I'm Lieutenant Colonel Brian Hancock, and I will be your host for this session. Today we have with us Major Ismael Lopez to discuss civil affairs, special missions, and the ongoing relief effort in the Gaza Strip. Mr. Lopez is the Excess Property Program Manager for the Defense Security Cooperation Agency. He's also a major in the United States Marine Corps Reserve. where he serves as the Latin American Foreign Area Officer and Detachment Commander with the 1st Civil Affairs Group. At DSCA, he oversees ODACA -funded Humanitarian Assistance, HA, supporting disaster relief and capacity -building efforts in over 28 countries, including the responses in the Afghanistan refugee crisis, the Ukrainian crisis, and humanitarian support to Gaza. In his expanded role, he acts as a liaison for civil affairs, focusing on training, project continuity, and aligning civil affairs efforts with strategic goals. 00:01:09 BRIAN HANCOCK With over 15 years of experience in security cooperation, Mr. Lopez has supported humanitarian assistance operations globally, including key relief efforts following Hurricanes Irma, Maria, and Iota. Major Lopez, welcome to the show. 00:01:25 ISMAEL LOPEZ Thank you, Brian. 00:01:26 BRIAN HANCOCK Boy, you've been busy. 00:01:27 ISMAEL LOPEZ I certainly have. Unfortunately, I've been really busy to do the things that I love. 00:01:32 BRIAN HANCOCK Now, let's talk a little bit about this mysterious full -time job that you do, the excess property manager for a defense security cooperation agency. Security cooperation being one of the three most important missions in the world, in my opinion. Can you tell us a little bit about what you do as the excess property manager? And if you're in the business of giving away property, how do I sign up for this? 00:01:54 ISMAEL LOPEZ What's funny is that, as you mentioned that, There is a running joke down at the Southcom HA office where they say, if you need a new refrigerator, Ish is the guy to call. Basically, what I do in a nutshell is I work with the combat commands and all the way down to the country teams to identify partners, to provide them non -lethal excess property in an effort to achieve very specific objectives in the country. What the program does is it'll take items that are basically pretty much brand new to a little bit of wear and tear, which we can refurbish in our warehouses. And then we issue them out or we donate them to the partner with the intention of meeting a very specific objective in that country. So aside from that, I also support DOD humanitarian aid efforts for any initiatives that are... utilizing the overseas humanitarian disaster and civic aid. So in a nutshell, that's pretty much what I do. And yeah, if you need a fridge, if you need a microwave, if there is an effect that could be achieved by me donating it to you, sure. 00:03:06 BRIAN HANCOCK We're expanding NATO a little bit. And many of the NATO countries, about 32 of them, they're putting a little bit more money into defense these days for a wide variety of reasons. And if they decide they want to send up a new office somewhere in Poland or something like that, How would they go about saying, hey, all those esks and chairs and things that you have in Dermo, we'd like some of that. And who pays the shipping? 00:03:29 ISMAEL LOPEZ The folks sitting in NATO would have to work with ODC and Poland first. They will validate that requirement, then submit it on up to UCOM. UCOM will have their lawyers look at it. And then from there, it will make its way up to DSCA for execution. Now, what pays for all this is the Odaka appropriations that gets earmarked from the Odaka budget that provides transportation for this program. So the program comes at no cost. It's all funded exclusively through the Odaka appropriation. 00:04:05 BRIAN HANCOCK Awesome. Let me talk a little bit more about that and ask you a few questions. Odaka is kind of a hidden gem that a number of us in the civil affairs community know about. Many other people don't, and you can definitely achieve effects with this, especially in competition, which is something that we're, I think, as a joint combined army, really struggling with, is how we get after having those influence and deterrence effects in the competition phase. ODACA is one of those tools that's available to us. It's the Overseas Humanitarian Disaster and Civic Aid Fund. Now, I have very limited experience with that program. Can you tell the audience a little bit more about the ODACA creation, how large it is, what it usually funds? 00:04:54 ISMAEL LOPEZ Yeah, absolutely. I'm able to see it from two perspectives, right? I'm able to see this from my seat at DSCA and then my seat in the reserve component as a civil affairs officer, where to your earlier point, ODACA is a bit of this hidden gem and it could be leveraged to help. achieving effects in the competition phase, but where there are issues is the lack of understanding of what you can and cannot do with the appropriation or how you can actually link it to creating those effects. And I get that because rewind the clock back to 2013 when I first delved into civil affairs, one of the metrics that are utilized to determine our success in country is How many projects can you nominate or how many projects did you complete? So then when you're aiming to achieve or hit that metric, you're not necessarily looking at the linkage. You're almost betting on that someone will create that linkage for you that you're providing the activity in support of. So Odaka, generally speaking, we're looking at about $26 to $30 million a year. But then that money... gets divvied up across the combatant commands and is prioritized based off of national defense strategy. So if it's called out very specifically country X or region Y is the priority when it comes to DoD humanitarian aid efforts, then preponderance of that money will be earmarked for that country or that region globally. Once you pull the thread on that, then there's different tiers. for the countries that are located in that combatant command or in that region of the world, and we're able to allocate money for those countries as well. Where it gets tricky is that what will factor into it is how proactive and how thorough the ODCs and the SCOs are with executing those HA projects and then the end -use monitoring piece of it. So their requirements are tied to these project nominations. The country team, the HA managers, the civil affairs teams that are assigned to or are deployed in that country are not providing the feedback necessary to determine the return on investment. Then the following year, what could end up happening is this country is a priority, but what we're not able to tell Congress is, are we actually achieving the effects that we're desiring in that country or in that region? And if we can't answer that with tangible metrics, then that will factor into a reduction of ODACA funding for the following year. Recently, in Indo -PACOM, the focus has been very heavy on the mill -to -mill engagement piece. What is starting to catch up now is the sieve mill piece. And so we have money allocated, but they're sort of playing catch up with the rest of the COCOMs as it pertains to. getting those funds and then executing projects and us being able to sustain them over an extended period of time. 00:08:01 BRIAN HANCOCK Yeah, it is a challenging problem set. One of the taskers that we get annually here in our command is to measure the strategic effect of DACA projects, which are largely tactical, in a bunch of different countries. and were given one week. Now you've got a rotational force here of about 15 civil affairs folks of various persuasions. Maybe a couple of them can be dedicated to that task. They had nothing to do with the inception of these projects. They were not part of the construction. They saw none of the... assessment or staff estimate documents related to them. All they saw was probably, if they're lucky, the proposal that went into the website to get them. And they don't have time to do extensive interviews or measurement. And it's pretty tricky to take something very tactical and then indicate not as an MOP you completed the project, but as an MOE it actually influenced the local populace towards U .S. and NATO objectives. That is a very tough thing to do mathematically, especially without the data, documents, and time to be able to do that. 00:09:18 ISMAEL LOPEZ is a 00:09:28 BRIAN HANCOCK What is the standard that is accepted by the panel who's controlling those funding and appropriations? What realistically do you have to prove? 00:09:39 ISMAEL LOPEZ So this has been a challenge for several years now. I saw it firsthand. As a civil affairs team leader in the South Com AOR, where I deployed to support a very specific commander, but as a, hey, by the way, while you're down there, there's these products that were funded several years ago. Do you mind taking a look? No context behind it. I can't do pre and post surveys on the local populace because I don't know what it was or what the baseline was prior to the construction or the completion. And then now. So it was very arbitrary. It was very much, yeah, it's good. Is the government still funding it? Sure. Are they employing people that are maintaining it? Sure. And I think back then, 2013, 2014 timeframe, I think the blanket answer to all that was, we're countering Russia, China. And so as long as you were saying that, then it was all gravy. And we've obviously have evolved from that to we're now tying these very tactical actions. to operational objectives, right? So are we supporting CoCom LOEs? And if we're supporting CoCom LOEs at the minimum, we understand that we should be integrated into strategic objectives, right? Because the LOEs are derived from those strategic documents. And we've gotten to that point, but now where we are able or unable to get that data or the metrics. really falls on the lack of funding to do it. So the easy button is, well, you have your security cooperation professionals that are assigned to the embassies. They should be. They can do that. Yeah. But the reality is all embassies, regardless of the size, they are overextended and under -resourced. So they're always dealing with VIP visitors. They're dealing with taskings from the State Department. They have their steady state activities they have to be supporting, and they're falling in on, let's just say, 30 projects over the last three years. And, oh, by the way, all these assessments need to be done, but your TDY funds are X. And there's no way of doing it. So then it trickles down to, hey, do we have any civil affairs teams coming downrange? Can they support? And I think we've gotten to a bit of a sweet spot. is this mutual understanding that civil affairs teams in country, as long as they're not being detracted from their main mission, are able to provide some sort of support in conducting those surveys and assessments. However, it's still not the right answer because they're falling in on rudimentary information, background information, and it's still very much from their perspective. At DSCA, we have increased our budget for AM &E purposes to help country teams that are in the red, so to speak, when it comes to conducting these assessments, especially countries that are a priority where we understand, hey, we need to continue engaging on the HA side of things and not the MIL side of things. So we need to get as close to valid or reality as we can. So we have contractors now that are assigned to the combat commands, folks within my office that can. be requested to go out and support. And again, we're working across the command and commands to see as appropriate where we can support. So a lot of work still has to be done there. But again, looking back to 10 years ago, even five years ago, I think across the board, DOD has gotten significantly better at providing metrics to validate activities vice. simply stating we're countering Russia and China and we're going to call it good. 00:13:35 BRIAN HANCOCK As they should. All of these projects should be tied to a line of effort, tied to a strategic effect that's in line both with the COCOM and the chief of mission. And then you would need a way to measure them at a granular level and then aggregate them to measure progress against a line of effort aligned to strategic intent. I don't think that framework has been built. I hope we eventually get there. If you ask some of the SCAs in the embassy, at best, they're going to give you anecdotal information. So there's a lot of things that we would have to do. And if we send a civil affairs team, depending on their training and background, that can be more or less successful. Now, you're probably tracking that in the Army side of civil affairs, we've built that 38 golf program where I can have an engineer with 20 years of experience. It seems to me that's the guy we should be attaching. to a civil affairs team to go do one of these assessments. What do you think? 00:14:33 ISMAEL LOPEZ I completely agree with that. And that's 100 % a step in the right direction. On the Marine side of the house, we sell the capability for civil affairs to do engineering assessments, bridge assessments. And I'm like, who here is an engineer? Who amongst us realistically do that? I mean, one example is I got asked to do a port assessment in Panama. And if you look at the J -SIMS form, It's very, very specific, very detailed, talking depth of water. And how am I supposed to do that? But A, because you're in the environment and you're there, you claim as a capability that you're able to do that, then go on and do great things. And I think one of two things need to happen. Either one, we need to re -wicker the capability to a more realistic set or... Very similar to the 38 golf program is start incorporating or cross -training those specialized folks that can actually bring that capability to bear and then have that as part of the team. And then now we're being more honest with what it is that we can do in our assessments and the information that we're providing to hire. Right. 00:15:41 BRIAN HANCOCK I appreciate that. I watched as the Navy discontinued its civil affairs program. Obviously, the Marines are part of the Department of the Navy, so I don't want to. miscommunicate that. But the Navy had its own civil affairs for a while. And when we as the Army Civil Affairs came out and were asked to do port assessments in Rim of the Pacific, quite frankly, we couldn't do it. And we had functional specialists because there's quite a bit of difference between a great engineer who's used to large infrastructure and other things go out and assess the full range of capabilities of a port, especially after a major disaster. We had to bridge that gap. We had to go to German portmasters, which is great when you're working with combined partners. I think that's an opportunity. And they knew this business, soup and nails. They went out there and everything on the Jason and more they did and could even do follow -ups to see the progress as repair work was going on. That was fantastic that we had a joint partner. I don't think we have an organic capability in DOD to do things like that. And when we're talking having to project power to your port of debarkation, that seems like a gap that we need to fill right now. 00:16:59 ISMAEL LOPEZ Yeah, I agree. And I have some good news for you. The Navy is reconstituting their civil affairs program. When we were out at Balakatan in the Philippines last spring, we had a full -up Navy civil affairs team. I was the first of its kind in this reconstituted form, but I was part of a combined Marine Navy team in the Philippines. So Big Navy has realized that understanding where we're going as DOD, that they're bringing it back. And hopefully that's part of the equation there. I hope so. One of the reasons it was closed down is because the way they scoped their mission for Naval Civil Affairs. 00:17:34 BRIAN HANCOCK of the reasons it was closed down is because the way they scoped their mission for Naval Civil Affairs. was somewhat redundant with what the Army and the Marine Corps were already doing. So instead of focusing on those things where they have almost unique capabilities, such as assessing aquaculture and water -based commerce and those effects and the port stuff, they were doing a lot of land -based types of assessments and other things. And I think they became a victim of budget shortfall if they were seen as a redundant capability. both in the Army and the Marine Corps, you and I both have responsibility since we both need naval partners to do our job to help shape their burgeoning program and make sure as it's resetting that it doesn't make some of the mistakes that were made previously and help them be a vibrant addition to our larger civil affairs community because I think we really need them. 00:18:32 ISMAEL LOPEZ I wholeheartedly agree. There are fortunate scenarios. When you look at the reserve component where you can have these very uniquely trained individuals that can come in. I had a ship captain as a corporal, so he could speak to that. But that is luck, right? I shouldn't be planning on, I'm going to have these uniquely talented and experienced folks that are going to be able to pour a mission set. Now, 00:19:01 BRIAN HANCOCK you're a major in the United States Marine Corps Reserve. and you serve as commander of Detachment 3, the first civil affairs group. What is that like? What's a day look like on that job for you? 00:19:15 ISMAEL LOPEZ So at first, it's been the funnest job that I've had. I was a civil affairs team leader before, but as a commander, it's been more fulfilling because I'm able to... lead and mentor Marines who are interested in this space or really want to make a difference and have a better understanding of how their actions support operational and strategic objectives. I think that's often missed by the less experienced civil affairs Marines. My typical day as a commander is just dealing with admin, to be honest. It's making sure that my Marines are able and ready to deploy, enabling them to be able to go and execute the mission. is really what I spend a majority of my time doing. 00:20:01 BRIAN HANCOCK Let's talk a little bit more about that training piece. I know you kind of build it. A lot of things you do as admin, but part of readiness is being able to do your job. The Marine is an expeditionary force, perhaps becoming even more expeditionary with the expeditionary advanced base operations construct the chief of the Navy signed off on. So very interesting training opportunities for the fleet right now. And you mentioned Balakatan and some of those other exercise -type missions that you've done. And I know you've probably done Marine Corps Warfighting exercise and mentioned JRTC. But what are some of these other missions you've done? You've talked about a dock -up. A dock -up is joined at the hip with Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief, HADR. The Navy has a huge role in HADR for just a whole bunch of reasons. Has your detachment participated in any HADR missions? Is that another training opportunity that you have with your Marines and detachment?

NIPT is a prenatal SCREENING method that involves analysis of cell-free fetal DNA (cfDNA) in maternal blood. Prenatal screening for sex chromosome aneuploidies (SCAs) has become readily available through expanded non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT). NIPTs became commercially available in 2011 and has since been introduced in more than 60 countries around the world and is now part of mainstream obstetrical practice. Initially offered as a secondary screen for pregnancies with a high probability of a fetal chromosomal anomaly, NIPT is now often offered and recommended as a first-line screening test for the main chromosomal aneuploidies. Initially, NIPT was available to screen for fetal trisomies 21 (Down syndrome), 18 (Edwards syndrome) and 13 (Patau syndrome). This has expanded of course to include (separately) fetal sex chromosome aneuploidy (SCA) screening. However, there are some VERY important points we must remember when seeing an “atypical sex chromosome” NIPT result. What is the PPV of a SCA found on NIPT? In this episode we will highlight a recent NIPT atypical sex chromosome result from our practice and review what this may and may not actually mean, and review why NIPT screening for SCA is actually VERY controversial with some potential ETHICAL concerns, with some countries recommending AGAINST ordering it. Lots to cover here….so listen in.

What you'll get out of this episodeTim sat down with Carla Bond, Founder and CEO of UpSkill VR, to discuss the transformative role that virtual reality is playing in emergency training. Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) kills 1 person every 2 minutes in the United States, and 70% of SCAs happen at home. But did you know your chance of survival increases 45% when CPR is administered promptly?! UpSkill VR uses VR to help students, EMTs, and communities prepare for emergency situations, rooted in Carla's own personal experience. She shares her personal experience as an EMT, including a story where she arrived at a call and found an infant in need of help and the surprising realization that led Carla to founding the company. We dive into the details of her journey as an entrepreneur, her target market, ideal partners and end users, and what's next for UpSkill beyond CPR. Here are some of the key takeaways from the episode:In this episode you'll discover: Why Carla and UpSkill VR are on a mission to improve the ways emergency training is delivered using virtual reality, and how they create more immersive and realistic scenarios for trainees to practice in a safe environment. Carla's personal story as an EMT and how that experience shaped the UpSkill mission. We discuss the potential of VR to help bridge the gap in healthcare education and training and improve patient outcomes. Carla talks about the importance of partnerships in growing UpSkill VR and how they are working with different organizations to expand their reach. We also chat about Carla's experience as a Navy veteran, the challenges she faced transitioning to civilian life, and the importance of having a support system within the veteran community. Finally, we explore the exciting developments on the horizon for UpSkill VR beyond CPR training, including the potential to expand into other areas such as public health and safety. Final Frontier - 5 Questions in 50 Seconds Top Challenges:  Exposure, VR hardware prices, content availability Top Opportunity: Personalization Tech Trend You're Following: Realism – game art and design Top Media Recs:  The Transition, by Bunker Labs (Link→) "Stand for Something", by Brian Burkhar (Link→) Healthcare / Tech Leader(s) You're Following:  Ryan Ribeira, CEO at SimX (LinkedIn →) Tim Cook, CEO at Apple Quotables“When you think about a traditional CPR class, you're in a controlled environment and you're playing essentially with a doll, of course they are manikins, but it's a torso. So the first thing you're not going to encounter out in the real world is a torso and a head that needs CPR, and there is nothing else going on. So me showing up to calls; to summarize, I showed up to a call that really was a catalyst for me, I showed up to a call where according to the mother who had been a nurse for 20 years; so that's at least 10 CPR classes that she sat through, but when we got there, he was still wedged between the tub and the toilet. It was not that she did not have the education to do it, she did not have that emotional tie to be able to take what she used in the class room and bring it to real life, and that's where VR came in. ““Our perfect candidate is people who are professionals in the healthcare space, who are typically 1. Required to have it, since they are doing it anyway, and 2. Students who are going into the healthcare field, whether they are in highschool or college. We want to be there before you hit the clinic or hospital, so by the time that you get your first job, you've had endless amounts of practice on the most realialistic scenarios possible so we don't have doctors passing out at the first sign of arterial blood or EMTs having those difficult calls. We can out them in there ahead of time and expirence it. This weeds out a lot of darkness, because you don't really know how you're going to respond, but if I out you in VR, I can pretty much tell you how you are going to respond. With our experiences, we track your heart rate, so I can tell you when you got scared, and I can tell you when you got out of breath.

“Assim também a língua é um pequeno membro, e gloria-se de grandes coisas. Vede quão grande bosque um pequeno fogo incendeia.” Tiago, 3.5 Os capítulos finais do livro de Juízes chocam de diversas maneiras: a degradação moral e espiritual extrema de Israel; o tratamento dado às mulheres, independentemente se fossem esposas, filhas ou cidadãs de Israel; a perda absurda de vidas. E onde tudo isso começou? Com um problema conjugal. Esta catástrofe final narrada no livro me fez lembrar um trecho da exortação do apóstolo Tiago, falando sobre a língua: “Assim também a língua é um pequeno membro, e gloria-se de grandes coisas. Vede quão grande bosque um pequeno fogo incendeia.” Grandes incêndios começam com faíscas. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/a-palavra-responde9/support

Épisode 511 : On le sait, les algorithmes sont complexes et exigeants, mais les dernières révélations sur le fonctionnement d'Instagram risquent de nous amener à repenser notre manière d'utiliser la plateforme. On décrypte tout ça pour vous !Depuis la nuit des temps, ou plutôt depuis 1945 date à laquelle a été créé le premier ordinateur, les algorithmes fascinent les geeks. On s’est passionnés pour les gourous du SEO, de Matt Cuts à Olivier Andrieux et puis aujourd’hui, notre marotte ce sont les algos des Réseaux sociaux !Le 20 Décembre, la créatrice de contenu Rachel Reichenbach aka Raylune a publié sur son blog les échanges qu'elle a eux avec Instagram au sujet de l'algorithme et on analyse etout ça pour vous !Pourquoi les algorithmes évoluent ?Tout comme leurs prédécesseurs, les algorithmes des réseaux sociaux sont d’humeur changeante et sont extrêmement évolutifs.Si ils évoluent, c’est pour s’adapter aux nouveaux besoins de la société, des plateformes mais aussi des utilisateurs.Par exemple, ces dernières années, la hausse des démonstrations violentes, racistes, homophobes dans le monde et sur les réseaux ont refaçonné le visage des plateformes et donc de leurs algorithmes.Autre exemple, les nouvelles extensions ou fonctionnalités ajoutées aux plateformes ont du elles aussi être intégrées à l’algorithme.On ne peut pas intégrer un nouveau module sans lui laisser de place, enfin si un peu avec IGTV ou les articles Facebook.L’algorithme de Google au sommet de son art incluait l’optimisation d’absolument tous les paramètres de votre site web, on ne pouvait pas optimiser le poids de ses images et laisser de côté la sémantique de ses contenus.Les plateformes s’en fichent bien que vous restiez dans votre petit cocon de reach et dans votre bulle d’engagement. Quand vous croyez avoir la maîtrise de la bête, elle évolue, vos habitudes deviennent payantes et il faut se préparer à évoluer avec elle.Les nouvelles exigences d’instagramCe qu’il faut retenir, c’est que l’algorithme d'Instagram vous récompensera ou vous punira en fonction de votre utilisation de l'application dans son ensemble.On apprend via cet article de blog qu’il existe plus de 500 facteurs différents dans l’algo, et que notre utilisation d’Instagram est beaucoup plus prise en compte que les likes, les vues, les commentaires, d’un ou plusieurs contenus. Les 3 axes abordés dans l’article :L’utilisation de toutes les fonctions d'instagramLa création de reelsLa cohérence / tenir le rythmeUtiliser toutes les fonctionnalités d'Instagram pour être performantsQuand on parle de toutes les fonctionnalités, on est pas simplement sur les reels, ITGV, post et stories ah que non. On veut que vous viviez Insta, que vous pensiez Insta.Les filtres en réalité augmentée, la géolocalisation, la messagerie, les stickers d’interaction, l’intégration de gifs, tout ça tout ça !Publier des reels pour être plus visibles sur instagramEt bien tout simplement, car Insta veut mettre le paquet sur nouveau format qui est sa meilleure chance d’écraser son concurrent TikTok et qui mieux que les utilisateurs peuvent validerez entériner le format ?La réponse d’insta à ce sujet est claire : si vous ne publiez pas 1 reels par semaine vous serez pénalisésCas pratique : Je poste un reels le Lundi, pendant 1 semaine, mes posts bénéficieront d’une prime de sympathieInstagram évoque même le fait que le rythme idéal serait de 4 à 7 reels par semaine.. L’équivalent de ce qu’une marque bien installée sur la plateforme fait en Story.INsta dispose d’une team entière qui scrute les reels pour trouver des pépites à mettre en avant et le Recyclage TikTok n’est pas une option !Le mot d'ordre: Cohérence et persistanceLe tout c’est de tenir sur la durée et d’être réguliers dans l’effort. Ex: Un post le lundi, le jeudi et le samedi ou un reels tous les mercredis, ou 2 stories par jour. Suivre les horaires de publication appropriées.Alors à quelle fréquence il faut publier sur Instagram ??La quantité idéale et très surréaliste de publications de chaque type par semaine selon instagram :• 3 post par semaine (y compris posts issus de reels et IGTV)• 8 à 10 stories par semaine, de préférence +2 par jour• 4 à 7 reels par semaine• 1 à 3 IGTV par semaineSi on doit être raisonnable, 2 à 3 posts par semaine, 1 à 2 stories par jour , 1 à 2 reels par semaine et un IGTV si on est chaud,. . .Le Super Daily est le podcast quotidien sur les réseaux sociaux.

Tillsammans resonerar de om vad som är viktigt i ledarskapet, men också om vad som kan vara fördelar med att vara ung chef. Detta i en bransch som kombinerar stolta traditioner med snabb utveckling av teknik och produktutveckling. Anna berättar även om sin medverkan i #slutavverkat, som varit en del av metoo-arbetet inom skogsbranschen.

I vårt tredje avsnitt av SCAs ingenjörspodd kommer Anders Edling Hultgren på besök till poddstudion och våra värdar Sara Starrsjö, Linus Babar och Joel Sävström-Engman. Anders leder SCAs bioraffinaderiverksamhet. Det blir ett spännande samtal om de möjligheter som skogen erbjuder för en fossilfri framtid, exempelvis för miljövänliga drivmedel. Och inte minst, vilka möjligheter som finns inom SCA!

I vårt andra avsnitt av SCAs ingenjörspodd besöker Wilhelm Nordmark våra poddare Sara Starrsjö, Linus Babar och Joel Sävström-Engman. Wilhelm är en av SCAs yngre medarbetare som valt att flytta för jobbet. Det är något som även våra tre poddvärdar har erfarenhet av. Vad finns det för olika sidor av att flytta för jobbet, och hur kan man utvecklas av att söka sig till både nytt jobb och ny bostadsort.

I första avsnittet av SCAs ingenjörspodd får våra poddare Sara Starrsjö, Linus Babar och Joel Sävström-Engman besök av Albin Nilsson. Albin har fått pris för att ha skrivit Sveriges bästa exjobb, och han gick efter studierna vidare till sitt första jobb inom SCA. I avsnittet reflekterar de tillsammans om tankar och förväntningar inför det första jobbet efter studietiden.

Sedan november har proteströrelsen gula västarna demonstrerat varje helg i Frankrike, och samlade som mest 300.000 personer. President Emanuel Macron har backat i frågan som utlöste protesterna (prishöjningen på bränsle), och inlett en nationell konsultation med landets invånare. Trots detta fortsätter demonstrationerna och har även utnyttjats av andra grupper som t.ex. vill avskaffa Frankrikes könsneutrala äktenskapsbalk och infiltrerats av bl.a. ukrainska separatister. Den formellt ledarlösa rörelsen ger uttryck för ett stort missnöje bland den franska allmänheten, men vad vill rörelsen egentligen? Kommer presidenten och politikerna att lyckas fånga upp konkreta krav, eller är problemet större än rörelsen? Ett föredrag av Jenny Andersson, Professor vid Frankrikes forskningsorganisation CNRS och föreståndare för MaxPo-centret vid universitetet SciencePo i Paris. Våren 2019 är hon fellow vid SCAS vid Uppsala Universitet. Seminariet modererades av Ylva Pettersson, programsamordnare Utrikespolitiska institutet. Bakom rubriken är en samtalsserie vi anordnar tillsammans med Världskulturmuseerna om det som finns bakom rubriken i aktuella händelser vi kan läsa om i tidningen.

Jakten är äntligen igång!! Vi har startat på var sitt håll med lyckat resultat. André drog iväg till Västerbotten med Petter för skogsfågeljakt tillika fadderjakt och Nicklas trotsade vädret och fick en lyckad sjöfågelpremiär för sig själv nere på sjön. Petter "klick-klick" kallas numera för Petter "Stryparn"... och har äntligen lyckats peta säkringen åt rätt håll. Tusen tack till Urban Ekskär på SCA för sponsring med jaktkort och tusen tack till Stina och Torkel för förstklassig kost och logi!! Om ni också vill jaga på SCAs marker så ska ni klicka in er på scajaktochfiske Älgjakten drar igång för oss till helgen och förberedelserna inför denna premiär är i full gång. Nåja, mycket nöje - och som vanlig hör av er på Instagram @shoottoeat eller till shoottoeat.pitea@gmail.com om ni har jaktrelaterade frågor eller funderingar eller om ni rentav vill ge oss lite beröm. Hörs, hej!

Det finns två saker som vi svenskar gör allt för att undvika att prata om, pengar och döden. I dagens pod pratar Peter och jag om båda. När det kommer till vår privatekonomi är det nog ingen sak som är så jobbig att ta tag i som vad som ska hända vid vår bortgång. Vi tar upp tre punkter att fundera kring: Vad händer om jag går bort? vad vill jag ska hända? och har jag informerat mina anhöriga? Men vi börjar med att prata om SCAs uppdelning, investmentbolag med utmanade värdering, och Ericsson bla…..

The tail numbers NASA 911 and NASA 905 were used for the two Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, converted Boeing 747s that carried the shuttle between the landing sites and the launch complex at Kennedy Space Center. Our guest in this episode is Ace Beall who flew the SCAs for several years. We talk about operations, modifications on the airplane, the flight characteristics with and without the shuttle as well as some anecdotes from Ace's time on the SCA.

What kills 1000 people a day or one person every two minutes? What kills more people annually than breast cancer, lung cancer and HIV/AIDs combined? What is one event that kills most of the people who suffer from it, but who could possibly be saved? The answer is sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). Today's show will be about the survivor of, not one but over 140 sudden cardiac arrests, and his wife. We'll learn why he has suffered so many SCAs, even though he is a relatively young, otherwise healthy man. Lastly, we'll find out what his experience has taught him and his family and what he and his wife have established so others, like he, will be survivors.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/HearttoHeart)

It's all a part of WHRO's American Graduate: Let's Make It Happen. Join guest host Lisa Godley for this criticial discussion, Friday, April 27 at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM, or stream us at whrv.org.

Welcome to the second episode in our two-part series covering the modified Boeing 747s that NASA uses carry the space shuttle orbiters when they need to be repositioned between Edwards Air Force Base in California, Kennedy Space Center in Florida, and other locations. We talked about the basics of the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, or "SCAs" in Part One, in which we also interviewed SCA crew chief Pete Seidl. If you missed that episode or if you're a recent subscriber, please be sure to download that episode as well. Today we're going to talk to one of the pilots who flies NASA's SCAs. To say that Gordon Fullerton is an SCA pilot would be true, but to stop there would be to fail to outline as rich an aviation and aerospace career as anyone could claim. He's presently associate director of flight operations at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center in Southern California. In addition to flying the SCAs, his assignments include a variety of flight research and support activities piloting a variety of multi-engine and high performance aircraft. Fullerton entered the U.S. Air Force in 1958. After primary and basic flight school, he trained as an F-86 interceptor pilot and later became a B-47 bomber pilot. In 1964, he attended what is now be called Air Force Test Pilot School at Edwards Air Force Base and was later assigned as a test pilot with the Bomber Operations Division at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. While still in the Air Force, he went on to become a NASA astronaut and served on the support crews for the Apollo 14, 15, 16 and 17 lunar missions. [Audio] The voice there saying "Roger, you have good thrust" is Fullerton, who was the man at the CAPCOM station in Houston for Gene Cernan and Jack Schmidt's liftoff from the Taurus Littrow Valley as part of Apollo 17 - the last manned mission to the moon. In 1977, Fullerton joined one of the two two-man flight crews that piloted the Space Shuttle prototype Enterprise during the Approach and Landing Test program, which involved flying the orbiter to altitude on an SCA, separating the orbiter from the SCA, and then gliding the orbiter to a landing to validate landing procedures. Fullerton logged 382 hours in space during two space shuttle missions. He was the pilot for the eight-day STS-3 orbital flight test mission in 1982. STS-3 landed at Northrup Strip at White Sands, New Mexico because Rogers Dry Lake at Edwards Air Force Base was wet due to heavy seasonal rains. He was also the commander of the STS-51F Spacelab 2 mission in 1985, which landed at Edwards. Fullerton has logged more than 16,000 hours of flying time and flown 114 different types of aircraft, including full qualification in the T-33, T-34, T-37, T-38, T-39, F-86, F-101, F-106, F-111, F-14, F/A-18, X-29, KC-135, C-140 and B-47. Since joining Dryden as a research pilot, Fullerton has piloted nearly all the research and support aircraft flown at the facility and currently flies the center's Beech King Air 200 as well as the B-747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft. He was inducted into the Astronaut Hall of Fame in 2005, and the International Space Hall of Fame in 1982. We started the research for this episode intending to focus on the SCAs themselves. We were delighted to have access to one of the pilots of these magnificent machines. But we had no idea when we submitted the initial inquiry that that we'd end up talking to a man whose career has been so intertwined with the space program and the national dream that has captured so many imaginations. With your indulgence, then, we couldn't help also asking Gordon for his thoughts about the space program - where it's been and where it's going. We caught up with Gordon by phone at his office at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center in Southern California.

Sometimes, it lands at Edwards Air Force Base and, if needed, it could land at White Sands or one of several other emergency landing sites around the world.That's great, but it puts the orbiter several thousand miles away from its launching facility at the cape.So how does the orbiter get around? Most of you know that the answer is that you mount it on the top of a specially-modified Boeing 747 called a Shuttle Carrier Aircraft or "SCA." But, if you're like me, you probably didn't know much about the SCAs. How are they different from a stock 747? How many are there? What's it like to maintain an aircraft like that? What's it like to fly it?Well, if there's one thing you know about Airspeed, it's that we never pass up the opportunity to go right to the source to get real answers from the people closest to the aircraft. And that's just what we did for this special two-part series.First, a bit about the SCAs. There are two of them. NASA 905 (tail number N905NA) is a Boeing 747-100 and the other, NASA 911 (tail number N911NA) is a short-range Boeing 747-100SR.The two aircraft are very similar and have nearly identical operating characteristics. If you happen to be lucky enough to see one on the ramp but can't see the tail number, NASA 905 has two upper-deck windows on each side while NASA 911 has five.The SCAs have a maximum gross taxi weight of 711,000 pounds. A stock 747-100 weighs about 380,000 pounds empty and an SCA weighs even more than that. Once you add 180,000 pounds or more for the orbiter, you have less than 140,000 pounds or so left for fuel and other stuff. And there's precious little other stuff because even using the entire remaining 140,000 or so pounds for fuel only gives you about a 1,000-mile range.That's actually a little gratifying, because these are some of the same concerns that those of us who have flown ultralights, Cessna 152s, or light sport aircraft know a thing or two about. If you've ever left your flight bag, spare change, and shoelaces back at the FBO and still had to closely manage the amount of fuel in the plane to get two average-sized guys into a C-152 under max gross, you've had the same thing on your mind - at least at some scale - that our guest today deals with very frequently.We start off the series on the SCA by talking to SCA crew chief Pete Seidl. Pete started working with the SCAs in 1979. He's an employee of Computer Sciences Corporation (or "CSC") under contract to NASA's Shuttle Support Operations Office at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center in Southern California. He heads a team of five at NASA Dryden that does the regular maintenance on the two SCAs. Among other things, Pete was on the crew that took NASA 905 and the Enterprise orbiter to the Paris Airshow in 1983.Before we get going, a couple of notes for non-space-junkies.You'll hear us talk about hypergolic fuels. Hypergolic fuels ignite immediately when the two components of the fuel come together. They're very reliable, even if their components are sometimes highly toxic. Examples are hydrazine paired with nitric acid and monomethylhydrazine (MMH) paired with nitrogen tetroxide, the latter pair of which is used in the space shuttle's reaction control system. Early uses included a critical application for the Apollo program's lunar modules.One other insider point. Moving orbiters is complex enough with a crack team, lots of support, and only one orbiter at a time to move. But, in early 2001, NASA came within 37 minutes of having a formation flight of the two SCAs, each with an orbiter aboard.On February 20, 2001, Space Shuttle Atlantis unexpectedly had to land at Edwards. Atlantis needed to be received, processed, and ferried back to the Orbiter Processing Facility at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Space Shuttle Discovery was undergoing upgrades at Boeing's facility in nearby Palmdale and needed to be at the cape in preparation for launch by March 8. NASA 905 was already in Palmdale awaiting mating of Discovery for the ferry flight, but NASA 911 was at Evergreen Air Center in Marana, Arizona undergoing maintenance.Two orbiters, two SCAs, an almost simultaneous deadline, and not much time to organize and carry out an amazingly complex set of operations. Pete and his team faced an unprecedented challenge. But, on March 1, 2001, the two SCAs, each with a national treasure mounted atop it, launched for Kennedy Space Center with NASA 905 and Columbia taking off at 11:00 a.m. local and NASA 911 with Atlantis taking off at 11:37. Although each encountered bad weather and other difficulties, each made it to Florida in time.The aircraft took separate routes and a formation flight would have been impractical and beyond the mission risk profile, but at least I'm not the only one to have allowed the thought to enter my head and think that that would have been a deeply moving picture.Anyway, on to the interview. We caught up with Pete Seidl at an office at NASA Dryden a mere 150 feet from the nose of NASA 905.[Interview audio.]Many thanks to Pete Seidl for taking some time out of his day to talk to us.Tune in next time for the view from the cockpit of the NASA Shuttle Carrier Aircraft with SCA pilot, project pilot, former astronaut, Shuttle Approach and Landing Test pilot, STS-3 pilot, and STS 51-F commander Gordon Fullerton._________________________________________A special note of thanks from the Airspeed crew goes out to a heroic listener who works for Apple. We redirected the feed for the podcast on Labor Day weekend over to Libsyn from a prior RSS provider. Apparently, whether due to a glitch in the RSS provider's system or iTunes, when we let the old forwarded feed go away, we winked out of existence on iTunes. Thanks to some fast footwork on the part of a listener and the willingness of the folks at iTunes to hustle the re-listing of the podcast through, we got back online quickly and lost little, if any, or our subscriber base that subscribes through iTunes.Thanks to Apple and to that heroic listener for helping us keep Airspeed up and available._________________________________________Image used per NASA's policy entitled Using NASA Imagery and Linking to NASA Web Sites (October 13, 2005) located at http://www.nasa.gov/audience/formedia/features/MP_Photo_Guidelines.html.See more pictures of the SCA at http://www.dfrc.nasa.gov/Gallery/Photo/STS-Ferry/index.html.
