She has some great insight not only in the protein category but eating occasions in general. On today’s show we will be taking a deep dive into the wonderful world of pork, meat, and protein. Join us as we discuss: - Changing consumer needs - 9 dinner occasions identified in the new Dinner at Home in America research - Do Millennials and GenZ know how to cook meat? - Perceptions of pork and meat - The role of Retail POS - How has “plant-based” impacted the pork category? - What’s new and innovative in the pork industry? - Transparency

Today, Tara-Ann Dugan gives us a deep dive into the wonderful world of pork which includes barbeque, pork chops, and bacon! We learn how pork is trending and in what ways the consumer eats the meat. We go into the insights on how the data was collected (if you’re into that like I am) and also some market trends that might be related to your field. Tara also has a great history in consumer insights and I loved talking to her about her career journey. Her 4 year McDonald's stint, for instance, was super informative to see how a giant company moves forward. Form all-day breakfast, to food mobile ordering apps. We apologize in advance for any sound issues in this interview. There is a high pitched kettle-like noise sporadically throughout the interview and we’ve tried multiple methods to reduce the noise the best we can. We recommend that you listen to this podcast not using headphones in case you are sensitive to high pitch noises. Other than that, enjoy the show. About Tara Tara-Ann Dugan (Tara) joined the National Pork Board as the Director of Consumer and Marketplace Insights in 2018.  With experience spanning 12+ years across McDonald’s Corporation, IRI working with Hillshire Brands (now Tyson Foods), Nielsen, and Hammacher Schlemmer, Tara has a strong demonstrated background steeped in syndicated research, food and foodservice as well as innovation, and consumer & shopper insights.  Her passion is bringing quantitative and qualitative data together to illuminate the consumer story while making strategic and actionable recommendations to drive growth.  Tara is a proud alum of University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Roosevelt University, where she received a BS in Business Administration in 2005 and MS in Integrated Marketing Communications in 2008.  Tara is also a self-proclaimed Foodie!

Our time is precious. We all know it. But how precious? It all depends on how much of it we have. Three hundred years? Four hundred? One hundred thousand years? The cosmos stretch out before us, inscrutable and infinite. The only limits are your imagination, and the unstoppable multitudes of self-cloning asexual crayfish threatening to extinguish all galactic mass. Discussed: dulcet tones, glitter bombs, helping, the hone zone, self-cloning mutant crayfish, human extinction via water lobsters, wax housing the coati, being back, thin-faced fortune-smashing robot arm, charming fortune cookie fortune-writing mom, redacted fortunes, robots making robots making microchips, The Matrix but with crayfish and the point is to get rid of glitter, Twista's extended family line obliterating all stellar mass Send us your questions at questions@importantiftrue.com.

For some reason, 66 episodes in, we're just not doing r/showerthoughts. But you know what, because r/showerthoughts is such a damn goldmine of beautiful brain nuggets, it also probably won't be the last time we do r/showerthoughts either. If you're an Internet novice, and unfamiliar with a shower thought, it's basically that tiny momentary epiphany that wanders into your brain when you're doing something mindless and banal like taking a shower, doing the dishes, or boiling noodles. Sometimes these thoughts are unmistakably profound. Sometimes they're funny. Sometimes they're extremely strange. Either way, they're super good for reading and discussing over a podcast. Also, the crew discovers the glorious strangeness of Hammacher Schlemmer, our new sponsor. Sorry TrueSwords, you've been temporarily bumped.

When we walked into your living room, and our eyes fell on your fine imported Brazilian Eucalyptis Coffee Table With Integrated Aquarium, we couldn't help but notice that the smartphone, tablet, or other in-home electronic device that signifies your wealth and worldliness was left open to Important If True. "How captivating you must be," we thought, as we leafed through the episode and wondered which of life's biggest conundrums you'd be puzzling through with us, what advice you sought and hoped we'd help answer. Things like: Is a mirror really a reflection of ourselves if it only works when we smile? Do strangers offer helpful advice so they can live on in your memories? And, how do you tie a shoe so it really stays on there? Impressed with your taste, depth, and apparent largess, we buy ourselves a seven million dollar replica Wild West town with your credit card before you notice. Discussed: Shaq feeling Twitterers around him, defunct online service GEnie, putting in contact lenses, remembering strangers, being a memorable stranger, WikiHow: How to Take Out Contact Lenses Without Touching Your Eye, mirror that only works when you smile, coercive smile-based compensation at customer service jobs, tying your shoes like a square knot instead of a granny knot, Every Time I Tie My Shoes: A Novel, Every Time I Tie My Shoes: Short Fiction, Caldecott Medal-winning children's book Every Time I Tie My Shoes, Hammacher Schlemmer, The Sharper Image, Brookstone, Amphibious Sub-Surface Watercraft ($300,000), 23-Acre Wild West Town Amusement Park ($7,000,000), Genuine 7 Foot Robby the Robot ($32,000), a lot more stupid shit from Hammacher Schlemmer that I'm not going to list all of, what kind of '80s you are, "'Big' or Murderer?", one second a day video made while staring into a smile mirror, Hammacher Schlemmer hoarder house, $30,000 $15,000 Important If True podcast appearance, Zoltar fortune telling machine, The Gotham Golfcart, the shitty Hefner fantasy of Hammacher Schlemmer, weird old early 20th-century aspirational status objects, "Be the New Schlemmer" marketing campaign, J Peterman (catalogue), J Peterman (Seinfeld character), ridiculous strategies to profit on the back of the inane 17-hour time-delay ghost concept from last week's episode, tattooing your naked ghost, the complex path of the Earth through the infinite universe Send us your questions at questions@importantiftrue.com.

They say that what you own owns you. If that’s the case then I sure do hope that whatever owns me comes from the 167 year old Hammacher Schlemmer catalog. Consider being owned by a batman golf cart that shoots flames out the back…I’d be okay with that. Or how about a personal submarine, that’s also a sports car? Not too shabby. Yep, thanks to people like today’s guest, Sarah Plovanich, Hammacher Schlemmer, 167 years after it’s creation, is still a hub for high quality, very unique gifts. Sarah is a buyer for the catalog where she does everything from evaluate invention submissions to travel the world in search of the next great products. She’ll tell us all about what it’s like to have the coolest job ever.

V: Hello everyone, welcome to the world says for this week, I'm Value.L: Guten Abend, I'm your old friend Leonahr.V: Leo,前几天儿童节你收到了什么礼物了？L: A Baymax toy from my newphew. It's really a sweet gift since Baymax is my favorite.V:Oooops.L: What?V:我只是没想到你真的过了儿童节而且还收到了儿童节礼物！L:You are so old fashioned. 就算是成年人也有颗童心的不是！况且我只是没有过儿童节的年龄，却有着过节的身高和智商。V: Yeah, it sounds really make sense. I can tell that adults really enjoy the Children's more, especially the rich ones. L: So let us open our eyes to see what have the rich people done with their toys.V: To begin with, there is a Toyland for the wealthy. The things we dreamed of as children — the desire to explore the undersea world of Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea or the longing to have the powers of a superhero — are often fascinations that stay with us our whole lives.L: It's no wonder, then, that no one really outgrows toys. The difference is that the toys get bigger, better, more expensive and more high-tech as people get older and richer. And no one needs mum's permission.V:有钱人的玩具在我们看来极尽奢华，完全意想不到，但有钱人自己觉得稀松平常。L: It's just so cool. I'm a Verne's fan. And Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is my favorite. If I had the next one, I swear I could fly. Submarine: the deep blue sea深蓝色海洋里的潜水艇The world of deep-sea exploration enchants many people as children. And when they can play it out on their own as adults, many do. V:企业家理查•布兰森爵士就是一位出名的潜艇主人。他曾计划让游客乘坐潜水艇游览太平洋的马里亚纳海沟，还将“内克尔仙女号” 潜水艇留在了他的私人岛屿上。电影导演詹姆士•卡梅隆把他的潜艇“深海挑战者号”捐给了科研小组。L: Triton Submarines based in Florida specialises in small personal luxury submarines, which run on high-tech batteries and are custom built for each client. The Triton 3300/3 is the company's most popular model, according to Harley O'Neill, Triton's manager of sales and marketing, and is used for recreational diving, exploration, research endeavours and filming. It fits three people and can travel to a depth of 1,006m (3,300ft, hence the name).V: "It used to be helicopters and now it's submarines," O'Neill said. "Now everyone is asking if you have one." One prerequisite for owning the sub? A superyacht for the docking station, says O'Neill.L: Value, have you ever dreamed of flying?V: Yeah, of course, I believe everybody has dreamed of flying though I have acrophpbia. So the next toy is for flying?L: Yep, and it's name is Hydro Powered Jetovator喷水飞行器Blame Peter Pan but even as grown-ups, many of us still wish we could fly. As kids, we ran down the garden flapping our arms or leapt from a low tree branch in a bid to take off, sometimes even bruising or breaking a limb in the process. In adulthood, achieving that free-flying feeling is a must for some adrenaline-seekers, whether through means like skydiving or base jumping.V: But take heart. You don't need a plane or bridge to fly. Hammacher Schlemmer's Hydro Powered Jetovator, a flying jet-ski like water craft, lets riders shoot 7.6m (25ft) into the air and corkscrew, back flip and barrel roll mid-air, while hovering above the water. Riders can even plunge a little over 3m (10ft) below the water, while still seated on the craft, for a quick undersea view.L:你还记得当年我们看过的四驱兄弟吗?V:恩，讲的是两个玩具赛车手兄弟的故事。当时我还买过一个小赛车呢。L: 有钱人可比我们更会玩。They just level up Off to the racesThese aren't the matchbox cars and electric toy racetracks most kids play with. The custom raceways from Slot Mods USA are painstakingly handcrafted to a client's specifications, including sections that precisely replicate real-life tracks whether that be the Le Mans circuit or the Monaco Grand Prix, said David Beattie, the company's founder and president.V:The tracks he builds often are anywhere between 3.7m to 9m (12ft to 30ft) long and 3m to 6m (10ft to 20ft) wide and can include structures such as grandstands and features including skid marks airbrushed on the tracks. Depending on the size, scope and detail of the track, they can take anywhere between three to six months to build.L:Slot Mods赛道的拥有者包括很多汽车爱好者，他们的车库里收藏着各种豪华轿车。著名车手博比•拉哈尔（Bobby Rahal）也是Slot Mods赛道的主人。贝迪目前正在为美国电视名人杰伊•莱诺（Jay Leno）制作赛道。这些客户的一个共同点，就是他们对赛车永恒的爱。“收到我们的赛道模型，他们就像圣诞节早上的孩子，收到了让他们重返童年的旅行车票。”V: Leo,明明都是好玩的玩具，为什么我这么悲伤呢？L: 那是因为我们没有钱啊。V: 说多了都是泪啊，马上就考试了，我还是去看书吧！L: So let's end up here today.V: 感谢吴晓鹏的精彩制作，see you next weekL: Bye bye!

The FAA definition of an aircraft, drones and agriculture, UAV privacy issues, FAA solicits a UAS Center of Excellence, Amazon Prime Air, X-47B milestone, drone legislation, and a successful UAV company despite regulatory uncertainty. News FAA Thinks Two Pound Drones Aircraft. But 1100 Pound, Manned and Flying Craft?  Unsure. The FAA's June interpretive rule treats model airplanes as aircraft. But what about other devices that fly - like the Flying Hovercraft that Hammacher Schlemmer sells for $190,000? Are those aircraft too? With integrated wings and a 130-hp gasoline engine driving a 60" wood/carbon composite thrust propeller, this hovercraft manufactured by Universal Hovercraft as the 19XRW-Hoverwing, can fly up to 70 mph over obstacles up to 20 feet high. When asked about the status of wing in ground effect machines, the FAA replied that they haven't made any determination because they have not received any applications for certification. Commercial drone dealers take farming to new heights Tellus Agronomics AgriEye drone The University of Maryland Extension and Wye Research Center understands that technology plays key role in the future of precision agriculture. So they brought together local farmers, agricultural educators, and representatives from farming technology tool companies. Perhaps not surprisingly, UAVs were a prominent part of the event. Virginia-based consulting company Tellus Agronomics demonstrated their AgriEye Drone, a quadcopter for agronomists that features autonomous flight, live video feed, aerial mapping simulator, and RC simulator pre-flight training. Helicopter Ag Pilot Harassed by UAV in Illinois The National Agricultural Aviation Association reports that an ag helicopter was buzzed by a fixed wing “UAV” that caused the pilot some distress. The pilot notified the FAA FSDO (Flight Standards District Office) who called local police, and they are seeking to prosecute the owner of the “UAV.” Only it was not a UAV, it was an Extra 300 aerobatic R/C plane. President Barack Obama to issue executive order on drone privacy Last month, President Barack Obama announced that he would be signing an executive order placing the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) in charge of developing voluntary privacy best practices for unmanned aerial vehicles. We haven't seen an executive order on this yet. FAA Solicits Center of Excellence for UAS Applicants The Federal Aviation Administration released a solicitation for a new FAA Center of Excellence (COE) for Unmanned Aircraft Systems. This COE was mandated by Congress under the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2014. This “COE will be tasked with identifying current and future issues critical to safe integration of UAS into the nation's airspace.” The COE will study: detect-and-avoid technology, control and communications, low-altitude operations safety, compatibility with air traffic control operations, and training and certification of UAS pilots and other crew members. The deadline for submission of proposals is September 15th. Amazon Will Test Drone Delivery System in India Amazon is reported to begin testing of Amazon Prime Air in Mumbai and Bangalore, India, possibly as soon as late this year. Why India? Because commercial drone use in India does not need a permit from India's Directorate General of Civil Aviation. Video: The Navy's X-47B drone reaches a new milestone Testing of the U.S. Navy X-47B continues, and recently it was launched from the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt, as was an F/A-18E Super Hornet. Carrier-based unmanned and manned aircraft had not previously flown together. The end game for the Navy is the Unmanned Carrier-Launched Surveillance and Strike aircraft (UCLASS). Drone manufacturer grows amid uncertain market DSLRPros in Oakland Park, California manufactures and sells drones and equipment for professional unmanned aerial filmmaking. The company started in 2012,

It all began in 1848 when German immigrant William Tollner opened up a modest hardware store at 221 Bowery. Tollner’s store became known for its high quality products, retailing some of the best mortise gauges, saw bummers, and plumb bobs … Continue reading →
