It was learned on the 25th through interviews with involved parties that the Japan Pension Service (JPS) secretly re-evaluated over a thousand cases that had previously been denied disability pension benefits in fiscal 2024, as part of an internal review following media reports. Normally, such cases are not re-evaluated, making this an unusual move. In response to inquiries, the JPS denied the allegations, stating, “There are no such facts.” However, Kyodo News has confirmed the existence of internal documents indicating that re-evaluations are being conducted. Some staff members have said, “The JPS's response is false.” Episode Notes: ‘Secret Re-evaluation of Disability Pension Cases Following Media Reports – Over 1,000 Denials Reviewed by Japan Pension Service': https://barrierfreejapan.com/2025/05/26/secret-re-evaluation-of-disability-pension-cases-following-media-reports-over-1000-denials-reviewed-by-japan-pension-service/

In her highly anticipated return to the podcast, Dr. Malka Simkovich takes us on a journey through the rich and complex world of Second Temple Judaism, drawing from her acclaimed book Discovering Second Temple Literature. We begin with the extraordinary discoveries of the Cairo Genizah and the Dead Sea Scrolls, and explore why these moments of preservation are so central to understanding the period. We then unpack the deep identity tensions faced by the Jewish people—especially in communities like Alexandria—as they navigated dual roles as both imperial citizens and members of a semi-sovereign Judea. Dr. Simkovich clarifies the role of sects during this era, showing how minority movements like the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Essenes related to the mainstream Jewish population, and challenges the assumption that sectarianism defined the age by highlighting the resilience of a shared Jewish identity. The episode also features a deep dive into the fascinating literature that expanded upon biblical texts, including a close look at the non-canonical Testament of Abraham. Finally, we end with a preview of Dr. Simkovich's latest book, Letters from Home, and discuss what inspired it and the conversation she hopes it will spark.---*This episode is dedicated to the refua shelema of our dear friend Yaakov ben Haya Sarah Malakh---• Bio: Dr. Malka Z.

* Critical Flaw in Next.js Allows Authorization Bypass* Hackers Can Now Weaponize AI Coding Assistants Through Hidden Configuration Rules* Hacker Claims Oracle Cloud Data Theft, Company Refutes Breach* Chinese Hackers Infiltrate Asian Telco, Maintain Undetected Network Access for Four Years* Cloudflare Launches Aggressive Security Measure: Shutting Down HTTP Ports for API AccessCritical Flaw in Next.js Allows Authorization Bypasshttps://zhero-web-sec.github.io/research-and-things/nextjs-and-the-corrupt-middlewareA critical vulnerability, CVE-2025-29927, has been discovered in the Next.js web development framework, enabling attackers to bypass authorization checks. This flaw allows malicious actors to send requests that bypass essential security measures.Next.js, a popular React framework used by companies like TikTok, Netflix, and Uber, utilizes middleware components for authentication and authorization. The vulnerability stems from the framework's handling of the "x-middleware-subrequest" header, which normally prevents infinite loops in middleware processing. Attackers can manipulate this header to bypass the entire middleware execution chain.The vulnerability affects Next.js versions prior to 15.2.3, 14.2.25, 13.5.9, and 12.3.5. Users are strongly advised to upgrade to patched versions immediately. Notably, the flaw only impacts self-hosted Next.js applications using "next start" with "output: standalone." Applications hosted on Vercel and Netlify, or deployed as static exports, are not affected. As a temporary mitigation, blocking external user requests containing the "x-middleware-subrequest" header is recommended.Hackers Can Now Weaponize AI Coding Assistants Through Hidden Configuration Ruleshttps://www.pillar.security/blog/new-vulnerability-in-github-copilot-and-cursor-how-hackers-can-weaponize-code-agentsResearchers Uncover Dangerous "Rules File Backdoor" Attack Targeting GitHub Copilot and CursorIn a groundbreaking discovery, cybersecurity researchers from Pillar Security have identified a critical vulnerability in popular AI coding assistants that could potentially compromise software development processes worldwide. The newly unveiled attack vector, dubbed the "Rules File Backdoor," allows malicious actors to silently inject harmful code instructions into AI-powered code editors like GitHub Copilot and Cursor.The vulnerability exploits a fundamental trust mechanism in AI coding tools: configuration files that guide code generation. These "rules files," typically used to define coding standards and project architectures, can be manipulated using sophisticated techniques including invisible Unicode characters and complex linguistic patterns.According to the research, nearly 97% of enterprise developers now use generative AI coding tools, making this attack particularly alarming. By embedding carefully crafted prompts within seemingly innocent configuration files, attackers can essentially reprogram AI assistants to generate code with hidden vulnerabilities or malicious backdoors.The attack mechanism is particularly insidious. Researchers demonstrated that attackers could:* Override security controls* Generate intentionally vulnerable code* Create pathways for data exfiltration* Establish long-term persistent threats across software projectsWhen tested, the researchers showed how an attacker could inject a malicious script into an HTML file without any visible indicators in the AI's response, making detection extremely challenging for developers and security teams.Both Cursor and GitHub have thus far maintained that the responsibility for reviewing AI-generated code lies with users, highlighting the critical need for heightened vigilance in AI-assisted development environments.Pillar Security recommends several mitigation strategies:* Conducting thorough audits of existing rule files* Implementing strict validation processes for AI configuration files* Deploying specialized detection tools* Maintaining rigorous manual code reviewsAs AI becomes increasingly integrated into software development, this research serves as a crucial warning about the expanding attack surfaces created by artificial intelligence technologies.Hacker Claims Oracle Cloud Data Theft, Company Refutes Breachhttps://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/oracle-denies-data-breach-after-hacker-claims-theft-of-6-million-data-records/Threat Actor Offers Stolen Data on Hacking Forum, Seeks Ransom or Zero-Day ExploitsOracle has firmly denied allegations of a data breach after a threat actor known as rose87168 claimed to have stolen 6 million data records from the company's Cloud federated Single Sign-On (SSO) login servers.The threat actor, posting on the BreachForums hacking forum, asserts they accessed Oracle Cloud servers approximately 40 days ago and exfiltrated data from the US2 and EM2 cloud regions. The purported stolen data includes encrypted SSO passwords, Java Keystore files, key files, and enterprise manager JPS keys.Oracle categorically rejected the breach claims, stating, "There has been no breach of Oracle Cloud. The published credentials are not for the Oracle Cloud. No Oracle Cloud customers experienced a breach or lost any data."To substantiate their claims, the hacker shared an Internet Archive URL indicating they uploaded a text file containing their ProtonMail email address to the login.us2.oraclecloud.com server. The threat actor also suggested that SSO passwords, while encrypted, could be decrypted using available files.The hacker's demands are multifaceted: they are selling the allegedly stolen data for an undisclosed price or seeking zero-day exploits. Additionally, they proposed offering partial data removal for companies willing to pay a specific amount to protect their employees' information.In a provocative move, rose87168 claimed to have emailed Oracle, demanding 100,000 Monero (XMR) in exchange for breach details. According to the threat actor, Oracle refused the offer after requesting comprehensive information for fixing and patching the vulnerability.The threat actor alleges that Oracle Cloud servers are running a vulnerable version with a public CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) that currently lacks a public proof-of-concept or exploit.Chinese Hackers Infiltrate Asian Telco, Maintain Undetected Network Access for Four Yearshttps://www.sygnia.co/threat-reports-and-advisories/weaver-ant-tracking-a-china-nexus-cyber-espionage-operation/Sophisticated Espionage Campaign Exploits Vulnerable Home RoutersCybersecurity researchers from Sygnia have uncovered a sophisticated four-year cyber espionage campaign by Chinese state-backed hackers targeting a major Asian telecommunications company. The threat actor, dubbed "Weaver Ant," demonstrated extraordinary persistence and technical sophistication in maintaining undetected access to the victim's network.The attack began through a strategic compromise of home routers manufactured by Zyxel, which served as the initial entry point into the telecommunications provider's environment. Sygnia attributed the campaign to Chinese actors based on multiple indicators, including the specific targeting, campaign objectives, hacker working hours, and the use of the China Chopper web shell—a tool frequently employed by Chinese hacking groups.Oren Biderman, Sygnia's incident response leader, described the threat actors as "incredibly dangerous and persistent," emphasizing their primary goal of infiltrating critical infrastructure and collecting sensitive information. The hackers demonstrated remarkable adaptability, continuously evolving their tactics to maintain network access and evade detection.A key tactic in the attack involved operational relay box (ORB) networks, a sophisticated infrastructure comprising compromised virtual private servers, Internet of Things devices, and routers. By leveraging an ORB network primarily composed of compromised Zyxel routers from Southeast Asian telecom providers, the hackers effectively concealed their attack infrastructure and enabled cross-network targeting.The researchers initially discovered the campaign during the final stages of a separate forensic investigation, when they noticed suspicious account restoration and encountered a web shell variant deployed on a long-compromised server. Further investigation revealed multiple layers of web shells that allowed the hackers to move laterally within the network while remaining undetected.Sygnia's analysis suggests the campaign's ultimate objective was long-term espionage, enabling continuous information collection and potential future strategic operations. The hackers' ability to maintain access for four years, despite repeated elimination attempts, underscores the sophisticated nature of state-sponsored cyber intrusions.Cloudflare Launches Aggressive Security Measure: Shutting Down HTTP Ports for API Accesshttps://blog.cloudflare.com/https-only-for-cloudflare-apis-shutting-the-door-on-cleartext-traffic/Company Takes Bold Step to Prevent Potential Data ExposuresCloudflare has announced a comprehensive security initiative to completely eliminate unencrypted HTTP traffic for its API endpoints, marking a significant advancement in protecting sensitive digital communications. The move comes as part of the company's ongoing commitment to enhancing internet security by closing cleartext communication channels that could potentially expose critical information.Starting immediately, any attempts to connect to api.cloudflare.com using unencrypted HTTP will be entirely rejected, rather than simply redirected. This approach addresses a critical security vulnerability where sensitive information like API tokens could be intercepted during initial connection attempts, even before a secure redirect could occur.The decision stems from a critical observation that initial plaintext HTTP requests can expose sensitive data to network intermediaries, including internet service providers, Wi-Fi hotspot providers, and potential malicious actors. By closing HTTP ports entirely, Cloudflare prevents the transport layer connection from being established, effectively blocking any potential data exposure before it can occur.Notably, the company plans to extend this feature to its customers, allowing them to opt-in to HTTPS-only traffic for their websites by the last quarter of 2025. This will provide users with an additional layer of security at no extra cost.While the implementation presents challenges—with approximately 2-3% of requests still coming over plaintext HTTP from "likely human" clients and over 16% from automated sources—Cloudflare has developed sophisticated technical solutions to manage the transition. The company has leveraged tools like Tubular to intelligently manage IP addresses and network connections, ensuring minimal disruption to existing services.The move is part of Cloudflare's broader mission to make the internet more secure, with the company emphasizing that security features should be accessible to all users without additional charges. Developers and users of Cloudflare's API will need to ensure they are using HTTPS connections exclusively moving forward. This is a public episode.

Dr. Simkovich taught in a Catholic University and now is at JPS and YU. She continues her interfaith dialogue throughout. But here we spoke, among other things, about the concept of diaspora and exile - what is a Judean, a Judahite, and an Israelite. These are terms that are often thrown around interchangeably, but understanding the meaning and etymology of each helps us understand the spatial and temporal elements of being Jewish, of Judean roots, and in the context of today. Letters from Home: The Creation of Diaspora in Jewish Antiquity (Eisenbrauns, 2024) is an analysis of letters from Jewish Antiquity and spans the Persian and Babylonian Empires in space and time and touches upon the Greek and Roman Empires. Is diaspora curse? If a main prohibition was for Israelites to return to Egypt, how is one of the most ancient Jewish communities found in Egypt? How and why did they get there? Was it a negative or positive evolution of the exile?

After his Honorable Discharge on August 30 and new status as a Retiree with Permanent Disability, JP was given an appointment for his first visit to his local Veterans Affairs Office, which is close to the large military base where he was formerly stationed and out of which he performed most of his covert missions. At Veterans Affairs, JP saw many other retirees and veterans and was given a new ID, etc. After his processing was completed, he was asked to leave the main lobby area and go down four flights of stairs with a small group for further processing. After going down the stairs, JP was in a different lobby/hallway area with up to 20 individuals of varying ages, the oldest being around 80 years old. An officer in civilian clothes briefed the 20 veterans/retirees that they were all former covert operatives and that now they would not be compelled to be part of covert operations but could volunteer. The officer then asked for volunteers for an upcoming mission, and JP was among those that volunteered. JP added that while these upcoming covert missions through Veterans Affairs would be purely voluntary, he was still in contact with the senior military officer who has greenlighted him in the past to reveal missions. JP was told that he would still be required to perform missions with active covert teams when needed. This would likely be for missions to areas that he has experienced in the past, such as the Atlantic Space Ark and the Underground Ant People colonies. The launch of the third book with JP's experiences, US Army Insider Missions 3, which contains documents and more details of JPs military retirement and the reasons for it has just been released.

Gnar Couch Podshow 157 is somewhere between our best and 157th worst show. Cumb with us as we discuss a plethora of important topics and sometimes talk about mountain biking to bore you. We've dedicated ourselves to living our brand as we prepare to move the studio from Cheef's apartment, where his gay neighbor (geighbor, as it is) stomps around like Shrek all night, to JP's trailer. We're looking for a wrap sponsor so we can yank the thing around with Rob's Taco podcasting our high-brow humor in quaint bike towns across America. Boston Rob is now lusting for sponsors like a teenager with his first Playboy. Wanna give us money? Hit him up. Or just check us out on Patreon. We take money any way we can get it. That's probably why JP has a realistic sex doll named Miguel squatting in the back of his van. He estimates Miguel's weight at 150 pounds, 130 of which is most likely peen, according to Eddie Pliers, a long-time listener. Other topics include self-anointing elk who piss all over themselves to attract a mate. Give it a try if you're having trouble getting laid. We also go in depth on whether or not it's possible to die choking on semen. (Guess what? It is, and it's reportedly happened.) And, since our tangents are about as stable as a unicycle on a tightrope, JP and Cheef randomly spend about five minutes trying to convince JP and Jimmy to actually start watching Trailer Park Boys. So, pour yourself a bag of paint and prepare to breathe deep because this is another nonsensical shitshow you'll want to soon forget. Join our Patreon for as little as $4.20/month.

Dean's Chat hosts, Dr. Jeffrey Jensen and Dr. Johanna Richey, are joined by Dr. Travis Motley, a successful podiatric physician from Fort Worth, TX. Dr. Motley currently practices at the John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth, TX. Dr. Motley graduated from Texas Christian University with both his Bachelors in Biology/chemistry as well as his Masters in Biology and then went on to the Des Moines University College of Podiatric Medicine and Surgery. Dr. Motley completed his surgical residency program with John Peter Smith Hospital where he now serves as the residency program director! Tune in for a fun discussion on the JPS Residency program, its structure, the clerkship experience, and his teaching style/philosophy. His passion for academics and research has helped support a career of lifelong learning and exploration. He has won many research grants and published numerous peer-reviewed papers. In this episode, he talks with us about being a principal investigator in clinical trials. We also discuss fellowship opportunities, the current trends, the benefits, and most importantly, which residents benefit the most. One unique aspect of the JPS program is its integration with other medical specialties within the hospital. Residents have the opportunity to rotate through various departments, including internal medicine, emergency medicine, general surgery, vascular surgery, and more. During these rotations, residents fully immerse themselves in the specialty they are working in, taking on the role of an internal medicine doctor or a vascular surgeon, for example. This approach allows residents to gain a broader understanding of different medical specialties and enhances their overall training. The program challenges residents from the very beginning. Rather than easing residents into the program, JPS takes a "drink out of a fire hydrant" approach, exposing residents to a high volume of cases and responsibilities right from the start. This intensive training is designed to push residents to their limits and help them develop strong clinical skills and time management abilities. Research and scholarly activity are also emphasized in the JPS program. Residents are required to complete a research project that is publishable by the end of their third year. The program provides funding and resources to support residents in their research endeavors, including access to statisticians and an office of clinical trials and research. This emphasis on research helps residents develop critical thinking and analytical skills and contributes to the advancement of podiatric medicine. While fellowship training is not a requirement, the JPS program has seen some residents pursue fellowships after completing their residency. Fellowship training provides additional specialized training and expertise in a specific area of podiatric medicine. The decision to pursue a fellowship is highly individual and depends on the resident's career goals and interests. Overall, the field of podiatric medicine offers a range of career paths that allow practitioners to specialize in specific areas and provide specialized care to patients. Whether it's wound care, trauma, hospitalist-based podiatry, or other options, podiatrists have the opportunity to pursue their interests and make a significant impact in the field.

The smaller the grid, the higher the price. Islands have been plagued forever by a higher price of power. This is an inherent consequence of their small scale. Add on the top some natural catastrophes, and you end up with a poor and costly service for consumers.The good news is that there is a new generation of Utility managers which has started to tackle the problem. Of course, results are unperfect, as for one Hawaii there is one Puerto Rico. It is not just about money; it is about changing the culture and the rapid adoption of new technologies.To illustrate what can be done at reasonable budgets, we have invited Steve Berberich, CEO of Jamaica Public Service Company Limited (JPS). After running the California ISO for a decade, he has opted for a new challenge rather than enjoy a well-deserved retirement. Jamaica's energy system is highly dependent on high cost imported fossil fuels; petroleum imports account for over 80 percent of electricity production. Furthermore, electricity theft is a massive problem. Finally, Jamaica is always at the mercy of a devastating hurricanes.Jamaica Public Service Company Limited (JPS) is a privately held integrated electric utility company and the sole distributor of electricity in Jamaica. The Company is engaged in the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity, and also purchases power from a number of Independent Power Producers (IPPs). The change of attitude is to present this stable island of 3m as a perfect testing ground for all possible technological innovations. JPS invites all innovations to be rolled out in Jamaica, which then can leapfrog some legacy part of the industry. ------This Episode partners with Bruce Douglas' Global Renewables Alliance Let's triple renewables in the next ten years.https://globalrenewablesalliance.org/ -----The Episode is sponsored by PV CASE.

Hello again everyone, I'm excited to bring you Episode 388 of The Outdoor Biz Podcast and my conversation with Adam Cramer, founding Executive Director and current CEO of Outdoor Alliance, a national coalition of outdoor recreation advocacy groups breathing new life into the conservation movement by harnessing the outdoor community's passion. Adam has brought new sensibilities to conservation work that have resulted in hundreds of thousands more acres of protected landscapes and so much more . . .

Presented to by: Show Notes Was there an adventure or maybe a person that inspired you to work in the outdoor biz? I've had a lot of adventures that have met a lot of wonderful people. but no, to precisely answer your question, there wasn't an adventure or a person that got me oriented in this space professionally, but, had a lot of inspiration from a lot of folks along the way. How did you get into it professionally? For me it was through kayaking and living in Washington DC. So I moved to DC 25 years ago right outta law school and, had a ton of law school debt, like a lot of people, and DC's an awesome place to learn how to be a lawyer. And it also is probably one of the best whitewater cities in the world. I've heard that. I've heard a lot of people say that. Yeah, it's interesting. Yeah. Wouldn't think so, but yeah, it, [00:02:50] so moved here and got into it and have these two kind of pleasantly parallel lives, being a corporate environmental lawyer during the day. And, got pretty deep into the whitewater scene here. And how'd you get into kayaking? Yeah, that's a good [00:05:10] question. I was really deep into climbing. That was my jam for years. And I didn't really have any connection to DC at all. but I moved here for [00:05:20] work and I moved here with a girl I was dating in law school. And she had the idea, she said, let's learn something that's new for both of us. And we're living in a little basement [00:05:30] apartment and, And she's Hey, let's learn how to kayak. And I thought, all right, this is not gonna work out that well. It involves like a lot of gear. and we're in this little place. I'm like, all [00:05:40] right, whatever. So we go and we learn how to go into a pool session where you learn how to roll the kayak in a swimming pool. and she hated it. And I thought, wow, this is a lot of fun. Yeah. And, And then we split up and I had a lot of time on my hands. Yeah. so I just spent a lot of time kayaking. What was the inspiration for Outdoor Alliance? [00:08:00] Yeah. great question. I think, the idea was that, to diversify, the constituency for conservation. And, early two thousands, [00:08:10] this is before my time, before my involvement in outdoor lands, there is this concern that, to really make advancement, for conservation, you gotta bring [00:08:20] more people to the table. And from other perspectives. And the traditional conservation community, environmental community has done so much. for, for conservation and, protecting the [00:08:30] outdoors, but it could be divisive at times. And, there was some thought that, what other constituencies, what other communities could have [00:08:40] conservation values, but have a different identity, different perspective. And there was, an investment over time with the hunting and angling community to see if, folks that care about [00:08:50] fishing and hunting and, clean air and clean water. Could find common ground, about broader conservation issues. And that was the genesis for organizations like 50 [00:09:00] or Roosevelt Conservation Partnership and others. And Outdoor Alliance, the idea of it arose out of, arose out of that, like if you could get hunters and anglers to work [00:09:10] together for clean air and clean water. Was there original plan to just do something different and just evolve or just [00:09:50] feel let's, we need to do something, let's figure it out and do it. Yeah. Yeah. it was people, this one guy in particular, Mike Finley, who is a career park service guy, really [00:10:00] senior in the park service and ended up, Working for the Turner Foundation, Ted Turner And Sienna. And, the foundation's got this deep commitment to conservation, but also, coming [00:10:10] up with innovative approaches to it and Finley's perspective was that, we need to get other folks involved in conservation. And it was his [00:10:20] idea to reach out to the member organizations that eventually made up Alpha Alliance and see if they were even interested In working together. and that was, there was a theory [00:10:30] that they would, they, if they worked together and had some support, they could find common ground. If they found common ground, they could maybe make a go of this. But that was [00:10:40] it. It wasn't like, let's form an organization. Nah, it was, somebody had a good question. Figure out how to work together and then figure out where it goes from there. That's smart actually, [00:10:50] cuz all the, takes all the pressure off. who knew? there was a good, really wonderful all the organizations Access Fund, American Whitewater. And the have, really punched [00:11:00] above their weight and gotten so much done for their respective communities and protected different parts of the country harnessing the passion of their members in their broader community. What do you think it is about those connections that drive us then to protect them? The natural resources? Is it just because we want to be able to go back and show our kids, or is it a little [00:11:40] more, I don't know, raw than that something just drives us, that it needs to be protected for whatever reason? Yeah,it depends on what do you mean by [00:11:50] protection? do Yeah, that's true. For sure. Like these experiences, when you have an experience there, it becomes, depending on the experience and with whom you're [00:12:00] having the experience. it could be part of your identity, how you see yourself, what your values are, and you know what your identity is and [00:12:10] what's important to you, forms how you spend your time and resources. There's a lot of different things you could do. but if there's. If it relates to your identity, you're more likely to pay [00:12:20] closer attention. And find people that share that identity and share that, that perspective. So on, on one level, you ha you have an experience in a place [00:12:30] someplace is important. You wanna you to pick up, you wanna take care of it in a physical way. Mm-hmm. When When I, mm-hmm. When I I, hike out from, pipe back to the car after I'm done boating, if I [00:12:40] see a bottle, I pick it up and put it in my boat. But then,[00:12:50] all these places that we experience, or many of them are on public lands and public waters. And if you're gonna protect a place at scale in a way that's meaningful [00:13:00] and enduring, it goes beyond picking stuff up off the ground or working on a trailhead. You got involved in the, and being civically engaged. And [00:13:10] learning, about what conservation means and being involved and advocating for these places. And I think that, that type of work it arises is linked with. [00:13:20] Your sense of identity and your sense of values. And so you guys do a great job working with small organizations, but they can only do so much in terms of advocacy. How do you inspire them to work together? How do [00:14:50] you get that coalition of everybody working on the same thing? All right, so it's like the fish, right? The fish, these little fish by themselves, they're doing their thing. But when they [00:15:20] all get together and coordinate and they look like a big, giant fish, that's empowering and you can get a lot of [00:15:30] stuff done. And I think, these smaller organizations, and the member organizations at Alpha Alliance, they're, some of them are pretty, pretty stout, Big staff and big budget. But [00:15:40] they're, you, they all have a national network of local chapters. But the idea of, of, finding common ground across, other colleagues, it's not just limited to the [00:15:50] outdoor space. It's like that's how anything gets done In this country, In a democracy, you gotta find consensus. And I think it's a, this melding of passion for place, and whether it's rivers [00:16:00] or mountains or, trails or the shore, it's different versions of the same thing. And everybody within the community realizes that currency, like this connection of place.[00:16:10] And they, there's also this belief that if we work together now a track record, coupled with that belief that if we do work together, we get more stuff done. You could flex a little [00:16:20] more. You could. informed outcome in a more positive way than if you're just doing your own thing, thinking about, the world from a more of a provincial perspective, right? There's nothing [00:16:30] wrong with that, but the possibility of getting stuff done that's consequential and in line with your values is very alluring. So these next [00:16:50] two questions might be, somewhat similar. The first one is about how the outdoor alliance is structured, and then let's talk about the four directives. Talk about the structure first. [00:17:00] Yeah, for sure. So we're coalition, By, by design and by culture. And the way that we're structured we're, a 5 0 1 We're a non-governmental organization. [00:17:10] And, we're made up of these 10 member organizations. and then in the beginning it was just five, and then we expanded, to welcome in other organizations. So currently it's [00:17:20] the Access Fund, the American Canoe Association, American Whitewater, the International Mountain Bicycle Association, which of wild lands. [00:17:30] The Mountaineers, Winter Wildlands, Mazamas, American Alpine Club, Surfrider Foundation, and Colorado Mountain Club is our newest member. I think they joined back in 2018. [00:17:40] So we're 10 organizations. We've got a board of directors. Some of the member organization CEOs, sit on the board. they've got some seats that kind of [00:17:50] float with the organizations. and we have at large board members, so pretty conventional From that standpoint, but we make sure that leadership for the organization for Outdoor [00:18:00] Alliance is informed by, folks that represent the community directly. and then is also, informed by other folks that are not,work at Surfrider Foundation, for example, or, [00:18:10] so we've got a mix of board members. And, so that's the basic legal structure. and in terms of consensus, there's, I'll look at the world in a slightly different [00:18:20] way, but there's this culture of trying to find common ground. And it takes work. but we're able to find enough common ground. So that we've got plenty of things to do. And [00:18:30] it's like you don't agree on everything, but there's so much we do agree on. Yeah. Focus on that. How often do you get together? [00:18:40] So we get together as a board four times a year. Sometimes via Zoom, sometimes in person. And, and the [00:18:50] folks that are, the policy leads and the communication leads for the member organizations they meet on a weekly basis, Keeps everything current. So very consistent. Um,regular contact [00:19:10] amongst everybody within the coalition. You have four directives, and that meeting every week helps you achieve directive number one. Understand the [00:19:20] issues deeply. If you're getting together that often you can stay on top of them. Tell us a little bit more about what that means. yeah. So we coordinate and run these weekly meetings with, [00:19:30] recall these, Folks, the joint policy shop, the JPS, and it's basically like a think pa, a think tank of outdoor dirt bags, who also are like [00:19:40] policy geniuses and strategic maestros, right? They're, it's like the policy and the comms leadership of all our member organizations. they're professionals, they're part of the community, and we bring [00:19:50] them together and we leverage that expertise to see, figure out like what's going on in Congress, what's going on with the forest service. And what do we think? What [00:20:00] are the opportunities? So that's what keeps things fresh and it enables, consensus and, a collective perspective. Yeah. Yeah. And meeting weekly just, that really [00:20:10] drives that home cuz you never have time to forget. You're back at it. You back at it the next week. That's right. It doesn't go stale. That's awesome. And you build long-term relationships [00:20:20] and trust with all these age people and agencies. How do you do that? Yeah, with, with meeting with people pretty regularly. And it starts with, [00:20:30] convening the leaders of the outdoor community. We meet with ourselves most importantly. cuz that builds trust and it builds a, common perspective on policy priorities. [00:20:40] And, if you're gonna get involved in policy and advocacy, you gotta get a sense of what do you want? What are your outcomes? What are your desires? What is, what does the community want? So we spend a lot of time with the, with [00:20:50] ourselves to figure that out. And then we spend a ton of time working with, policy makers from across the country, like legislators, people that have elected the Congress and their [00:21:00] staff, and. The administration, whoever's in the White House and all the folks that work in the administration and land management agencies like Yeah. Forest Service and Bureau Land Management.[00:21:10] and we meet with all these folks, like pretty consistently, like I think over the last several years we counted, we had about [00:21:20] 400 meetings Over the last few years with policy makers and their staff. And it's us and. the folks from the joint policy shop and that's what we do. [00:21:30] In terms of building these relationships, cuz if you, you just show up cap in hand and you're like, Hey, we want this. Yeah. Or would you consider that? Yeah. You show up every [00:21:40] three months. Yeah. That doesn't work. Yeah. You gotta do it consistently, build a dialogue. They understand your perspectives, who you represent and they know who you are. You guys know who [00:21:50] everybody is with that many times getting together. And that closeness, that's really the other part of it too, is just you really cement those personal relationships, which makes it [00:22:00] easier. Sometimes tougher, but easier in general, I would think. And you guys rely a lot on data to inform the approach [00:22:20] to conversation, who's data, whose conservation data is it? It's, I'm sure there's all kinds of people throwing data at you, right? Yeah, it started with like in the very early days[00:22:30] of Outdoor Alliance. I had a question for the, for the member organizations and it was, Like, where's all this? All the stuff [00:22:40] like where are all the trails, right? The rivers, like I know anecdotally where I go kayaking. And where good mountain bike happens to be. But is it mostly in the Forest Service, [00:22:50] national Forest or blm? Or how important are the parks? And I ask this question because we had to figure out like who do we build relationships with? Which agencies [00:23:00] are the most relevant? And nobody really knew. That anecdotal information AW. On the other hand AW, did know they had a, they maintained a national database [00:23:10] of River, river, Put ins and Whitewater runs. Aws, American Whitewater, we, American Whitewater. That's right. And we realized like, we need to figure this out. And, so we [00:23:20] built out this, GIS lab a number of years ago, and the design is that we would partner with entities that have data. That the [00:23:30] user community used like Mountain Project or Trail Works, and, would be able to use and aggregate that data for policy and advocacy purposes. So we partner with [00:23:40] entities that own the data and they license it to us so we could use it to inform and enhance our advocacy work. And it's been a game changer. So knowing [00:23:50] where climbing routes are if there's a wilderness. Proposed wilderness designation is important. It has an impact on fixed anchors. and then also if you could [00:24:00] immobilize the broader community to protect a place, to be able to get a sense as to, what the intersection is between a landscape and these different pursuits, and by [00:24:10] extension, these different communities is profoundly important. Going back to our earlier conversation, it makes it personal, right? We gotta know where the stuff is, We could [00:24:20] sort through all the things that are going on and identify the things that are the most consequential, the most relevant to our community. And those are the things where we could have the biggest impact.[00:24:30] That must be an amazing database. you guys just have everything in the catalog. It's fairly complete. Like I don't know. I don't think [00:24:40] there's another entity that's got access to, aggregate. All the human powered outdoor pursuits in the way that we do. That's amazing. Now it's not consumer facing. Like those, that's where the apps, if you [00:24:50] wanna know where to ride your bike, if you live in Minnesota, like you're not coming to outdoor lines. You go to the apps. But how much mountain biking is in,[00:25:00] the G mug national forest for the purposes of forest planning. We, that's important. And we were able to get that data and share it with the Forest Service to inform [00:25:10] their decision making. Yeah, It will impact mountain biking, so yeah, that's pretty cool. And you do a lot to [00:26:00] empower individuals to make a difference How does that happen? you guys get together a lot as groups it sounds like. Yeah. And then people go back and do their thing. Are they [00:26:10] empowered to go take what they've learned or what they know and interact locally? I'm sure you want them to do that. Yeah, for sure. For sure. And it's a great [00:26:20] strategic value for the organization to pursue our mission and we do that. Because, we're generous with our expertise. And, public policy is complicated. [00:26:30] Yeah. And there's, why should people know about all the nuance? And, but we do. So what we do is we educate the community and, about what's going on and provide them the tools to speak up [00:26:40] and take action. And community is, They've taken us up on this invitation at scale. over the last several years we've had, I don't know, a quarter million [00:26:50] messages from folks within our community to policy makers, on matters that relate to conservation and sustainable and equitable access. we connect the [00:27:00] dots between what's going on and people's passion. How to show up and they do. And that tell you, Rick, that's huge. Profoundly inspiring. So this next question is a little, uh, not sure. I think this came from a buddy of mine actually, but do policymakers and especially elected [00:27:20] officials really care about what the outdoor community thinks? It seems like sometimes it seems like they do, but then other times you look at what the [00:27:30] results are and go, wow, you didn't even listen to what they said. Y might sound strange, but, look [00:27:40] at the world from an elected official's perspective. Have a little compassion, they got 50 million things coming down. 'em, There's so much going on, and they're [00:27:50] all accountable to at least like six or 700,000 people. You're a Congress person, right? Let alone a whole state, like California. If you're a [00:28:00] senator and it's a hard job, they gotta make these decisions on behalf of their constituents. You know what's in the best interest of the state and the district. And [00:28:10] there's no way you could know all those things. So it goes back to these relationships and you're not gonna make everybody happy. it's just the nature of the job. that's not the job, That's not the job. You gotta pull all the [00:28:20] information in and exercise your judgment and whether you do a good job or not as. revisited, every two years you're your congressperson or six years or four years for the president, [00:28:30] right? But that's the jam. So for them to exercise this judgment, they have to get perspectives and a diverse amount of perspectives and it's perspectives that are informed of people [00:28:40] that know a thing or two about, of protecting the place over what it means. So the, not only do they, they need to listen to us and not just us [00:28:50] to do their job. To be successful at it. yeah, to answer your question directly. Yeah. They very much do care and more so if you're a constituent. And even more so if you know what you're [00:29:00] talking about. Which is like all of us. Cuz we spend time in these places, from these firsthand experiences. And a lot of people might be intimidated to use their voice for advocacy and may end up not doing anything cuz they think their voice doesn't matter. How does their voice make a [00:29:50] difference? Yeah. if you don't show up, think of it this way. You don't show up and don't say what you think. You basically doubled the impact of somebody Yeah. That you don't [00:30:00] agree with. That does show up. So you could think you don't matter, but there are people who don't agree with you and they're showing up. [00:30:10] And it's part of living in a democracy. It's not just voting, it's, sharing what you think. you're helping these elected officials and, policy makers do their job. that's critical. But[00:30:20] think from the perspective of a brand, right? You think about your consumers, you think about your [00:30:30] community, and there's no way you could ever capture what everybody thinks. But it's a relentless pursuit. To figure out [00:30:40] what customers want And what they need. You're modeling things out and you're asking people and you're just like absorbing as much information and you're using that to inform business decisions.[00:30:50] So Congress people do the same thing. Yeah. And if you think that it doesn't matter, like a, policy maker doesn't care what you think, that's.[00:31:00] That makes as much sense as a business thinking that the customer doesn't matter. And the customer's perspective doesn't matter if you believe in that. If you think that's worthy. [00:31:10] Same thing. And how do you guys champion the idea that for businesses and individuals, it's not nearly as difficult or complicated as people think to get [00:31:20] involved? It's pretty simple, really. And you can make a big difference. the first thing is, you look at Congress, what's [00:31:30] 535 elected officials. You got a hundred hundred senators, And all these Congress people. But, you've got three in the federal government. [00:31:40] You've got your congressperson, you've got two senators, and the governor, let's say four. It's four people. It's not hundreds. And you're a constituent. So [00:31:50] that's one way to simplify things instead of just you've heard that, that, that phrase how to eat a whale. one bite at a time. don't try to eat the whole whale. But if you're able to [00:32:00] establish dialogue, with your elected officials as a constituent and as an informed constituent, with you're an individual or whether you're a business, [00:32:10] it's, it's your superpower. They need to listen to you. Just to break it down a little bit, it's, you don't have to do everything well, you have to keep showing up. back to that [00:32:20] baseball analogy, a player gets, I don't know, a thousand, 2000 at bats to bat 300, so they clearly don't get ahead every time, but you just gotta keep showing up and showing up and dropping [00:32:30] your message, that's how get it done. Being patient, thinking about the long game. Dropping your message, but also like listening To like how they're thinking about [00:32:40] things. yeah. What are their other, what their Cs are, right? Yeah. So working businesses and individuals find an organization that kind of reflects their values and partner with them. Do you guys have a big long list? You must,[00:32:50] The 10 members. Those 10. And then they got a big, yeah, they got bigger list. So like I'll, I think. [00:33:00] One, really good starting point is outdoor alliance. We find consensus right. Amongst the 10 member organizations, but the 10 member organizations, they're all like,[00:33:10] complete ballers in this space. They're amazing. And I think using what's important to you in terms of the different pursuits, the different communities, different geographies or typographies, [00:33:20] use that as a filter go hang out with people that you like. And that do things that inspire you. And that's a start. So Outdoor Alliance for sure. That [00:33:30] member organizations and then each of these member organizations, they've got, networks of local organizations Based on your geography. So you [00:33:40] want to go really local, look at one of the EMBA local chapters or a local climbing organization from Access Fund. you wanna look at the Get deep in national policy, [00:33:50] always where to go. Tell us about your favorite outdoor activity, obviously kayaking. Do you have another one? yeah. I love [00:34:00] whitewater kayaking. I compliment that with quite a bit of mountain biking. and as, as wonderful as DC is for, For Whitewater, it's it's not the best for, for skiing. [00:34:10] You gotta go somewhere. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Yeah. we've got some local stuff. but, so those are the pursuits, my doing it with people that I care about, my [00:34:20] friends with my kids, that's just what puts it over the top. Do you have any suggestions or advice for folks wanting to work in conservation? for sure. [00:35:10] I think like realizing that conservation and politics are like, They're intertwined in this country. You can't really do [00:35:20] one without the other. And that's because, there's so much of outdoor recreation and kind of the outdoors are on public lands. And public lands are gonna be what happens on public lands. [00:35:30] Whether you can serve these places or develop these places, it's part of a public process. So you can have this desire to protect, but you gotta couple that with a [00:35:40] clear and eye understanding that you know, you gotta get involved in advocacy and. Specifally engaged. And feel okay about that and realize that you're not alone. There are a lot of [00:35:50] organizations that get this space and find some organizations and people that you like, and the path will be, will be made apparent. [00:36:00] Yeah. And if you're listening to this podcast, you probably know a number of people that are doing it already. So you have friends and family just to go help you get in. yeah. [00:36:10] Yeah. learn what you can. from, after Alliance and the member organizations and whoever is doing work that inspires you. There's a good chance they're an NGO and that they're adept at [00:36:20] working with volunteers and people that care about places. you talking about the baseball analogy? Yeah. Showing up, not just to show up at a congress person's office, call your local chapter Surf Rider. [00:36:30] Foundation. That's great. Bonds. Yeah. yep. Yeah, that's how to do it. let's have a little fun now. not that way. What's your [00:36:40] favorite outdoor gear purchase? Under a hundred dollars. Oh my goodness. Under a hundred bucks. Yeah. Huh? yeah, I'd probably [00:36:50] say, A Cliff Bar. Do you have any, do you have a couple of favorite books that are your go-tos all the time? Good with friends and stuff. I think one of my, one of my favorites, one of my favorites is, I love James Baldwin. he's a phenomenal author. The Fire Next Time [00:37:30] is, I think one of my favorites. It's really short. It's like a, it's essentially a letter to his nephew. It's a beautifully written book and, That's maybe 120 pages or something like [00:37:40] that, Oh, wow. Okay. That's just a, that's a wonderful read. and then I think it came out like you wrote in the sixties and that, and something a little more, but it's timeless. yeah. Anything [00:37:50] by James's Baldwin. and then, I guess more, more recently I read this book, the End of the Myth by Greg Grandlin. And, It's a kind of an exploration of this [00:38:00] idea of the frontier in American culture and history and, fascinating. I've learned so much. it's so amazing too, how that [00:38:10] continues, after all these years that this country has been around, how the frontier still drives just something deep down in us that, we just, we all embody it.[00:38:20] Oh yeah. And how it's not just, it was a physical thing and then it became like a cultural, political thing. And, just a fascinating book. Oh, cool. [00:38:30] and I guess one other, now I'm thinking something I've read recently Caste by Isabel Wilkerson. Yeah. She, it. Beautifully written book. [00:38:40] Fascinating. okay, so those are three. Yes. For one, those are three, yeah. Perfect. Got 'em. Awesome. We'll link to those all in the show notes. Yeah. as we wrap up, is there anything else you would like to say to, or ask of our listeners? [00:38:50] Oh, just an expression of, of appreciation for all the folks that we either dipping into conservation and advocacy [00:39:00] or the ones and some encouragement to anybody that's curious, It's a warm and welcoming space. We need all the help that we could get and, it's a lot of [00:39:10] fun. I was gonna say, there's a lot of fun to be had while you're doing it too.

Five thought leaders break the silence on the role of human overpopulation in ecological overshoot –with an informed, engaging conversation about the subject. This is what intelligent discourse sounds like. For thirty years, many people – some well-intentioned – have been trying to silence discourse about human overpopulation. One of our goals on the GrowthBusters podcast is to break that silence, and this episode does that well by bringing together three great thinkers – actually five, educators and crusaders on the subject. The occasion was a visit to Colorado by Nandita Bajaj, executive director of Population Balance and co-host of The Overpopulation Podcast. Nandita designed & teaches the first graduate course on Pronatalism & Overpopulation: The Personal, Cultural, and Global Implications of Having a Child at the Institute for Humane Education at Antioch University. As a bonus, we were joined by her hosts from the University of Denver, Paul Sutton and Sarah Bexell. Sarah leads DU's Center for Sustainability and teaches at the Institute for Humane Education. Paul is Professor in the Department. of Geography & the Environment, and teaches geographic statistics, population geography, and ecological economics. The conversation covers a lot of ground – pronatalism, animal rights, human rights, and collaboration.
