RACER enables off-road vehicles to travel autonomously and reliably at high speeds over cross-country terrain, enabling new capabilities for our warfighters. Since the DARPA Grand Challenge kicked off more than 20 years ago, the Department of Defense has been very publicly invested in creating the capabilities necessary for ground vehicles to travel autonomously in areas without roads, signs, maps, or even GPS signals. In this episode, we speak with Dr. Stuart Young, who leads the Robotic Autonomy in Complex Environments with Resiliency (RACER) program, which is creating platform agnostic autonomy capable of operating in complex, mission-relevant, off-road environments that are significantly more unpredictable than on-road conditions. We also speak with Dr. Trent Mills, a Colonel in the U.S. Army and special assistant to the DARPA director. Mills shares a warfighter perspective on what the Army has learned from RACER, and how autonomy is being integrated into the way the Army prepares and thinks about future engagements.  Check out videos from earlier experiments to better envision what testing looks like in the field: RACER Experiment 4 – Heavy Platform Highlight Video RACER Experiment 4 – Cockpit view of an autonomous off-road run in TX RACER Experiment 3 – Highlight video In the interview, Young shares: The importance of real-world experimentation and testing How the RACER program has evolved over its time  How performers on RACER have spun out innovative companies to accelerate bringing new capabilities to the warfighter The confluence of technologies that have made off-road autonomy viable What edge case scenarios RACER is still exploring and trying to solve, and what success means for the program 

On The LatinNews Podcast this week, we take a look at the implications of mass deportations from the United States and the possible effects of this on Trinidad and Tobago's society, the current state of emergency due to violent crime as well as the upcoming elections in April. With the surge in gang-driven crime due to transnational drugs, arms and people trafficking, Trinidad and Tobago finds itself negotiating a precarious balancing act in managing the challenges of being located alongside Venezuela and adhering to demands from the United States. We speak to Ivelaw Lloyd Griffith, an expert on Caribbean affairs, a scholar turned writer and author of ten books, a retired political scientist who has served as President of Fort Valley State University and Vice Chancellor of the University of Guyana amongst other accolades.Follow LatinNews for analysis on economic, political, and security developments in Latin America & the Caribbean.

Send us a textIn this week's episode we join the silly season with the rest of the country.The election date is here, Rowlers' handover is complete and Stuart Young is now the jefe.He done establish dominance with a. cabinet reshuffle like a true top dawg. Somehow we had him down as a softy after seeing him fall off the stage what day but who knew he was a bully in his school days. Lasana Libud put an end to any thoughts of denying the incident so the PR statements and clean ups are rolling in. Who thought that in 2025 we would be referencing The Mirror Newspaper. We get into what bullying entails and his response to the incident.The opposition is in go mode to launch their entire slate and with the resignations flying in we're working on getting a call up.TTFA is also looking for volunteers so we might be coming out of retirement to hold down a number 9 for the Soca Warriors.Enjoy!!!

Carnival is bacchanal and the PNM is in full canaval mode. After a week of no signatures and rumours of big divides, all MPs came out of Balisier House in Godfather mode kissing the rings of Stuart Young. And after the PNM defenders and apologists attacked the media for reporting that Amery Browne  was replacing Dr. Rowley in Diego Martin West, the roll out of this exact plan is now in place.Kamla Persad Bissessar & Gary Griffith's responses to Stuart Young being announced as the Prime Minister are on opposite ends of the spectrum as one is playing pretty mad while the other plays blue devil.The carnival bacchanal ain't gonna be left behind either as Trinidad Killa jumped on Full Blown's Big Links Riddim and is left tout int he cold as no approvals seem to be forthcoming. We haven't heard a peep from Machel Montano or Yung Bredda or any of the Full Blown team but Killa has heard from their lawyers.We must take some time to celebrate Rachel Montano on NPR Tiny Desk and congratulate him for pulling together an all star band featuring the likes of Ettienne Charles and Kyle Peters and delivering a stellar performance. At least I thought so before I started reading social media comments.Of course wee take in some of the best songs of the season as always.Tune in & Enjoy!!!!!

Kicking off 2025 with a vibrant celebration of culture and music, I recount my unforgettable Christmas experience abroad with the Cash family amidst the chilly backdrop of the DMV area. Imagine my surprise when I came back into a State of Emergency but up to now I can't figure out what's the emergency as everything that's happening seems like a state of normalcy. Squeeze Rankin's Mama Good Good Son sums up what we've been seeing for decades so maybe we've been living in a State of Emergency for far longer than we knew.On the soca scene, Benjai is back on the scene making carnival great again while Sunny Bling put the spotlight on the issue with artists in the early fetes.Political transitions also take center stage as we explore Prime Minister Keith Rowley's decision to step down and the potential ripple effects on Trinidad and Tobago's leadership landscape as he hands over the reigns of power to Stuart Young. From political rivalries to personal compassion, we discuss the complexities of leadership, the emotional journey of public figures, and the evolving dynamics within the political sphere as the unlikely figure of Gary Griffith seemed to offer the only sober response to Dr. Rowley's resignation.Tune in and Enjoy!!!

Mit „Shuggie Bain“ wurde der Schotte Stuart zum Booker Prize-Träger und zum Star. Sein zweiter Roman knüpft daran an: Zwei Jungen im Glasgow der 1990er-Jahre, die sich lieben. Die harte Außenwelt Glasgows steht dagegen.

Sahara BreeZe (SBZ) Productions in conjunction with Experimental Theatre Collective (ETC) bring to you their version of this classic vaudeville farce The Bear by Anton Chekhov, translated by Stuart Young. This version mixes traditional farce with clowning and aerial circus work.

Booker Prize-winning Scottish novelist Douglas Stuart speaks with Kathryn Ryan about his new novel, Young Mungo which is breaking hearts. Young Mungo develops into a romance between two teenage boys. Mungo is Protestant, James is Catholic. Their relationship is forbidden on so many levels. Set in the early '90s in hard-bitten Glaswegian tenements riven with sectarian violence, where unemployed former shipbuilders "rot in front of daytime tv" and real men prove themselves as thugs. Young Mungo is a story exploring the bounds of masculinity, the magnetism and disappointment of family, the violence experienced by many queer people, and the dangers of falling in love. Douglas Stuart is Glagwegian born and bred. He won the Booker Prize two years ago for his first novel, Shuggie Bain, finally trying his hand at writing age 40, after a glittering career in fashion design.

Douglas Stuart’s debut novel "Shuggie Bain" was awarded the 2020 Booker Prize and his new second novel, "Young Mungo" is a portrayal of working-class life and a moving and suspenseful story of the dangerous first love of two young men: Mungo and James - who should be sworn enemies if they’re to be seen as men at all.

In this episode of the Today's Conveyancer Podcast, David Opie speaks with Stuart Young of MyIdentity about the work being done to improve the process of verifying the identity of home movers in the conveyancing process. The idea is to create a single verification of an individual's identity which can then be used throughout the home moving process.Not only will this save time and cost through the course of a transaction, it is anticipated that compliance with the standards and certifications being established could see Professional Indemnity insurance premiums come down over the next few years for firms conducting conveyancing transactions given that 60% of property fraud starts with identity fraud. Tune in to hear what Stuart has to say about improving the quality of information in the sector, the move to placing greater liability on the identity providers, and which identity providers are currently working toward compliance with the new standards. 

Net Zero Special The UK has a legally binding target to reach ‘net-zero' carbon emissions by 2050. What is meant by net-zero, and what does it mean for the roofing industry? The Construction Leadership Council (CLC) has tried to make this more tangible for construction by setting out a framework of nine principles based around the three themes of transport, buildings, and construction activity—this initiative is known as CO2nstructZero. In this episode, we talk to Stuart Young, from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), about this initiative and how businesses can sign up to become CO2nstructZero Champions. We also go through the nine principles in detail and what they mean for our industry with NFRC's Safety, Health and Environmental Officer Gary Walpole.

Warm, catchy and one of the most enduringly popular Christmas songs ever, the single was originally a hit worldwide in 1975, reaching Number 2 in the UK charts and selling over 13,000 copies in two days only to be kept from the UK number one slot by Queen’s gargantuan smash ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’. Greg, who died on 7th December 2016, aged 69, co-wrote the single with Pete Sinfield. Greg Lake was bassist, guitarist and singer with the trio Emerson, Lake & Palmer (ELP), while he and Sinfield had previously been members of progressive rock pioneers King Crimson ELP’s keyboardist Keith Emerson had encouraged each member of the band to come up with solo material, so in 1975 Lake teamed up with lyricist Sinfield to create something out of a “Christmassy” chord sequence Lake had written. The result was thoughtful, but melodic too: a humanist, Christmas song that also manages to warm the cockles. By adding a snippet of twinkling sleigh-ride music by classical composer Sergei Prokofiev, they summoned the sparkle of Christmas, creating, as Sinfield has said, “a picture-postcard Christmas, with morbid edges”. Meanwhile, Emerson - whose love of classical music had led ELP into crossover adventures in their Moog-driven arrangements of pieces such as Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition — suggested inserting the Prokofiev snippet. This new 4K version of the original promo video has been painstakingly and expertly restored from a recently discovered rare copy of the original film for ‘I Believe in Father Christmas”, which was shot partly on the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt and in the caves where the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered. The video includes previously unseen footage from the Vietnam W

Subscribe to Outside Health and Fitness iTunes | Android | Email | RSS | More Options Fitness Training for Hikers Even if you’re in good shape there are unique demands hiking places on your muscles, joints and cardiovascular system. For example, when you’re hiking downhill, your legs have to work harder to help keep you balanced. Fitness training helps improve your muscle strength, bone density and joint health. It can also help reduce the risk of injury when hiking. Stuart Young from Take Fitness shared some great ideas for pre-hike training in an article on Outside Health and Fitness and I wanted to share some of his ideas. Include Hiking Related Activities Your training should include activities that closely resemble hiking. For instance, you want to find a way to replicate walking uphill with a weighted pack, ideally by including steep outdoor trails in your training program.But what do you do if you live in a place that is relatively flat?  He suggests training on an incline treadmill or even using stairs at home to go up and down. Make sure your training includes a pack and hill work. Multi hour hikes and sessions at the gym will help you train: ...your hips to support your weight over variable terrain; ...your quads for descents; ...your upper back, shoulders and traps to hoist your gear and carry your pack. You also want to train your lower back, abdominals and obliques...all important for transferring power to your legs to move you forward. You'll need strength to navigate boulders, rock scrambles, cross streams and traverse tricky slopes. Best Fitness Training for Hikers Progressive Hiking Nothing prepares you to hike better than hiking. (it’s the same reason runners run to prepare for a race). Just like a runner builds up their distance, speed and intensity you should start your training with short, less-strenuous hikes with a light backpack or daypack, and slowly increase the elevation and length of your hikes. As you do, gradually increase the size of your pack. Overtime you’ll get stronger and want to take on bigger challenges and longer hikes with the load you’ll carry during your targeted trip. Light Cardio Lighter cardiovascular exercise is useful for improving your aerobic conditioning.  Aim for a 5-mile hike, including walking for 30-45 minutes across varying incline, 3 days a week. It’s worth including a longer walk on a hilly terrain on a 4th day and increasing the long walk every week until at least two-thirds of your target hike distance is covered. In the gym, you can use elliptical trainers, climbing machines and stair-steppers to isolate the lower-body and improve your cardiovascular endurance. Strength Training Finally, Strength training will help increase your flexibility, balance and strengthen your back and legs as part of your overall conditioning. The shoulders and back should also be strong enough to carry a pack. Some useful strength training exercises include: Bodyweight Squats Single-leg Squats Step-ups Lunges Barbell Shrugs Deadlifts Back Extensions To improve flexibility stretching warm muscles will help and Yoga is excellent for improving both your flexibility and balance. 10 of the Best Hiking Trails in the U.S. The U.S. is full of excellent hiking trails so as you plan your next hiking trip keep these 10 locations in mind: The Appalachian Trail Yosemite National Park Green Mountain National Forest Hudson Highlands State Park Rocky Mountain National Park Mount Whitney The Pacific Crest Trail The Grand Canyon Acadia National Park Kauai Clean Eating Program Last week I mentioned that I’m starting a clean eating challenge on the 21st and I wanted to update you on my progress and the progress of those I’m coaching through the program.

Just after Mrs Thatcher declared that terrorists should be starved of the "oxygen of publicity", it transpired a senior Republican paramilitary had been interviewed for a BBC 'Real Lives' documentary: 'At the Edge of the Union'. Home Secretary, Leon Brittan, wrote to the BBC Chairman, Stuart Young, asking the BBC to cancel the broadcast. The Governors called an emergency meeting and ordered that it could not go out. When this was seen as government censorship, BBC and staff in other media went on a day's strike; and the Assistant Director-General suggested the Governors were to the BBC 'what the iceberg was to the Titanic'. The programme was later broadcast with minor amendments included; BBC procedures were tightened; and some months later the DG Alasdair Milne was asked to step down.

In Conceiving the Indian Buddhist Patriarchs in China (University of Hawai'i Press, 2015), Stuart Young examines Chinese hagiographic representations of three Indian Buddhist patriarchs–Asvaghosa (Maming), Nagarjuna (Longshu), and Aryadeva (Sheng tipo)–from the early fifth to late tenth centuries, and explores the role that these representations played in the development of Chinese Buddhism's self-awareness of its own position within Buddhist history and its growing confidence that Buddhism could flourish in China despite the distance between the middle kingdom and the land of the Buddha. On the one hand, this project traces these three legendary figures as they are portrayed first as exemplars of how to revive the Dharma in a world without a Buddha, then as representatives of a lineage stretching back to Shakyamuni, and finally as scholar types who transmitted the Dharma to China via their exegetical and doctrinal works. More broadly, however, Young uses this transformation as an index of changing views of medieval China's relationship to Shakyamuni's India, and of Chinese Buddhists' confidence in their own ability to realize the Buddhist soteriological path and firmly establish the Indian tradition on Chinese soil. One theme running throughout the book is the way in which these three patriarchs bridged the Sino-Indian divide.This was particularly important for those Chinese Buddhists who were unsettled by the geographical and historical distance that separated them from the India of Shakyamuni's times. The Chinese found Asvaghosa, Nagarjuna, and Aryadeva particularly attractive because while their Indian origins lent them authority, they were, like the Chinese who peered down the well of history at them, living in a time without a Buddha and thus faced a dilemma not so dissimilar from the predicament in which medieval Chinese found themselves. Unlike the arhats, who experienced Shakyamuni's ministry first-hand, and unlike the celestial bodhisattvas, who were not bound by history, these three Indian patriarchs occupied a temporal position between Shakyamuni's India and medieval China. In addition, as Young shows, the Chinese attributed qualities to and highlighted aspects of these Indian patriarchs that were in accord with the values of Chinese literati, Buddhist and otherwise. In so doing, the Chinese rendered the Indian patriarchs familiar and made them into models that Chinese literati could realistically and willingly emulate.This point is related to another theme linking the chapters together: the Chinese Buddhist appropriation of Indian Buddhist and Chinese religious elements so as to claim them as their own. Young notes, however, that even as the patriarchs developed into models to be emulated, they were also transformed into objects of veneration. Besides being scholarly-types who sat around writing doctrinal treatises, Nagarjuna came to be associated with Pure Land thought and practice (and even had his own pure land, according to some,) and was worshipped for his apotropaic powers and ability to provide this-worldly benefits, while Asvaghosa became a silkworm deity and served as the protagonist in myths that provided a Buddhist justification for the killing of silkworms, to give but a few examples. And in a final chapter, Young shows how Buddhists co-opted Chinese conceptions of sanctity and sainthood so as to show that these qualities that were in reality of Chinese provenance were in fact Indian and Buddhist through-and-though.
