Today on KSL Brightside, we're breaking down NOAA's brand-new fall forecast for all 50 states. A "super" El Niño is building fast — forecasters now say there's a greater than 90% chance it'll be very strong — and we'll talk about what that means for Utah's fall and winter ahead. Plus, there's a heat advisory in effect today, so stay cool out there. Oh, and did you catch that landspout photo? Then — Lay's just dropped a new Barbecue Brisket chip flavor right in time for football season. We're taste-testing first world problems and asking: What's your go-to football-watching snack? In drone delivery news, Amazon just announced it's expanding Prime Air to nearly 500 U.S. cities(not in Utah), but Salt Lake City is next up for Walmart drone delivery — and one Texas woman's Amazon drone decided her swimming pool was the perfect landing zone. And we're ending on a feel-good note: Brewers prospect Sawyer Strosnider crushed his first pro home run… and his dad caught the ball in the stands. KSL Brightside streams live weekdays 12–3 PM.

It's Thursday, August 20th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Vietnamese court sentences pastor to 7 years in prison A court in Vietnam sentenced a Protestant pastor to over seven years in prison this month. Fifty-nine-old-pastor Y Nuen Ayun had been leading unregistered religious activities since 2003. The communist government often uses fabricated charges to silence Christians. International Christian Concern noted, “Despite these realities, the church in Vietnam continues to faithfully and boldly advance God's kingdom under oppression.” 1 Peter 4:14 says, “If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part, He is blasphemed, but on your part, He is glorified.” Send a polite, 3-sentence note to the Vietnamese Ambassador to America, Nguyen Quoc Dzung, urging him to ask his government to release 59-year-old-pastor Y Nuen Ayun. Address it to the Vietnam Embassy, 1233 20th Street Northwest #400, Washington, D.C., 20036. You can find the correct spelling of their names and the address of the embassy in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. Animated “David” movie opens in United Kingdom & Ireland tomorrow The animated biblical film “David” is headed to theaters in the United Kingdom and Ireland tomorrow. A campaign from the U.K.-based KOVA International is encouraging churches to engage their congregations and communities through the film. The movie has been one of Angel Studios'* most successful releases. *Note: Angel Studios is owned by the Mormons also known as the “Church” of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The Worldview cautions our listeners to remember that Mormons teach a false gospel and an unbiblical worldview. So, please be discerning in the viewing of any Angel Studios productions. Canadian military chaplains prohibited from mentioning God in public Military chaplains in Canada can no longer mention God at public events. The country's government issued the new policy last month. Canada already prohibited chaplains from praying at public events. The Canadian Armed Forces claims to be maintaining religious and spiritual neutrality in the exercise of its public duties. But in Matthew 12:30, Jesus said, “He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.” Trump pauses 50% tariffs on Canadian goods U.S. President Donald Trump paused 50 percent tariffs on Canadian goods yesterday. The tariffs were set to go into effect today. The president said that the two countries had reached a deal, subject to the finalization of the documents. Trump picked a pro-lifer to head the FDA President Donald Trump nominated Dr. Heidi Overton to lead the Food and Drug Administration yesterday. She previously served as a White House health policy adviser. Dr. Overton is an opponent of abortion. She has written about the dangerous rise of chemical abortion which was allowed by the FDA in previous years. Christian Forest Service officer no longer required to work on Sundays A U.S. Forest Service officer will no longer be required to work on Sundays. Adam Diemert is a Forest Service law enforcement officer in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. He is also a devout Presbyterian who attends church twice every Sunday. Adam submitted multiple religious accommodation requests to not work on Sundays. Sadly, the Forest Service denied those requests. But thanks to the legal help of First Liberty Institute, Adam finally received the accommodation last week. Socialist Democrats score another primary victory Socialist Democrats picked up another primary victory on Tuesday. Socialist Angie Nixon defeated retired Army Lt. Col. Alex Vindman, in Florida's Democrat primary race for the U.S. Senate. Listen to the opening line of her victory speech. NIXON: “Florida, we did it!” (cheers and applause) She outlined her socialist agenda at the top. NIXON: “Medicare for all! (cheers) Universal childcare! (cheers) Real affordable housing!” (cheers) Nixon won easily with 56 percent of the vote. Vindman lost despite raising more than sixteen times as much money as Nixon. Amazon delivery drones come to 500 cities Amazon delivery drones are coming to nearly 500 cities and towns this year. The company announced yesterday, “Prime Air offers millions of items by drone at everyday low prices, in as fast as 30 minutes.” The service currently operates in just 11 U.S. locations. President Trump meets heroic lifeguard who saved 10-year-old And finally, President Donald Trump recently met with a heroic lifeguard as well as the 10-year-old boy he rescued. Sixteen-year-old Ryder Williams saved Nathaniel Rai from a rip current at a beach in Santa Cruz, California last month. A video of the rescue went viral, getting the president's attention. When asked by a reporter what went through his mind, the lifeguard said this. WILLIAMS: “In those dangerous moments that we have, we always try to fall back on our training. We are trained so well, by many, to handle that situation as best we can. So, I really am just thinking about how to get the boy out of the water as fast as I can.” He was also asked about his plans for the future. WILLIAMS: “I want to be a firefighter in the future. Hopefully, go through paramedic school.” Williams and Rai got to visit the White House on Monday. President Trump commended Williams and emphasized the providential moment. (Look at the 10:03-mark) Listen. TRUMP: “He's a real hero. It's an amazing thing. God was watching you, right?” RAI: “Yeah.” TRUMP: “Great!” Proverbs 22:29 asks, “Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings. He will not stand before unknown men.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, August 20th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Welcome to a Monday edition of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?. Coming off a masterful weekend in Chattanooga, hosts Malcolm Harris and Michael Vincent are back to break down the biggest headlines in freight, from the "sexiness" of cargo theft stats to the reality of Amazon's drone ambitions. While headlines are buzzing with $1,000,000 Lego heists and stolen Kit Kats, the guys look at the actual math. Statistically, freight fraud and theft account for only 0.0036% of freight moved in North America. We discuss why this "sexy" topic gets so much airtime and how technology from companies like Highway is driving necessary trust factors in the industry. Amazon is ramping up Prime Air, aiming to deliver 500 million packages annually by the end of the decade. Michael Vincent isn't buying the hype, questioning the efficiency and safety of "dropping a fragile vase 20 feet out of the ass of a drone" just to satisfy consumer demand for faster delivery Anna Falcon, VP of Customer Experience at MCA Connect, joins the show to discuss why manufacturers must move beyond "boring widgets" to holistic customer strategy. David Long, VP of Product Management at Fleetworthy, pulls back the curtain on the "illusion of data". Many fleets think they have a handle on accidents, but fragmented spreadsheets won't stand up in court. David introduces Legal Lock, a feature that creates an immutable, time-stamped record of an accident to protect a fleet's credibility during litigation.

Il 2025 ci ha lasciato in eredità molto più di un connettore unico per caricare i telefoni o qualche timore in più sulla nostra privacy, è stato l'anno in cui l'Intelligenza Artificiale è diventata uno strumento integrato ovunque, dai documenti di testo alle nostre email. In questa prima puntata del 2026 riflettiamo su alcuni macro temi che potrebbero emergere nel corso dei prossimi 12 mesi, tra cui lo sviluppo della Generative UI, dell'uscita di GTA 6 e delle sue ambizioni di possibile metaverso, del ridimensionamento di Meta sulla realtà virtuale, della battaglia sulla pirateria in Italia e dei rischi tecnici e giuridici associati. Approfondiamo anche la sospensione del lancio dei droni di Amazon nel nostro Paese e di cosa questo rivela sul contrasto tra promesse tecnologiche e realtà normativa, fino al ridimensionamento dei programmi spaziali della NASA e al crescente ruolo dei privati nell'esplorazione spaziale.Nella sezione delle notizie parliamo di Google che finalmente permetterà di modificare l'indirizzo email, della decisione di Amazon di rinunciare al lancio di Prime Air in Italia e della frammentazione normativa americana sulla tecnologia.--Indice--00:00 - Introduzione01:06 - Google permetterà di modificare l'email (IlSole24Ore.com, Luca Martinelli)02:29 - Prime Air rinuncia all'Italia (DDay.it, Matteo Gallo)03:40 - La frammentazione normativa americana sulla tecnologia (TheVerge.com, Davide Fasoli)05:13 - Cosa aspettarsi dal 2026 (Davide Fasoli)15:10 - Conclusione--Testo--Leggi la trascrizione: https://www.dentrolatecnologia.it/S8E1#testo--Contatti--• www.dentrolatecnologia.it• Instagram (@dentrolatecnologia)• Telegram (@dentrolatecnologia)• YouTube (@dentrolatecnologia)• redazione@dentrolatecnologia.it--Immagini--• Foto copertina: Freepik--Brani--• Ecstasy by Rabbit Theft• Whatever by Cartoon & Andromedik

Phillip Cooke, a pilot for Air Transport International (ATI), shares his journey from flight simulation enthusiast to professional aviator. Growing up with a passion for aviation, inspired by his father, he started with a PVC pipe yoke before diving into flight simulators. He earned his private pilot license and attended ATP Flight School in Long Beach, CA. His career path took him through flying the PC-12 for a small charter company, then the Cessna Caravan 208, before moving on to SkyWest. Before completing training at SkyWest, an opportunity at ATI arose, leading him to fly the Boeing 757/767 for Prime Air cargo operations. Beyond real-world flying, Phillip is deeply involved in VR-based flight simulation, investing in a high-end setup to stay sharp. He discusses how flight sim technology is an invaluable tool for pilots, offering realistic training at a fraction of the cost of real-world flying. He also participates in online multiplayer ATC environments, simulating real-world airline operations, including long-haul FedEx routes with real NOTAMs and weather conditions. What You'll Learn in This Episode: How flight simulation can develop and maintain real-world flying skills The benefits of VR flight sim for pilot training and situational awareness Phillip's aviation career path from small charters to flying 757/767s for ATI Insights into the world of cargo flying and working with Prime Air How gamification and career modes in flight sim can enhance training and engagement #Aviation #AviationCareers #pilotcareer #pilottips #pilotcareertips #aviationcrew #AviationJobs #AviationLeadership #flying #PilotSuccess #pilotpodcast #PilotPreparation #Pilotrecruitment #AviationEducation #AviationOpportunities #AviationPodcast #flyingtips #AirlineInterviewPrep #PilotDevelopment #PilotFinance #PilotExperience #PilotTraining

And last week, Amazon announced that the FAA has authorized its drone program, called Prime Air, to fly even farther, beyond the view of human operators. Amazon joins Google's subsidiary Wing, and companies like UPS and Zipline, which have already received similar approval from the FAA.

Welcome to your weekly news update, we have 4 stories for you this week, Amazon loses Head of Safety and Flight operations, FAA and NASA conduct UTM Field Test, Skyebrowse introduces pay-per-model, and the FPVFC releases a FRIA map. Your first story this week is Amazon, who keeps losing people. Sean Cassidy, the head of Safety, flight operations, and regulatory affairs has reportedly left the company. Cassidy, a former Alaska Airlines Pilot, joined Amazon in 2015 to assist Prime Air through the process of obtaining FAA approvals. Amazon received their Part 135 certificate in August of 2020, and deliveries began this year. Over the last year, amazon has had a number of lay-offs including one in January and has lost a number of key players. Amazon hasn't released any statement or status on their deliveries in the past few months, but we'll keep you updated if we see any updates. Next up this week is the FAA and NASA, who have conducted a UTM field test. If you're unfamiliar with the concept of unmanned traffic management, it's a system that allows a UAS operator to reserve a portion of the airspace for a particular time. These “reservations” would assist with deconfliction between UAS traveling at or below 400' in uncontrolled airspace. The test included flights of varying complexity levels, verifying standards, evaluating UTM systems, testing FAA integration with USS, and testing the real world application of all these systems working with ones another. Data collected from the UTM field test is expected to be used by policymakers to enable low-altitude operations, particularly those that will operate beyond line of sight. If you'd like to read the full report, we'll add a link in the description! Third up this week is Skyebrowse, who is now offering a pay-per model version of their software! Models start at just $3 per model and vary based on the size of the video file. Pay per models will allow you to unlock features, such as download or measurements, that are not available in the “freemium” subscription plan. This works with older models, and we were able to use a model from 2021 and access these tools! Alright, and last up this week is a map of FRIAs! Due to the UAS Facility maps not containing information about FRIA, Alex Suarez has created a map that contains the locations of approved FRIAs. The map is color coded to differentiate between the 4 CBOs, and for FPVFC, FTCA, and STEMC FRIAs, has precise boundaries. Great job Alex! Alright, that's all we've got, have a great week and we'll see you on Monday for the live! Last week, I was on vacation and @wolfpack4694 asked the team if they would do a video talking about how mean I am. The thing is, I'm really not mean, so they had to make stuff up, and let's just say they had a little too much fun with it. Take a look, enjoy! https://www.skyebrowse.com/blog/2023/12/12/introducing-pay-per-model https://www.faa.gov/uas/advanced_operations/traffic_management/UFT-Final-Report.pdf https://www.faa.gov/uas/research_development/traffic_management/field_test https://dronexl.co/2023/12/07/faa-nasa-utm-field-test/ https://dronexl.co/2023/12/12/prime-air-shakeup-cassidy-amazon-exit/ https://www.friamap.com/
Amazon will soon make prescription drugs fall from the sky when the e-commerce giant becomes the latest company to test drone deliveries for medications. The company said that customers in College Station, Texas, can now get prescriptions delivered by a drone within an hour of placing their order. The drone, programmed to fly from a delivery center with a secure pharmacy, will travel to the customer's address, descend to a height of about four meters — or 13 feet — and drop a padded package. Amazon says customers will be able to choose from more than 500 medications, a list that includes common treatments for conditions like the flu or pneumonia, but not controlled substances. The company's Prime Air division began testing drone deliveries of common household items last December in College Station and Lockeford, California. Amazon spokesperson Jessica Bardoulas said the company has made thousands of deliveries since launching the service, and is expanding it to include prescriptions based in part on customer requests. Amazon announced it will also launch drone delivery at a third U.S. location and cities in Italy and the United Kingdom by the end of next year. The company said it will disclose the exact locations in the coming months. Amazon Prime already delivers some medications from the company's pharmacy within two days. But pharmacy Vice President John Love said that doesn't help someone with an acute illness like the flu. “What we're trying to do is figure out how can we bend the curve on speed,” he said. Amazon Pharmacy Chief Medical Officer Dr. Vin Gupta says the U.S. healthcare system generally struggles with diagnosing and treating patients quickly for acute illnesses, something that was apparent throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Narrowing the window between diagnosis and treating makes many treatments more effective, he said. Amazon also unveiled a new drone called MK30 that, by the end of next year, will replace the drones it currently uses to deliver packages. The company says the new drone flies further, is smaller and quieter, and also has enhanced delivery capabilities. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

We're going to cover an example of what happens at low altitude when pilots activate the Take Off/Go Around or TOGA switch by mistake. When there's turbulence and a lack of situational awareness, this can be deadly as you'll hear. A number of aircraft recently have crashed because of pilots inadvertently activating this switch and I'm going to explain how this can happen if you're not paying attention – and if the crew are prone to panic. One of the incidents involved a cargo flight – and Herman who's an avid listener suggested I do a few cargo plane crashes for a number of reasons. While there are no passengers involved, or very few, sometimes the cargo itself is the danger, and in the case we'll hear this episode, it is believed that was a failure to check the stated credentials of a commercial pilot could have exacerbated the situation that led to the crash involving a Boeing 767 flown by Amazon's Prime Air. It never made it in on February 23rd 2019, the Boeing 767-375ER crashed on approach into Trinity Bay near Houston, killing two crew members and a pilot hitching a lift in the jump seat. It's also the first crash involving a 767-375ER Cargo plane. As you're going to hear, flight crew training issues at Atlas Air and across the U.S. commercial aviation industry have been implicated in this accident.

News: Serum from hibernating black bears boosts muscle mass in human cells | New Atlas (01:16) The incredible ability of bears to hibernate for months at a time has inspired some interesting lines of research around how their secrets might benefit human health, and among them is a focus on muscle wasting. First let's talk about bear hibernation: The main difference between hibernation and torpor is during torpor, the animal is able to wake up quickly to avoid danger, or if the opportunity exists, exit the den to feed. Hibernation is a voluntary state an animal enters to conserve energy, when food is scarce, and minimize exposure to the winter elements. During hibernation an animal lowers its body temperature, slows its breathing rate, heart rate, and metabolic rate-the rate its body uses energy. Bears technically do not hibernate, they enter a state similar to it called topor. Fun fact: Bears can sleep more than 100 days without eating, drinking, or passing waste! Bears can actually turn their pee into protein. Scientists in Japan have made a fascinating discovery in this space:Demonstrating how human muscle cells can be infused with serum from hibernating black bears to prevent atrophy and increase muscle mass. This new study focused on skeletal muscle, which is susceptible to wasting caused by immobility.Led by scientists at Hiroshima University and Hokkaido University The research team took cultured human skeletal muscle cells and infused them with serum drawn from the blood of hibernating black bears, which led to significant protein growth after 24 hours.Interestingly, serum collected during the bears' active summer season did not induce these same effects. Believe this is due to a factor in the hibernating bear serum that suppresses a "destruction mechanism" behind muscle degradation Study first-author Mitsunori Miyazaki, stated:“We have indicated that ‘some factor' present in hibernating bear serum may regulate protein metabolism in cultured human skeletal muscle cells and contribute to the maintenance of muscle mass … However, the identification of this 'factor' has not yet been achieved." Doing so could open up some exciting possibilities around protecting humans during deep space travel, or preventing muscle wastage in people who are immobile due to aging or disease. Alzheimer's Breakthrough: Genetic Link to Gut Disorders Confirmed | Neuroscience News (08:18) A world-first Edith Cowan University (ECU) study has confirmed the link between the two, which could lead to earlier detection and new potential treatments.The findings add to the evidence the gut-brain axis may play a role in the development of neurodegenerative disorders. Alzheimer's Disease (AD), has no known curative treatments and is expected to affect more than 82 million people and is estimated to cost US$2 trillion by 2030. The study analyzed large sets of genetic data from AD and several gut-disorder studies – each of about 400,000 people.The first comprehensive assessment of the genetic relationship between AD and multiple gut disorders. They discovered people with AD and gut disorders have genes in common – which is important for many reasons. Research lead Dr Emmanuel Adewuyi explains:“The study provides a novel insight into the genetics behind the observed co-occurrence of AD and gut disorders … This improves our understanding of the causes of these conditions and identifies new targets to investigate to potentially detect the disease earlier and develop new treatments for both types of conditions.” When researchers conducted further analysis into the shared genetics, they found other important links between AD and gut disorders – such as the role cholesterol may play. Dr Adewuyi provides context:“Whilst further study is needed into the shared mechanisms between the conditions, there is evidence high cholesterol can transfer into the central nervous system, resulting in abnormal cholesterol metabolism in the brain… For example, elevated cholesterol in the brain has been linked to brain degeneration and subsequent cognitive impairment.” The research also indicated diet could play a part in treating and preventing AD and gut disorders. There is a need for more studies and patients need to be assessed individually to judge whether they would benefit from cholesterol lower medication use. This solar tower makes jet fuel from sunbeams, water, and gas | PopSci (14:43) For the past several years, researchers from several different institutions in Switzerland and Germany have been using it to test a method to create propellantnormally a carbon-intensive process involving fossil fuels They use little more than sunlight and greenhouse gasses captured from the atmosphere. What happens inside their tower is a bit of chemistry known as the Fischer-Tropsch process.A collection of chemical reactions that converts a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen or water gas into liquid hydrocarbons. These reactions occur in the presence of metal catalysts Typically at temperatures of 150–300 °C (302–572 °F) Pressures of one to several tens of atmospheres. So what does this structure tucked away in a Madrid suburb actually do?169 solar reflectors concentrate blinding sunlight —on average, 2,500 times brighter than the sun— to the top of a tower. It hits a porous ceramic box made from cerium, the rare-earth element number 58 That draws water and carbon dioxide from the air and splits their atoms into hydrogen gas and carbon monoxide. The newly created gasses sink to the bottom of the tower, where they enter a shipping container that carries out the Fischer-Tropsch reactions. The end result is fossil-fuel-free kerosene, produced by pulling carbon dioxide from the air. The researchers say it can be pumped into fuel tanks, today, without issue. According to Aldo Steinfeld, an engineer at ETH Zürich in Switzerland, meeting the entire aviation's sector would require solar kerosene plants to cover an area of around 17,500 square miles, roughly the size of Estonia. That's large!!! Steinfeld looks at it differently: A relatively small parcel of a sparsely inhabited hot desert could supply all the world's planes. The next steps are to make the process more efficient. Right now, a meager 4.1 percent of the solar energy striking the ceramic box actually goes into making gas. The researchers think they could considerably boost that number. Prime Air: Amazon officially rolls out drone delivery to customers | ZDNet (21:06) After years of development announcements, Amazon will be rolling out delivery by drone for Prime customers in areas of California and Texas.Lockeford, California, and College Station, Texas. Amazon will join Walmart in offering limited drone delivery to a subset of customers, signaling a vote of confidence in the technology and a shifting regulatory environment from the two behemoth retailers. The service, called Prime Air, will deliver packages up to five pounds in less than an hour using drones. Fly up to 50 miles per hour (80km/hour), up to an altitude of 400ft, and can carry packages of up to 5lbs. Created a proprietary sense-and-avoid system that enables Amazon drones to operate at greater distances while safely and reliably avoiding other aircraft, people, pets, and obstacles. Amazon is reaching out to customers in both locations to give them an option to receive free and fast drone delivery on what's billed as the largest selection of items ever to be available for drone delivery.Once onboarded, customers will see Prime Air-eligible items on Amazon Place an order as they normally would and receive an estimated arrival time The service will start later this year. Despite the limited rollout, the company's long-term vision is to create a drone delivery service that will scale and integrate into its vast fulfillment network. Naturally, there's a lot more riding on these drones.A crash or injury involving an Amazon drone will receive heavy scrutiny. End it off with the end of Amazon's press release:“We're bringing more than drone delivery to Lockeford and College Station. Through these Prime Air drone deliveries, we will create new jobs, build partnerships with local organizations, and help to reduce the impact of climate change on future generations.” A brain-computer startup beat Elon Musk's Neuralink to implanting its first device in a US patient | Yahoo (26:02) Synchron, a brain-computer interface startup, reportedly implanted its first device in a US patient earlier this month — overtaking Elon Musk's Neuralink for the third time.The startup implanted a 1.5-inch device into the brain of an ALS patient at Mount Sinai West medical center in New York on July 6 The purpose of the device is to allow the patient to communicate — even after they have lost the ability to move — by using their thoughts to send emails and texts. Should mention this company has already implanted the device in four patients in Australia who have been able to use the brain implant to send messages on WhatsApp and shop online. Last year, the Australia-based startup received permission from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to begin human trials on six US patients who have been severely paralyzed.Neuralink has yet to receive FDA approval Synchon and Neuralink's implants have similar immediate applications. translate human thoughts into computer commands could help patients with neurological diseases like Parkinson's or ALS. Neuralink and Synchron's products have several key differences: namely, size and installation. Synchron's device can be inserted into a human skull without cutting into it using a catheter, and the process requires two separate surgeries In contrast, Neuralink plans to make a much smaller and more powerful device that would require a portion of the individual's skull to be removed and would be performed using a robot ----more---- Social: Email Me: adam@thatscoolnew.com Twitter: @Thats_Cool_News

Microsoft announces a new AirSim platform to train drone AI systems, Amazon Prime Air eyes deliveries in Texas, Russia looks at Iranian drones, DJI pushes back against the American Security Drone Act, a UK drone superhighway, and new drones from Alphabet's Wing. UAV News Microsoft launches simulator to train drone AI systems In 2017 Microsoft created the open-source AirSim simulation platform for AI research and experimentation, but a lot of technical machine learning knowledge was needed to use it. Now Microsoft has announced a new Project AirSim platform for teaching autonomous drones to fly. Microsoft is talking with regulators about how AirSim could be used for aircraft certification. Video: Introducing Microsoft Project AirSim for aerial autonomy https://youtu.be/mhEw-fecjQY Microsoft AirSim Amazon's Prime Air drones will soon make deliveries in Texas Amazon says they'll ask College Station residents if they are interested in drone deliveries with plans to start later this year. Mayor Karl Mooney said: "Amazon's new facility presents a tremendous opportunity for College Station to be at the forefront of the development of drone delivery technology. We look forward to partnering with Amazon and Texas A&M and are confident that Amazon will be a productive, conscientious, and accountable participant in our community." The White House says Russian officials visited Iran to view drones for use in Ukraine US intelligence says Russia is interested in obtaining Iranian military drones. Satellite images show Russian officials visiting Iran twice with Shahed-191 and Shahed-129 drones on display and in flight. DJI reportedly making headway against US drone blacklist legislation The Financial Times reports the DJI has been pushing back at the American Security Drone Act (ASDA). That act would prohibit U.S. federal funding from being used to buy Chinese drones, broaden the bans, and make it difficult for a ban to be rescinded. Notably, the bill was not retained in the National Defense Authorization Act passed by the House. Nevertheless, several Republican representatives vowed to make the ASDA law in a final version, or on its own. A 165-Mile Drone Superhighway Will Soon Be Built in the UK Project Skyway is the UK plan to build a 165-mile (265 kilometer) “drone superhighway” up to 10 km wide connecting the airspace above Reading, Oxford, Milton Keynes, Cambridge, Coventry, and Rugby. The project consortium is led by Altitude Angel, a UTM (Unified Traffic Management) solution provider.

优胜美地国家公园(Yosemite National Park)的官员正在寻求公众帮助,以找出那些在公园内一条受欢迎小径上涂鸦的人。从五月份开始,公园护林员开始收到关于沿着优胜美地瀑布步道(Yosemite Falls Trail)涂鸦的报告。该步道是公园最古老的历史小径之一,可通往北美最高瀑布的顶端。在评估损失时,护林员发现优胜美地瀑布步道沿线约有30处出现白色和蓝色涂鸦。公园官员提供的照片显示,岩石上有“弗雷斯诺”(Fresno)字样以及其它涂鸦,大小从1×1英尺到8×8英尺不等。 国家公园管理局在其网站上表示:“涂鸦是破坏行为,清除涂鸦很难。如果可能的话,修复被破坏的场地既昂贵又耗时,而且通常无法将其恢复原样。” 根据美国联邦法规,禁止破坏、伤害、污损或损坏国家公园财产。破坏国家公园属于联邦轻罪,可判处3至6个月的监禁和高达500美元的罚款。优胜美地国家公园官员在声明中也向公众寻求帮助,如果您在通往优胜美地瀑布顶部的路上看到有人携带喷漆罐、进行标记,或有视频或照片证据,请访问go.nps.gov/SubmitATip告知。知情者也可以发送电邮:nps_isb@nps.gov或888-653-0009。 亞馬遜即將在加州用無人機投送包裹 据FOXLA报导,亚马逊在六月份宣布,洛克福德(Lockeford)的客户将能申请由无人机Prime Air免费派送包裹的服务。选择洛克福德,是因为它与航空业的历史性联系。亚马逊表示,它一直在研究这项技术,所以它的无人机将能够在更远的距离运行,同时安全地避开其它飞机、人员、宠物和障碍物。亚马逊说,居民的客户反馈有助于将服务扩展到其它社区。亚马逊无人机的飞行速度可达每小时50英里,它可以将5磅重的包裹运送到400英尺的高空。一旦有人下订单,无人机就会飞到客户的后院,然后释放包裹,再飞走。自Prime Air成立以来,已经有二十多架无人机原型诞生。
One of the most useful Tweets I've seen in a long time was published over thew weekend by @G_S_Bhogal - in 40 Tweets he explained 40 useful concepts he thinks we should know about..and these are amazing. From the laws of science to problem solving, how to handle trolls and beating procrastination and why powerful people lose their grip of reality - it's an incredible read. Check it out, on the hashtag DigitalMinuteUK. Twitter itself once again faces an uncertain future as Elon Musk's proposed takeover deal looks entirely dead. The 2 sides couldn't come to any sort of agreement about the number of fake accounts on the platform. My opinion is that Musk's 44 billion dollar takeover was a gross over valuation of what the company is actually worth. Up until now, anyone using Meta's virtual reality platform had to use it via a Facebook account. That rule is being ditched from next month, putting some distance between Meta and the Facebook brand. Amazon is to start using electric vans and e cargo bikes to make deliveries in Central London - the new vehicles will work out a central hub and be used for the final mile of deliveries, eventually this will spread across the UK. In America the company is moving ahead with its planned Drone deliveries - Prime Air will take to the skies to deliver packages in Lockeford, California later this year.
Soucieuses d'améliorer l'expédition de leurs marchandises, certaines grandes entreprises, comme Amazon, testent un nouveau procédé : la livraison par drones.La mise au point d'un drone efficaceAmazon n'a pas l'intention, pour l'instant, d'étendre la livraison par drones à l'ensemble du pays. L'entreprise étant en effet dans une phase d'expérimentation, elle entend d'abord essayer la méthode dans une seule ville de Californie.Avant de se lancer dans cette expérience, les ingénieurs et techniciens d'Amazon ont mis au point divers prototypes, avant d'arrêter leur choix sur l'un d'entre eux.En effet, il fallait concevoir un drone capable de se mouvoir en évitant les obstacles rencontrés sur son chemin. Ainsi, la course de l'appareil ne devait pas être arrêtée par la présence d'une cheminée ou d'un chien dans le jardin du client.Un service bientôt opérationnelAmazon a donc créé un service de livraison spécifique, baptisé "Prime Air". Pour se faire expédier leurs commandes par la voie aérienne, les clients intéressés devront s'inscrire.Il s'agit d'un service gratuit, permettant au client de faire son choix parmi des milliers de produits.

Soucieuses d'améliorer l'expédition de leurs marchandises, certaines grandes entreprises, comme Amazon, testent un nouveau procédé : la livraison par drones. La mise au point d'un drone efficace Amazon n'a pas l'intention, pour l'instant, d'étendre la livraison par drones à l'ensemble du pays. L'entreprise étant en effet dans une phase d'expérimentation, elle entend d'abord essayer la méthode dans une seule ville de Californie. Avant de se lancer dans cette expérience, les ingénieurs et techniciens d'Amazon ont mis au point divers prototypes, avant d'arrêter leur choix sur l'un d'entre eux. En effet, il fallait concevoir un drone capable de se mouvoir en évitant les obstacles rencontrés sur son chemin. Ainsi, la course de l'appareil ne devait pas être arrêtée par la présence d'une cheminée ou d'un chien dans le jardin du client. Un service bientôt opérationnel Amazon a donc créé un service de livraison spécifique, baptisé "Prime Air". Pour se faire expédier leurs commandes par la voie aérienne, les clients intéressés devront s'inscrire. Il s'agit d'un service gratuit, permettant au client de faire son choix parmi des milliers de produits.

Informe-se rapidamente sobre o que está acontecendo AGORA na região mais inovadora do mundo! Depois do Prime Video, vem aí o Prime Air, serviço de entrega por drones da Amazon. A aposta é que ele entre em circulação ainda este ano, na Califórnia -- a princípio, em uma cidade de 3.500 habitantes. A Amazon diz que Lockeford foi escolhida por fazer parte da história da aviação, pois é a cidade de um dos de seus pioneiros, Weldon B. Cooke. E agora seus moradores vão receber produtos em casa em menos de uma hora após a compra, com entrega grátis. Diariamente, às 7h, Felipe Giannetti, sócio da StartSe, traz as principais novidades diretamente do Vale do Silício e reflete sobre o ecossistema de inovação e startups.
This week in drone news, Amazon has apparently been telling the FAA not to investigate drone crashes as they are investigating, a new defense/public safety drone, and a large crop-spraying drone crash in California. It appears that Prime Air has been avoiding FAA crash investigations by claiming the company has the authority to conduct its own investigations At least twice, FAA inspectors have found that Amazon has moved crash evidence and/or inhibited an investigation. At least 8 Amazon drones crashed last year, one sparking a 20 acre wildfire in Oregon. Amazon said that regulatory delays could “Totally Disrupt” the goal timeline of launching Prime Air delivery in 2024. Amazon responded by stating that the company has"has complied with all incident reporting, investigation, and other applicable regulatory requirements," the spokesperson, Kelly Nantel, said. "Over the last seven years, the FAA has never taken an enforcement action against Prime Air, and has awarded us an air carrier certificate to enable commercial deliveries — showing that our comprehensive process has met the FAA's high bar.” https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-prime-air-faa-regulators-investigation-drone-crashes-2022-5 A California Start up named “Realtime Robotics” has released a portable heavy lift drone that they say beats competitors in terms of situational awareness for first responders. The Hera is a backpack-sized drone with a payload capacity of 30lbs and can be outfitted with up to 4 EO/IR cameras. The aircraft can be tethered or untethered with a flight time of 46minutes with a 5lb payload. Realtime Robotics also says the Hera is NDAA compliant. Guessed to be around $25k https://rtrobotics.com/ A large crop splaying aircraft crashed in Winters, CA While news sources say the aircraft had a wing span of 10 feet, an NTSB report states the aircraft make/model, suggesting a wing span of 38 feet, and a MGTOW of 1320lbs. The drone, a Pyka Pelican 7, crashed into a field, and was involved in a post-crash fire. There were no injuries.

On today's show we are talking about getting ahead of demand. We have seen many businesses anticipate continuing growth and no changes to market conditions. It happens in virtually every Industry. Even the most analytical companies in the world can get it wrong. We saw several retail giants experience adverse conditions in the past quarter. Walmart, Target and Amazon were the most visible of these announcements. Amazon surprised Wall Street with its first quarterly loss since 2015. That happens when expenses exceed revenues. So how did Amazon get it wrong? Did they hire too many people? Did they make too many financial commitments? The company has been expanding quickly making investments in expanding their fleet of aircraft with their growing captive airline called Prime Air. They have been growing their network of distribution warehouses and fulfilment centres all over the world. Some of these facilities are company owned, but in fact many are leased from developers who built these giant buildings to Amazon specifications. It seems that Amazon's construction of fulfillment warehouses has gotten ahead of current demand. Amazon spooked investors last month after reporting slowing growth and a weak profit outlook that it attributed to overbuilding during the pandemic when homebound shoppers stormed online. At the end of 2021, Amazon leased 370 million square feet of industrial space in its home market, twice as much as it had two years earlier. ---------------- Host: Victor Menasce email: podcast@victorjm.com
