited for the sight lines to see this. Real quick, Mike, before you bounce out here, I haven't really been keeping up with this. Is there an actual update on co op and forge? Yes, so forges still season three so that is, you know, that 9 month window will just say August, right? And then co op has been talked about, so it will not be day one on May 3rd, which is the start of season two. That will be pushed to sometime in season twos window, right? So that's co op on couch co op and online co op have both been pushed, so you will not get co op campaign day one. Okay. So still a waiting game, which is unfortunate, right? I know a lot of people are very excited about co op, but we're still playing a waiting game on this one. They definitely talked about the ups and downs of building co op within an open world setting that they've never done before within halo and the challenges that they've hit, but you won't get that. I think the coolest part is you get couch co op, which is kind of a thing of the past, right? We've talked about this before. Everything's moved online. You don't really see many big titles still doing couch co op like this. So to see halo do it, I'm kind of wowed by 'cause I thought we'd just be online from.

This is a fantastic game and then them trying to bring it to switch and mobile makes a lot of sense. you know. we've seen a lot of games. A lot of first person shooters not a lot of new ones trying to make their way to multiple platforms and working out like apex runs on. Switch along with games like overwatch. We have called judy. Mobile's we have four out on mobile and you know we've had games pru prove that that can work split gate playing it on. Ps five is not a super super graphically intense game. I don't play this game and go. How the fucker. You're gonna put this on switch. I play that game and go now. This game probably switch like it's not. It's not doing all that. In terms of graphical fidelity that game's all about the fun and all about The one thing that might be hard from a making this game perspective might be the portals honestly because doing something like that technically is a challenge. Because when when you throw a portal up and you're looking through a portal but you also are existing in like your own frame of existence within a game. You're caused the game to run two different instances. Yeah the very same time on the same screen which is a technical challenge so that might be the thing that they had to figure out. But i i would assume if this is their vision. Then they're on the way to doing it and you know. I think i think the more game out there the more they're able to get this game on different platforms and the more they put push cross play and push the free to play right now. This game is gonna pop in. This game is going to be popular this big for them. Yeah it's really cool. We talked about it a little bit more on the games that just came out on youtube dot com slash kind of funny games but split gates a game that we play a while back. We did a party mode a couple of years ago and the developers came to the studio and to see what it's turned into is completely incredible if you don't know it's essentially halo with portals and that it's exactly as fun as it sounds so definitely check it out and i don't know if you guys talked about the game seal yesterday but there's also next-gen update coming so pius five and xbox x. xbox series as well yep charging chad mentioned is not to just rendering twice which is very much what i meant so thank you for the correction on that one but yeah i and that's one that i hope when they to. Ps five and xbox series. Those are the versions that really shine in graphics. I i know the game is cross play as well and so they wanna have some parody between versions so that people aren't playing two different games on platforms. But you know out. Hope that with that port comes in you know the fourcade Assets and all the benefits. I get from playing on something that is nexgen but for now we'll have to wait for now.

God what was right and what was wrong before they try to never process so is one steer enough on a horse. No i would say no. No not enough is twenty. Two many sure okay. So where's the number. What number is a is a number that you think your horse needs a break on. So i decided six or seven years is a number because i look at his veins on his neck. I look at the the sweat around. Xeres i look at. I feeling breathing. Because when you're when you're roping at the level at the highest level you're not just lopin your your fire and you're going fast and asking the horse to do hard things and i think that if you ask a horse to do that over and over and over pretty soon he does trust you if i ask you to. Do wind sprints. If i said let's go out there and i want you to do with roots. I'm coaching you. And i ask you to do. Eight wind sprints. Would you run as hard as you could. Yes yes if i ask you to do eighty no i mean i can't. I can't do eighty as hard as i can't. I can't do it so i'm going to conserve myself. I'm gonna give you eighty percent. So i'm gonna ask my horse to give me six runs all he's got and then i'm going to rewarded. I'm going to walk him around. I'm going to have somebody on him. That walks him around. Because my friend you know from the racetrack. They said the worst thing that team roper is do is that we don't warmer horses up enough and we don't cool out enough wreck we'd wrote and then we time right up to the fence and then we jump on another one so i wore my horses up. I count the strides. I know exactly how far my horse gallops every day. Before i before i wrote bonding and then i cool him out for ten minutes. I keep him walking for ten minutes. So what i want rope six and and put my in an turn on him and keeping moving. Get another one rope six. Get back on him. Sex and rope another one sick so as twenty four steers. Yeah so. If i had another horse thirty six years but six six six and six. So that's the number now. Should it be seven. You know one day there was a guy he's low. God forbid you've run seven. Don't miss the point. Yeah don't miss the point. It's not fourteen in a row..

India's Farmer Protests: Why Are They So Angry?
"Next on a protest movement in India. It has drawn the interest of pop stars and climate activists and sent people into the streets for a cause. What's fascinating about the cause they're fighting for, is how unfasten ating it initially seems, farmers are protesting over new rules for wholesale markets. One of those rules matter so much. The answer reveals something about a giant nation, its past and its possible future. NPR's Lauren Frayer begins at one of the markets in western India. Yeah, I like. Okay, So this is a wholesale market and sort of a dusty lot between looks like warehouses here. Yes. Yes. This is good, Skunk. Oh, yeah, Wholesale agent, but this is all regulated by the government. Yes, they're appointed by the government. They're paying market fees can vote How is showing me around his local wholesale market, one of thousands run by the government where Indian farmers sell their crops Auction. Takes bids for eggplants trucks disgorge bales of collie flower wave through waist high piles of green beans. These markets were set up in the 19 sixties in India's Green revolution. When the government started subsidizing pesticides and irrigation. It helped boost yields and made India self sufficient in food. But it did not lift many farmers themselves out of poverty. My father has not much educated Lord Howe comes from a long line of grain farmers. The average Indian farm is about 2.5 acres. These are not big commercial farms like in the American West, and with climate change, mechanization and rampant development, not to mention the pandemic. Indian farmers are struggling load houses at our place. Water is not Report supplies water, Not there that much water as much as when you go. So exactly exactly exactly lot of problem is that the production cost off. Traditional farming is going higher day by day, so the help the Indian government passed three new laws last year they aimed to deregulate the way produces bought and sold. Wholesalers and grocery chains no longer have to buy it. These government run markets they could do deals directly with farms. Many farmers are not happy, though, because you know Agriculture prices are subject to a lot of volatility. Economists seem a bad lawyer says farmers got used to selling of these government run markets, which guarantee them a minimum price. So it's a safety net for the farmers. When prices go down, the government says it will still set prices for certain crops, and it's not closing these markets just adding more options. That son Jake Ohad is still worried. Ginger Allah Miggy. Eventually he's a middle man who buys from farmers here. Don't he says he's worried big corporations will circumvent these markets and obliterate small traders like him. As we chat. Another man interrupts. We're proud of you will be the King of World Niners, and this is basically what's happened with the farm laws. It's all devolved into political arguments. Agriculture reform has long been the third rail of Indian politics. Successive governments avoided it. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is trying to do it now on a national scale. The rules have always varied by state and by crop economist giant ego says mode. I made a mistake by not explaining this well. The amazing thing is that the more the government passed these laws in the middle of a pandemic. They just quickly passed it without any discussion. You could have gone to people talked about it Godfrey back because these are long term proposals proposals now laws that affect the approximately 800 million Indians who depend on farming for a living. There's been a lot of confusion. Farmers here in Western India don't have the same concerns as in the north of the country that they moved more delicious than me getting shit carry those air. The rich farmers from the north you see protest, Ng says a tomato farmer here named um, but a sun up. He's got nine family members to feed. He can't afford to take a day off to protest. The protests have been dominated by farmers from northern India, the country's bread basket. They grow mostly grain and rely on government markets. More than a tomato farmer like sun up who can sell out of the back of his truck. Northern farmers see these laws is the first step toward dismantling all the aid they've gotten since the Green Revolution. Including price guarantees for wheat, rice and 20 other crops. I'm your bony I mean, bony, but not for my tomatoes. Sun Up, says he's never been eligible for the price guarantees that wheat growers get a majority of India's farmers or not. Meanwhile, farmers in several states are already circumventing these government wholesale markets and have been for years well, These conveyor belts are moving quickly. This produce packing collective started more than a decade ago, when eight farmers banded together. Now it has a sprawling campus. It's co owned by more than 10,000 farmers. This is the banana, I think Chambers Banana ripening chamber. This collective bypasses government wholesalers and sells directly to stores. Villas. Shin Dae is the founder market is ready to pay me back. Better place then I should capture that market is Roper. Depending on government. He says he got fed up waiting decades for government reforms, so he took matters into his own hands and started this collective. For others, the pandemic has forced them to consider new ways of selling their produce. So these air your grapes Here's yes. If grandfather and great farmer Abby shake shall kisses. His harvest came right when government run wholesale markets closed last year because of Cove, it actually opportunity, so he and his friends all farmers in their twenties who'd gone to college, started selling on Twitter and got more for their produce. Bobby Shake, says his heart is with his fellow farmers who've been protesting even if they don't share all the same concerns. His head, he says, is on how to solve some of the inefficiencies he sees in the way his forefathers have long done business and he doesn't really trust the government to do it. When I'm just out to get the amulet and no I did buy it guys off the coast of Calabrese. I think our generation is going to have to try to figure this out, he says. Lauren Frayer NPR news in Nash IQ.

Ntn hunt dre owner of locals barber shop in colorado springs who happens to be white and that barbershop Took a pretty hard hit as a result of all the lockdowns shutdown seemingly arbitrary capricious closures that we saw not only across the country but indeed around the state. that's exactly right and twenty twenty Mr hardaway was expecting would be his best year ever But because he was required to close for several months and then able to open only very limited capacity you know income was down probably third from what he expected. He still had costs and overhead obviously owning the building paying employees but without the income because the government wouldn't let him bring customers back open. He's back open again at a very limited capacity Know he's hoping that that will Change so he's he's still suffering the economic effects of this But he he does at least have some Income coming in With with hopeful that it will be a full reopening in the near future. He was interviewed by the denver. Post says shelly. Bradberry back in december mr hard dre was he said we have nothing against minorities. Minorities are fantastic. However everybody all americans all colorado ins have been hurt business owners of all kinds whites as as minorities. We're just doing our part to raise a flag and say hey this just doesn't seem right to carve out money for only one subsection of colorado. Who have been hurt and ignore the others. Is he concerned about backlash. It's an interesting time And i think that's your heart rate went into this with his eyes wide open As to how his his lawsuit could be misconstrued as he says. Of course we think this relief should be available to every minority owned business. That is that has been harmed by the pandemic on an equal footing with everyone. It's government needs to approach this in a in a race color blind way and not in a way that is discriminatory so hopefully there will not be negative backlash. I think he feels very supported by his community. That understands That that small businesses have have been harmed by the pandemic and thinks that you know everyone should be equally able to seek this kind of relief. So obviously you're hoping for a positive outcome. But glenn where do you stand right now in terms of this case where does it go from here in the very early stages we filed a motion for what is called a preliminary injunction asking the court to say that Well the case is resolved.

With the case as glenn. Roper is a pacific legal foundation attorney on that case and he weighs in this morning. Glenn welcome to the show. Thank you good morning. Certainly appreciate your taking the time. All right let's dive right in. Shall we now. We are aware that covert nineteen does disproportionally affect people of color but is that disparity enough for the state of colorado to base. Its relief on not in our view as you know. Gail small businesses are the backbone of the economy and with the covid nineteen pandemic. They've been devastated. And not because there's a problem with their business plan or or something like that because the government has required them to stay shut So when the government then offers release a as the colorado legislature did. It has to do so in a racially neutral way. The constitution prohibits them from provided not released solely based on race and Rather than than doing it based on race We think they should be providing relief on the basis of those businesses that are harmed that have been damaged and detrimentally affected by the by the pandemic shutdown orders. Now there's president. What does the supreme court had to say about If you're going to engage in race conscious measures it has to be done. In very limited circumstances and in fact they apply. What is called strict scrutiny. It's the the harshest Sort of review. The the most extreme review the supreme court applies and it means the government. If they want to do something based on race they have to have a compelling governmental interest. It can't just be something that they think is important. It has to be compelling and then they have to apply that restriction in a way that is the narrowest means possible Obviously with the the history of race in this country they the supreme court wants to make that they are very careful about when the government is allowed to make racial distinctions because those sorts of things can often go badly and unfortunately that seems to be the primary narrative these days with the so-called societal systemic racism and again it's important to point out it's a difficult conversation to have because this is not to say that there's anything against minorities or minority owned businesses. But glenn as you pointed out. Covert nineteen though it does disproportionally affect minorities. Well it's also knocked the legs out. It's colorblind it's knocked the legs out from the drivers of not only colorado's but the nation's economy and we're talking small business and every small business that has been affected In this in this terrible way by the pandemic should have equal access. You know it makes no sense to say that a business that hasn't been affected. That is doing great. you know. Maybe they have an online business or something that is that is thriving during the pandemic makes no sense to say they should have access to release whereas a non minority owned business that is struggling and suffering the effects of the pandemic has no access to it because simply because of the race of their owners. Six forty two now thirteen ten. Kfi a thirteen ten kfi k. Ain't dot com joined by glenn roper Pacific legal foundation attorney. All right. so. What is the overarching intent of this case obviously to remove the race based component. But beyond that yeah we. We would like the relief to be distributed as soon as possible. Certainly not trying to do anything to slow that down in fact that we think they should speed it up but when they when they do it The government has to do it in a way that is not discriminatory on.

And she's going to pick up the story from here. Virginia lives in a rural area on a fourth generation. Cattle ranch that been her family of for close to one hundred and twenty years. We inherited it from my great uncle. Who was a grand champion calf roper. During the great depression he traveled the radio circuit with his brother. You know they were fortunate enough to be born into families that had a lot of land and so they were able to run cattle and support their families. That way and my dad was enamored with that history of cowboy culture. He virginia and her brother on the land. She remembers running around as a little kid watching her. Dad moved these huge cows from field to field and she thinks growing up this way set the foundation for a love of nature that eventually led her to go to grad school to study climate change. And that's where she was. When in two thousand eleven he had still all the cattle on the ranch because the drought guy particularly bad and There was a national study. That came out shortly after that drought showing bet Climate change me the heat waves longer and temperatures more intense that year and so we know that climate change has already been impacting us. There had always been droughts in south texas though. Virginia says they got worse and worse over time. It meant the grass wouldn't grow. Which meant virginia's dad had to start buying a lot of food to keep his cattle alive so much so that he wasn't making money off his ranch anymore. You know it's kind of funny. Because i was always kinda hassling. My dad was like dad counts. Produce methane and methane is really bad for the climate but when it came to the point where he had to sell them because he realized a drought was so bad. It put things into a different perspective for me. Because i realized that he really didn't have a choice. I realized that we had kind of gotten into this plane. With climate change where it wasn't theoretical. It wasn't something far off in the future that could happen. It was it was happening now

"Roper to mentally. Automobile. Thanks very much for joining us. So tell us about the mental podcast. Why did you decide to setup? Sure. So mental to the podcast today signifies mental health is four nine, which sometimes I regret because it has quite long. But a few a good idea of what it's about. And I set it up back in twenty eighteen having had a lot of experience of mental health through my life from quite young age and I wanted to turn that into something positive. You know what I land in terms of my own mental health biddle say tree volunteering with the likes of Samaritans Nightline which is at the students Sashi university equivalent. Andrea and other kind of mental health related work like that. I'm so it was really just a way to take what I'd learned on trying to something positive I'm breakdown stigma because I recognize just how. Much. Worse. Dot Com make people's mental health as if the issues on bad enough then you're getting judged from discriminated against for them. Can you tell us about your personal experience of mental health winded now, it'll kind of stopped fear walk kind of experiences have you had. Show. So it's always a bit tricky to. figure out how they might experience and started and part of the eyes of the problem. Right because mental health is difficult at times to articulate because it affects how brains work could affects our cognitive abilities and part of that for me was experiencing depression from a young age. One of my symptoms is memory loss on. So this whole parts of my childhood where my mental health was bad which I have now. Gaps, in memory. So it's difficult say how how that started but right from some of my earliest memories I remember. Actively being happy which I now know was pretending to be happy. But at the time, it just felt like happiness and presenting in a way that the adults around me felt comfortable with K. not side mess. I had a seemingly good reason dot just became like a natural part of my life and it wasn't until looking back on that years. Later I realized that was depression in the I was showing masking behaviors partly because of the stigma. Can encourage us to try and pretend that Iraq-iran went. And was there anything that happens to take the when you go to older like maybe a diagnosis or something that helps you manage things better. Sure. Definitely. So I reached a point with depression in particular. Why? I was so bad I. I sort of had already realized what it was. So this was. Much later. So early adult head. I. The symptoms which is becoming more more overwhelming, and so actually the thing I was struggling with most of the time was I wasn't sleeping format. And I had previously been someone that hadn't had any issues around insomnia and so that was a real kind of breaking point where I I can't do this anymore conscious put up with this. I'm trying push symptoms down and just. Tried to walk as what it felt like on. In trying to figure out what was going on, I was dangled out of reading. Online and I think still exists today is a little quiz type thing on the NHS website the it went diagnose you with depression, but it will ask you questions and give you an idea of whether you should at least go to the GP. And I kept taking tasked I. Think I got quite obsessive were thought to be honest. and. I was even you continue judge yourself with this this kind of stuff right and so I was trying to kind of downplay my answers to be maybe I'm exaggerating and even when I was downtime, my aunt says every time it was telling me it's go see the GP I'm so that is what I did and I went in Dan with a head full of hair old symptoms and I thought well, what if I bias wife they just what if they just diagnosed me with this because I listed out the symptoms from the website And you know, I think all of this, it's a reflection of. Full shattering. Mental Health Education. I'm involved in now my understanding was so little I didn't Tan lie so much of the stigma that it was easy for me to believe the I was doing something wrong that this was some kind of character flaw as opposed to this being an onus and something I was struggling with and disaster the with. So. When I went to the GP rather than telling them about the depression symptoms I fake his moral insomnia on when I still a depression diagnosis that I thought to myself. Okay. This this really is And That was initially just a massive weight off to know that there is something. Thank going on from the name I don't have to feel like this is supposed out that.

But in some ways are actually quite explicit and I think I'd point initially to an exchange ahead with journal Goldfine who just retired a month ago but a year ago at the same event even though it wasn't virtual at the time, it was in Bersin. Gerald goldfine chief of staff had a press conference I was asking about next generation air dominance in my big question was about the propulsion side of it congress at the time was was expressing quite a bit of frustration with the air force because it's been billions of dollars on adapted cycle propulsion, and there was no publicly available roadmap to use it, and so they're saying.

It's it's bit difficult because there's a live classification while tennis and so there's only so much. We can say they said L. L. Region his exact quote he said he's here's our. Strategy. We have five key technologies that were investing in that we don't intend to have all come together on a single. To be able to do the mission. In the future, we expect these technologies to be adaptable to existing platforms, and we expect these technologies to come forward into a family. I, know use family assistance a lot but really, and truly that's the next generation dominance. So as a so our intent is to keep these joint technologies moving aggressively and have them come together. They will all mature in accelerate at different paces as they become ready. You'll see US adapting them on existing platforms, sensors, and weapons, and also looking at new platforms sensors. So that was what he said and then I I didn't understand what really what he was getting out. I just didn't he didn't answer my question. So I repeated my question. What is the you know? When are we going to see a roadmap for adaptive cycle propulsion? And he his answer was there has to be a test article to be able to take some of those technologies to mature. That's probably about as far as I can go in quote right so what he was saying they're in retrospect is we have five technologies. We're GONNA put on in Gad. He didn't say but sounds like adaptive cycle propulsion is one of them and You know they need a test article, a flight test demonstrator in other words. To validate the majority of the technologies in-flight. So. That was almost as explicit as the air force has been about that. But really there was a time when. The Department of Defense was even more explicit about the the plans to actually use flight demonstrators for next generation are dominant and it goes back Congressional testimony in twenty sixteen at the time Frank Kendall who was the Under Secretary of defense for Acquisition and technology a acquisition technology in the justice. It has written testimony. included this written test, the House of Representatives. twenty. This was actually in calendar year twenty fourteen and it was going to launch a program in. Fiscal year. Twenty fifty. and. It was the aerospace innovation initiative that would be managed by the defensive ends. agency Darpa. Anna says the A I- Aerospace Innovation Initiative includes a new program to demonstrate advanced aircraft technologies in explains. As, well, as the ongoing previously mentioned advanced engine technology, which is adapted cycle. A. I is goals include strengthening. The critically important design teams in the defense industrial base reducing lead. Time. For Feature Systems the explains will not be engineering. Development Prototypes for have residual operational capabilities. The results successful the development and demonstration explain program will inform future aircraft acquisitions. So that gives you a sort of the background on how these. flight demonstrators came into existence and what their purpose walls. We know from Rocha's comments that the flight demonstrator that he's referring to be called a full-scale flight demonstrator so as a subscale or Even, a large aircraft that is meant to extrapolate the flying qualities of even of an even larger aircraft. So You know but there's still a lot we we don't know about it but that's generally the gist of how we got

Tom Hanks goes to war (again) in the World War II drama
"19. So many of these big blockbuster movies are now going to be available on your TV as opposed to the movie theater, and this one was for the movie. Industry for the movie studios. This one must have been right on the line. Richard Roper, the new Tom Hanks movie Greyhound Big budget, lots of special effects. It's a World War two. Venture film right and they chose. They chose to go with Apple TV plus to release it. Exactly right. In fact, you know the beginning of this year way back in the day when we were going to movies in theatres I talked about this is one of the most highly anticipated films of the year because, as you mentioned it's a Tom Hanks film. And who has Dunmore in terms of entertainment movies and miniseries for World War two that Tom Hanks of her Saving Private Ryan and then band of brothers in the Pacific and Greyhound. He wrote this and actually stars in this row. And although it's not based on a true story, it's actually based on a novel. It's inspired by the very real events of the Battle of the Battle of Atlanta. Sick, which you know was waged on the Atlantic Ocean was longest running battle in all of World War two. And it was all about convoys of allied ships trying to get supplies across the pond, while German u boats were attacking from all ends. That's what this movie is all about. Now. The invention. Tom Hanks connection to war, too. And the press junket for the release of this film, So the people obviously they go out. They publicized All They want to talk to you about its Corona virus, right? Yeah, it's just tell your side of the times. Well and, of course, because Tom Hanks and his wife, Rita Wilson, were among the very, very first public figures to test positive. I believe you could correctly. I believe they're in Australia make making a movie. So, you know, I understand that and Tom Hanks has got such a no, he has. He has earned a role as more than just an actor, writer director producer. He's someone who's been around for a long time, but involved in a lot of things very intelligent and Educated guy when it comes to current events, so people do want to hear from him Now. The unfortunate part about all of this row is that Greyhound is not a great movie. In fact, I'm giving it to and 1/2 stars for the biggest disappointment. And I'll tell you why you remember. A few months ago we talked to Harrison Ford, who had done a movie called Call of the Wild or the Procedure. I he talked about how in a lot of these battle movies, war movies. They overdo it with the CG, and he actually said member, he actually said there are too many bleeping planes in the sky in a lot of these movies, and that's exactly unfortunately, what happens here. They did film some of this aboard a ship, I believe was the Canadian ship. But mostly it's CG Iroh, and it's very obvious that it is because you know the swooping cameras. It's almost like a Michael Bay movie. And so many planes in the sky and so many ships, etc. And so great special effects and then a lot of technical jargon. The problem is, we don't get to know any of the other characters other than the Tom Hanks character, and we got Haven't we don't know what we talked about the great War movies and you and I have talked about a lot of them. We did a podcast around Memorial Day about some of the great American War films. We get to know the characters first, we're emotionally invested in them, and then if something happens to one of them, or there's heroics or tragedy, it has an impact in this movie. All the characters are so superficially drawn that at one point, but Tom Hankscharacter asked a guy on the ship. He gets his name wrong and goes. I'm sorry, I'm still learning who everybody else's. And I'm like we are, too and that's never a good thing in a movie like this. Wow. Oh, that's That is so disappointing. When does it I'm still gonna watch. When does it premiere tonight? Or tomorrow? Tomorrow? And I will say this, too. I do think it might look better on the big screen. You know, maybe those special effects on a giant screen they either could've been magnified or they would have played better. He watching it in a home viewing environment. It just took me out of the film like I'm saying, Well, they clearly did this with computer generated stuff, and I think they just fell in love with the
20 Minute Fitness
20 Minutes With The CMO Of Crossrope
"Well surge. Welcome to the show firstly. Thank you very much for taking your time. Talk today now. Thanks for having been really interested in this topic. It's something that I've always tried to do. The pulse like I'm sure many people that have customers of the past said they struggle with it and they give up so we're talking today about jump. Raven crossroads in particular. Can you give us a bit? More context about crossroad. An-and really how you came to be involved with with with business. Yeah absolutely so cross up. It's a it's a unique jump rope. Workout experience We created some time ago. Really with with this idea of giving people a funny way to get fit you know wherever they go And we'll get into the benefits of jumping rope. I'm sure but I joined the business back in two thousand and fifteen but really been jumping rope probably for the past ten twenty years. I'd say I think I I. I picked it up when I started boxing back university on known to go to tool for endurance and whatnot and I found that it helped a lot with my work that I played a lot of basketball growing up and still do and then you know even when I put the boxing gloves down. It's just one of those tools that have always kept around in my gym bag and enjoyed using it as a one tool. Eventually a came across the crossroad system. Back in two thousand twelve two thousand thirteen when it? Kinda I got introduced to the market became close friends with our CEO. Right right now and in the system similarly changed the game for me. Kind of became one of my go-to tools. It's really because of its unique design about our systems. We've created interchangeable set of jump. Ropes where you can easily clip in different weights and ropes in and out of your handles and that gives you more engaging in Bristol workout. Then you know what you get with a single. Abc Rope so similar to how you'd maybe have a wide range of dumbbells in gym and we like to offer different weights. Ropes that help with different fitness fitness goals. And so another thing that we really focus on on like jump. Ropes are ropes are S- are primarily designed for jump rope fitness so we've built on specifically along with their APP workouts. Help you get lean build endurance and build strength so they're primarily. Ah Fitness tool and with that. We've we've Created a companion fitness APP. That gives you access to you. Know hundreds of really workouts You can follow along to and do do anywhere really in thirty minutes or less which considering these schedules these days. Everyone's on the go. All the time is exactly what we need to even now the situation of like staying indoors. It's perfect time to pick up a rope and just do that anywhere wherever you in a house for example yeah exactly Amina Sometimes You know we'll get a lot of questions about the benefits of jumping rope. And some of them are obvious and some of them are not obviously great for building endurance and Cardio floodway but the portability of the tool especially in today's day and age on the ability to take your workouts anywhere and like you mentioned them at home is really important for a lot of people you know even before the craziness of today. We talked to a lot of people people who love the ability to be able to squeeze in a workout at lunchtime. You know we've pulled our community recently just to kind of get a sense of the versatility and different ways. People are adding jumper workouts into their routine and at the list really goes on. I mean some like I mentioned earlier. They use it does warm up others use it. As a workout finisher others added to their strengthen hit circuits some use it in place of Iran or combine it with Yoga practice. And so it's really. It's a really interesting tool for anyone who's looking to add it to whatever it is that they're all redoing. I hadn't even thought about the benefits to things like footwork. When we're talking about boxing honestly stereotypically in films and such you see people always jumping rope and you think that's obviously that warm up endurance. But you don't even consider the additional supplementary benefits like footwork which is obviously such an important parts of sports like basketball boxing even things like NFL. Everything thoughts you still need to have quite good agility. And that's the such supplementary benefit the thing necessarily comes to mind. Yeah no absolutely and that's something. I saw firsthand when I first started using it back in the day in day in. And it's something that I feel like. Sometimes there's a bit of a stigma with jumping road that you need to be well coordinated or athlete to be successful with it. And that's something we've really tried to think about when we built the cross rope system and what we've learned by running workshop shops especially early on is that we've really found a way to drastically accelerate the learning learning curve and That religious goes into something. I'm sure we'll hit on. But it's the the weighted rope aspect and so when a lot of people. I started jumping rope or they try to learn how to jump rope. It's typically with the CDC ROPE. Something you'd you'd find out that. Nisar Department Store what most gyms Carey in trouble with that. Is that throat this to light? And so if you're struggling with coordination or tiny becomes really difficult to tiny jumps and that's where a lateral a lot of mistakes in triplets. Happened in where the frustration comes from. And so what we've done is we've introduced a range of weighted ropes in for example when we speak with our customers were just getting started. We often recommend a half pound. Roper Market Lean set and it's ideal getting started or because what it does is it slows down your rotation and that extra little bit of resistance makes it easy to feel the rope turning around your body and that helps with the timing the coordination so you know we have seen people who try jumping rope with plastic. Pbc ropes. I should say in the past go from struggling to string along fifty to one hundred jumps within five minutes so I think the that piece of it. The coordination is super important from both sides of it. You're already in athlete. Experienced Stephanie. Going TO HELP IMPROVE. foot speed. And if you've never jump rope before you feel like you're not at that level yet. In terms of coordination there are ways where the system kind helps you learn this particular skill and exercise very quickly. I think what's touchback on? Then is that you mentioned. There is some stigma. Wave jumping rope. We think because of it being portrayed in films and other forms of media crossovers and all sorts. It makes us being the we. The average person have tried it before. Call just dive in and do it. And I've always said to myself the arm too heavy footed or to not like my feet. I'm really bad at jumping rope so I just stopped myself from other trying even though I know. Be a helpful tool. So how are you trying to help? People get over the stigma to understand that it can be for everyone. And if they gave the Patrol I really understand what you mean by. Having a slight resistance failed to get more controlled. How you hoping people vs into that transition of like item do this. We try to tackle it a few different ways. And I'll tell you a quick story. I mean when we were at the Arnold Classic in Ohio a couple of years ago you know they have like two hundred thousand people walking by and we held a little sixty second challenge at our booth where it was basically a you know trying to do as many jumps as you can with a one pound and winner at the end you know. We gave away a couple of a couple of sets and it was really opening to us to see just how little people know about way. Ropes feel that you get and it's and it's you know when we see you know big guys come by and trying to do this challenge and the just getting absolutely winded within sixty seconds looks on their faces really kind of told everything and so for us. It's been a challenge to kind of share that experience through our marketing and through our storytelling and saint goes with you. Know getting started because of the stigma because of the challenges people may have faced in the past and what you may be seeing in the media the ways we try to approach it is really through education and so we try to share the experiences of other jumpers in our community who have kind of gone through that experience themselves we have a lot of tutorials and beginner oriented. Workouts are fitness at and so we help guide people through those where it really helps. You know how to get started. I feel with other jump ropes. You don't really get the content piece in that sometimes make makes it really difficult because you you get the rope in. You're not sure what to do with it. And then you know we I think the most interesting pieces just People don't know what to compare it to the weighted rope aspects. Because they've never tried anything like that and so we really try to make it as easy as possible to give cross rope a try so you know we we have a sixty day. Return policy rarely used. You know we we tell people hate. Get the ropes experience for yourself. See The difference. If you don't like it we'll take the we'll take it back and give a full refund in through those efforts. We've got a lot of people to give the system a try and once you try it. You instantly know the difference. He has certainly see it for yourself. Because when you feel that resistance heavy rope turning around your body at it's a game changer. As it was for me when I first tried

'Bachelor' alum Jade Roper Tolbert loses $1M fantasy football prize: report
"Something crazy an unbelievable just happened this week it involves a reality star football in a million dollars so here's what happened there's a woman name jade Roper Tolbert now she was on the bachelor shoes I guess he was a contestant on the bachelor now what happened is jade was playing some daily fantasy football and you won this was a the twenty dollar contest in you win that you put in for twenty Bucks you win fifty whatever she won a million dollars she got first place in a million dollar contest with draftkings and how did she do that well she had the maximum amount of submissions because daily fantasy is it playing Dale fed daily fantasy sports is a sport like it is a real competition with all sorts of gamesmanship and it's crazy how sophisticated those people are you might think oh well it's just you're set the football line of how complicated could be no you can set a hundred and fifty line ups if that's increasing your chances of winning a million dollars will then you're going to do that right giving you know somebody else is doing that they want to win that million dollars they're putting in a hundred and fifty so you're going to do that and you're going to do it with a different submission every single time what's the point in doubling up that doesn't help your chances so you're gonna do a hundred and fifty different line ups that all fit the requirements of the budget for daily fantasy football and that's what she did and she did it successfully and she won a million dollars for does get a little complicated because allow me to introduce you to jade's husband Tanner Tolbert because Tanner Tolbert is a professional daily fantasy sports player so he would know as well as anybody what the number of submissions is and how to change those lineups and make it so they're all unique and so when jade Tolbert had one draftkings goes okay let's look into this is our million dollar winner and they realize woke her husband's a professional the place daily fantasy sports something's up here or at least could be up here and let's look into it so they continue keep looking and what they find out is that the husband who is a professional player basically used his wife as a proxy to get an additional hundred and fifty submissions because he could log in and he could compete the contest any completed a hundred fifty one and that's totally okay and his wife technically speaking could show up and put in another hundred and fifty lineups and that's okay so now if that happens in a way in the same household you've got three hundred chances to win a million dollars and so it seems like a simple impractical in fair thing right but here's the catch is that none of the lineups overlapped SO draftkings goes and and you would have to ask yourself what are the odds the two people that live in the same house we're one of them's a professional daily fantasy sports player what are the odds that they didn't talk to each other these are the hundred fifty one of that I'm going to be putting out and these are the other hundred fifty line ups that you're going to be putting out and we're totally going to be in unison and not overlap even a single line up out of three hundred what are the odds of they wore working together for that and so at that point they lost a million

A New Century Series for the Air Force?
"Jen do s you the managing editor for defense and space. I'm here with Pentagon editor Lee Hudson and defense editor Steve Trimble and we are coming off the Air Force Association's Association's Annual Air and Space Conference Twenty Nineteen while they're Lee and Steve interviewed the Air Force's acquisition position chief will roper so they had a very interesting conversation to admits from that which we will share with you you today on this podcast Steve. Can you set up some of your conversation regarding the Air Force's future Lider the program right okay so the important thing to start off with is that Dr Roper unveiled or is revealed at the at the vent this week his his concept for the digital century series within the next generation air dominance program and to impact all of that next generation Schnur dominance is basically what the Air Force started working on in two thousand sixteen looking at what would replace the F twenty two after twenty thirty has gone through several evolutions over time where it started out as a family of systems anchored by like get next generation fighter a sixth generation fighter something that was kind of similar in in in sort of conceptual approach to an F. twenty two but applied to what it would look like in twenty thirty two something that Roper wh is promoting you know especially over the past year is this this century series model when he discusses that and you're going to hear that a bit on this clip from our interview our exclusive interview that Lee and Lien I had with is a reference to this progression of fighters that emerged in the nineteen fifty s starting with the F. One hundred proceeding through the to the a four point. Oh five and finally the six all were produced within probably four or five years you know going through a design development and production process I think they were all produced essentially hundreds of aircraft some more than others and with with sort of a checkered in you know history in terms of of success which we touch on in the interview but you know we really what you're going to hear. Row Dr Roper talking about is his vision for digital for for setting up a digital century series that is focused based on creating digital models engineering models and and actually a whole new aircraft production system that is is really quite different than how the space industry is set up to work today so we can hear a bit of that in this clip. That'll queue up right now now so yes. There are a lot of things from history that we could look at at the F. One seventeen is it's a great example of an airplane that was built rapid way to meet an immediate need in a lot we can learn from it and we could easily call aw what we're trying to achieve within gather digital f. one seventeen nearly downside of that as a single airplane move under it is interesting about this series period which is not the but thorough multiple vendors were multiple types of aircraft that that were designed Nick for production by by all pilots not just an exceptional vile sued trying to design a baseline respond pilot that can be formed by everyone clearly not all aircraft successful debate series was actually successful endeavor we don't reference to let's say we want to return to that in terms of results more than curious returning where we need multiple multiple types of aircraft currently no rapidly that are built with a mindset that production maybe necessary and that they'll need to the in flown joining combat not just billed as an experimental system. I don't think that's that's why adding digital to the front should is not something different digital engineering open systems modular architectures and then finally digital engineering do creative for Maradona's the building systems and it brings in to the aviation world what has existed in the automotive for years Toyota and many other Ottoman and auto manufacturers at focused on creating a better car building process and then are now going cars with it. We want to do the same thing with aircraft you want to build a better aircraft process and build the aircraft and we if we do that. We'll see a lot of the same benefits. The automotive industry is saying that will get designed shops design companies that focus making aircraft have noticed actually manufacture them. I'm and mass beyond the moldable we think we'll be able to do small batches without paying a premium for the design and the learning curve round to to get to a production aircraft that has all the kinks out of it and finally be able to do modernisation very rapidly offered action and the production line as a hot micro small teams came with a hard tooling without large facilities back to the design boutique in aviation view that as being very similar to the nineteen forties or small teams with great design principles to build an aircraft and now all these digital tools even the aircraft so complicated complex the digital digital tools the Holy Trinity referenced Irons All of that flag so we can get back that earlier era on and I've seen enough examples from industry three to prove to need this is a bet worth making a risk taking so now in GATT and provides an opportunity security so the difference between and Gab before versus now is not the aspiration to build aircraft technologies that might be useful to put on it. It's building a better aircraft building process and the trying to realize the benefits instead it with gifts and among those small quantities that can spiral rapidly integration into the design because of the open open architecture and then finally lowering the sustainment of cost is a digital tools also allow you to attack a life cycle cost of the

Could We Build A Real Gundam?
"Hello earth. Actually. Hello universe. Yeah. We are here to tell you that. In addition to Tuesdays and Thursdays when you can get your regular stuff. You should know episodes. Just as you always have the last ten thousand years await tenure seniors. We're now adding a whole new episode of a spin off show. That's really the same show. It's just a shorter episode. It's called short stuff. Yeah. We said, hey, sometimes we have topics that maybe aren't robust enough to fill out a full forty five minutes stuff. You shouldn't episode though. We don't want to shortchange these topics these people, and so let's just make them short. Get over here. Short stuff and Trump in our feet, right? Exactly. It's kind of like the Roper to our three's company. Yeah. Or it's kinda like after mash to mash exactly, although it's like neither one of those. We're regular links. This is shorter everybody. Yep. So you can go to apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Or just look for it in your feet every Wednesday from your friends. Josh chuck. Jerry at stuff, you should know shorter is sometimes better. Welcome to bring stuff from how stuff works. Hey, rain stuff on Lauren vocal bomb. And if science fiction has taught us anything it's that giant piloted robotic humanoids will eventually be essential to the protection of everything we hold dear invading Taiji from another dimension, sending the acres rubies from planet, doomed better assemble voltron, and as James Cameron's aliens, toughtested nine hundred eighty six even a non-combat next suit can make all the difference against an extraterrestrial threat. Another influential example is our x seventy eight dash to Gundem the titular piloted giant robot entered the world in nineteen seventy nine as part of Yoshiyuki Tomino mobile suit Gundem franchise, which remains popular today. But could we build our own Gundem's? The simple answer is. Yes. In fact, scientists have been tackling various aspects of the technology since at least the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries during that time both Russian and American inventors explored the possibility of mechanically enhanced excess skeletons to eight humans in various. Physical movements since that time we've continued to see X skeleton advancements aimed at injury rehabilitation space travel industrial labor, and yes, even military combat and okay power armor is nice and all, but it's hardly a giant robot that stomps around and punches monsters in the face. What about true towering meccas? Well, the answer here is also a yes. Within the field of robotics. We've seen tremendous achievements in the creation of remote control autonomous and semi autonomous machines today. Military drones haunt the skies over various global combat zones and space exploration probes have delivered wheeled Rovers to other worlds, we've even given our wheeled robots arms for tasks from bomb dispersal to Martian soil, sampling and deep sea exploration. But none of these mechanical minions boasts legs, even the humanoid robot developed by Nasr's Lyndon, B Johnson space center didn't acquire climbing legs until its second iteration for proper Gundem's. One day walked the planet will need proper robot legs and this to his featured into the work of various robotics programs. The most famous of these is Boston dynamics military funded Walker programs such as big dog and cheetah and not just because they inspired the killer robots in the black mirror episode metalhead because while aerial and nautical robots can get by just fine without a leg to stand on terrestrial, robots are a different matter. A wheels are great on the road and unobstructed landscapes but legs provide the most versatility for diverse. Environments true. We like structures only rarely occur in biology such as the bacterial Jehlum a structure found in such species as the bacterium e coli legs on the other hand are natural selections primary solution to terrestrial transportation. So it makes sense to copy evolution in this regard. And biomedical engineers have looked to all manner of leg arrangements for inspiration from humans to millipedes. But here's the catch led to me. Movement requires a great deal of programming complexity and power it made feel easy for most of us. But our minds and bodies are highly evolved for the task even fully piloted Gunda say one where it's movements are mapped on those of the pilot would require a tremendous amount of biometric engineering and semi autonomous units would require the dexterity and spatial awareness to avoid the pitfalls of for example, the ED two oh nine in RoboCop which stomped around on two feet, but was incapable of navigating stairs. But the mecca dream is strong while various robotics companies continue to develop the necessary technology. Fi fans also go at it alone. Functional mecca suits have strolled the Playa at burning man and paraded at various conventions and Japanese engineer Masaaki Nagumo built a working life size model of a gun Gundem in two thousand eighteen the mecca dubbed L W Mona no FU stands twenty eight feet tall. That's about eight point five meters and weighs seven point seven tons or about. Seven metric tons. It's too. Big to leave the factory space that it calls home. But Ngubane rinse it and other meccas out for a little under a thousand bucks an hour. It's not protecting the world from alien attacks. But it's quite a hit for kids birthday parties. Though, one note here if alliens or giant monsters do attack well meccas might not be the best option. Anyway, as was pointed out in the magazine, popular mechanics, the acres from the Pacific rim films are entirely outclassed by existing aerial bombers and attack helicopters.
