Vor 80 Jahren, am 6. August 1945, warf ein Flugzeug der US Air Force die Atombombe „Little Boy“ über Hiroshima ab. Mehr als 100.000 Menschen starben durch die Explosion und deren Folgen. Das Gedenken an dieses Ereignis bleibt bedeutend in einer Zeit, in der in Europa erneut Krieg herrscht. Arata Osada, damals Rektor der Universität Hiroshima, sammelte in „Kinder aus Hiroshima“ über 2.000 Aufsätze von Kindern und Jugendlichen, die den Angriff überlebt hatten. Auf Grundlage dieser Texte haben Jürgen Geers und Christian Gebert ein Dokumentarhörspiel geschaffen. Die Erinnerungen sind erschütternd. Gerade die ungeschönten kindlichen Perspektiven verleihen ihnen besondere Eindringlichkeit. Nach schriftlichen Zeugnissen japanischer Kinder, herausgegeben von Arata Osada und Hermann Vinke Bearbeitung: Jürgen Geers und Christian Gebert Regie: Christian Gebert Mit: Oliver Bomsdorf, Barbara Brodt, Hans Helmut Dickow, Tobias Eggert, Annette Füssel, Agathe Corsula u.v.a. hr und Sender Freies Berlin 1985 | ca. 88 Min.

We speak with a company that provides guest WiFi solutions and interactive maps, and an airport seeking to use the technology to enhance the customer experience. In the news, a study of drone risks to aircraft, evasive action to avoid a B-52, route changes at Avelo and Breeze, and the possibility of continued relaxation of TSA security checkpoint rules. Guests Purple Chief Revenue Officer Shawn Bossons. Shaun Bossons is the Chief Revenue Officer at Purple, a company that provides tools for businesses to turn their physical venues into intelligent spaces. Purple helps airports (and others) enhance visitor experiences, optimize staff efficiency, and drive additional revenue with indoor location services. MidAmerica/St. Louis Airport Director Darren James. Photo by Tim Vizer for MAA. Darren James is the Airport Director of the MidAmerica St. Louis Airport (BLV). MidAmerica is utilizing the airport WiFi offered by Purple to help engage its customers and bring value to the travel experience. Shawn and Darren talk about traveler engagement, what that means, and how it has changed over time in the context of the airport experience. They explain how airport WiFi can be used to provide targeted communication that helps the traveler navigate the airport safely and reduce anxiety. Because personal information is always an important topic in a system that collects data, we look at how it is protected in the context of airport WiFi. Consumers are generally willing to share information if they know it is secure and they receive some value in return. At the same time, collecting too much information adds friction, and with too much friction, customers will disconnect. Purple was founded because getting connected was sometimes difficult while traveling. MidAmerica is using Purple's airport WiFi offering to engage travelers and improve their experience at the airport. Aviation News Embry-Riddle study warns of drone risks to aircraft The Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University study was conducted for the FAA. Researchers looked at data from 6,037 documented flights with altitude information and found that at least 573 flew to an altitude of between 400 and 500 feet, while 781 flew to 500 feet or above. The ceiling established by the FAA for drone flights is 400 feet. The study utilized sensors placed across the country that collected data from Remote  Identification signals, which the FAA has required registered drones to transmit since 2023. Pilot Of Delta Air Flight Performs ‘Aggressive Maneuver' To Avoid Mid-Air Collision With B-52 Bomber Delta Air Lines flight DL-3788, an Embraer 175 operated by SkyWest, was flying between Minneapolis and Minot International Airport in North Dakota. Minot is also a US Air Force base for B-52 bombers. During the approach to the airport, the pilot executed an “aggressive maneuver” to avoid a B-52 on a convergent path. Minot Airport has no radar. Air traffic control visually ensures there is sufficient separation between aircraft on approach to landing. Avelo to ground West Coast flights, says decision won't affect Tweed or Bradley Avelo Airlines has announced that it is closing its West Coast flight network by the end of the year. That includes its base at Hollywood Burbank Airport and all destinations to and from California, Las Vegas, Oregon, Montana, and Washington state. Avelo started operations in 2021 at Burbank. Financial difficulties and insufficient profitability are cited as reasons for the shutdown.

//The Wire//2300Z July 22, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: VIOLENCE CONTINUES IN SYRIA. MICROSOFT SOFTWARE VULNERABILITY RESULTS IN CYBERATTACKS ON SHAREPOINT USERS. AIRMAN KILLED DUE TO MALFUNCTIONING SERVICE PISTOL, INVESTIGATION UNDERWAY TO DETERMINE CAUSATION.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: The civil war in Syria continues as before, with various tribes continuing to consolidate gains in their respective areas. The Jolani government remains largely centered in Damascus, and most of the violence continues in Suwayda.Analyst Comment: Most western nations are still pretending that a ceasefire exists and is in effect, when in practice there is no such cessation of hostilities as tribal violence and random executions of civilians are becoming more common on all sides. An American citizen aligned with the Druze was executed a few days ago, drawing concerns of what the international response will be to the escalating violence throughout the region. So far, there hasn't been much interest from the international community to get involved in Syria again, with the exception of Israel and Turkey (who are the biggest external nationstates involved in the conflict so far). However, this is Syria and things happen quickly here.-HomeFront-USA: Microsoft has faced scrutiny for their response to a recent software vulnerability that was recently announced. Over the weekend Microsoft revealed the discovery of a critical vulnerability within the Sharepoint ecosystem, which was discovered after thousands of government and enterprise-level customers experienced significant cyberattacks (mostly from well-known Chinese hacking groups).Analyst Comment: This morning, it became known that this vulnerability was actually already known, and was identified by Trend Micro (a cybersecurity firm) which found the exploit back on July 8th during a hacking competition. Microsoft allegedly issued software fixes to patch the vulnerability, however a few days ago malign actors were observed utilizing the exploit anyway, confirming that Microsoft's efforts to patch this Sharepoint bug were ineffective.Washington D.C. - The Department of the Air Force has launched an investigation into the M18 service pistol following the death of a service member due to safety concerns. The US Air Force will cease all issuance of the M18 platform while the investigation is ongoing, following several other government agencies which have already halted the use of this weapon system due to safety concerns.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: For those who are not aware of the implications of the M18 scandal, this scandal has been building for some time and opinions are sharply divided. Sig Sauer has been the center of much controversy surrounding the P320 (the civilian designation of the M18 service pistol) after multiple reports emerged from owners regarding the pistol not being drop-safe. Most modern handguns incorporate some sort of "drop safety" into their design, which prevents the pistol from firing if the gun is dropped. After admitting there was a problem regarding the drop safety on early P320's, Sig issued a recall and allegedly fixed the issue. However, after some time, an entirely separate series of issues began to be reported, namely that in some cases, the pistol would discharge on it's own at random while holstered. When these reports came out, Sig Sauer did everything in their power to silence these concerns, and several Public Relations efforts were undertaken to shame and gaslight P320 owners into thinking that the problems were entirely the result of the end user and not a design flaw. However, despite the months of denial, problems remained.Several law enforcement agencies halted the use of the M18 a few months ago after very-well-documented cases confirmed that sometimes the M18 will fire a chambered round while hol

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Kijuan Amey, Chief Motivation Officer of Amey Motivation LLC. He highlights his extraordinary journey living his dream of working in the Air Force to an accident that changed him forever. He shares how redefining his life through resilience, faith, and the power of vulnerability, gave him what he needed to thrive again.   In today's episode, we discuss: Reframe vulnerability as a source of strength. Embrace open self-expression and honesty about your struggles. This can foster healing, help you confront past pain, and empower both yourself and others. Acknowledge and address mental health openly. Recognize the reality of emotional struggles, such as depression after trauma. Seeking support and being transparent about difficulties can reduce stigma and provide relief. Remind yourself that setbacks do not define you. Internalize the mantra, “my situation does not define who I am.” Use this belief to separate your identity from your circumstances and maintain hope for your future. Appreciate the hidden lessons in adversity. Understand that challenges during childhood or unexpected setbacks build resilience and self-reliance. Apply this mindset to reframe today's difficulties as opportunities for growth. RESOURCES: Guest Bio From serving in the US Air Force to becoming a CEO, mentor, and bestselling author, Kijuan's journey has been nothing short of remarkable. Born and raised in Durham, NC, he's a true testament to the power of determination and perseverance.  - Serving 10 years in the Air Force, advancing to the rank of Staff Sergeant.  - Former Vice President for the Carolina regional group of the Blinded Veterans Association.  - Mentor and ambassador for the Air Force Wounded Warriors program.  - A talented drummer with 25+ years of experience.  -On-stage actor. - Author of the bestseller, "Don't Focus on Why Me."  In a life-altering moment on May 5th, 2017, he lost his eyesight in a motorcycle accident. But as Kijuan says, "I may have lost my sight, but I did not lose my vision."  Now, Kijuan is a motivating force, empowering others to overcome odds and achieve success. No matter the audience or location, he's ready for the task, from captivating crowds of 1,500 to one-on-one sessions, he is now the chief motivational officer of Amey Motivation LLC.   Website/Social Links: ♦      LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/kijuan-amey-783889121?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_app   ♦      Instagram:     https://www.instagram.com/kijuanamey?igsh=NmZtNHRqbW1meWNy&utm_source=qr   ♦      Facebook:     https://www.facebook.com/share/1Bq7zzDeV5/?mibextid=wwXIfr   Belinda's Bio: Belinda Pruyne is a renowned Leadership Advisor, Executive Coach, Consultant, and Keynote Speaker recognized for her ability to transform executives, professionals, and small business owners into highly respected, influential leaders.

We're dipping into the archives for one of our most popular episodes! Andy Lopata revisits his fascinating conversation with Dr. Beam Maue, co-founder of AFWERX, the innovation mission within the US Air Force. How do you build a forward-thinking, agile community within one of the world's most hierarchical organisations? Dr. Brian shares the incredible story of how AFWERX grew from just five people into an award-winning ecosystem that connected with over 700 new small businesses, many of whom had never worked with the government before. This episode is a masterclass in leading change from within. Dr. Brian explains his philosophy of "going to war with the army you've got," empowering the team you have rather than wishing for another. He shares powerful stories, from a pig farmer's innovative soap to navigating Pentagon red tape, illustrating how to manage the environment for innovation, not the innovation itself. Tune in to learn how to foster experimentation, build momentum through short-term wins, and lead with a "faeces umbrella" to protect your team. Key Takeaways Lead the Team You Have: You must work with the people and resources available, not the ones you wish you had. The key is to identify and play to their existing strengths. Manage the Environment, Not the Innovation: A leader's role isn't to direct every innovative step but to create a safe environment where experimentation, learning, and even small-scale failures are encouraged. Empower Your Experts: Trust the experts on your team. Instead of dictating their goals, give them the space to define the strategy and tell you what's needed for success. Stories and Short-Term Wins Build Momentum: Data is forgettable, but stories stick. Highlight short-term wins to prove the value of your mission, build belief, and attract support from sceptical stakeholders. Flow Like Water Around Bureaucracy: When facing bureaucratic obstacles, seek out allies who interpret rules with an "if it's not illegal" mindset. Don't waste energy on pockets of resistance; pivot to where there is less friction. Actionable Insights What can a pig farmer's special soap teach a high-tech military organisation about the true source of innovation? How can you transform a team that's been told “there are no additional personnel” into a globally-ranked best place to work for innovators? What does it mean to be a "faeces umbrella" for your team, and why is it one of a leader's most critical (and unglamorous) roles? Tune in to learn more.   SELECTED LINKS FROM THE EPISODE Connect with Andy Lopata: Website | Instagram | LinkedIn | X/Twitter YouTube Connect with Daniela Landher: LinkedIn The Financial Times Guide to Mentoring Episode 121 Featuring Dr. Beam  

Dass Militärs mit Mathematikern zusammenarbeiten, kommt in der Geschichte öfter vor — so auch in den 1940er-Jahren: Weil das US-Militär sehr viele Verluste bei seiner Luftwaffe verzeichnet, wendet sich die US Air Force an Wissenschaftler, darunter auch an den rumänisch-US-amerikanischen Statistiker Abraham Wald. Es geht um die Frage: Wie soll die US-Luftwaffe ihre Flieger am besten verstärken, damit diese widerstandsfähiger werden? Nun könnte man meinen, die Air Force müsse einfach analysieren, wo die zurückgekehrten Flugzeuge am häufigsten getroffen wurden — und genau an den Stellen die Maschinen verstärken. Doch das ist ein Irrglaube, ein Denkfehler infolge des sogenannten Survivorship Bias.

Bryan Hummel is a big-time water nerd. Specializing in nature-based solutions to watershed and land management issues, he has brought his expertise to the US Environmental Protection Agency, the US Air Force, industry, and agriculture. The key to preventing flooding, he says, is to restore degraded land so that the soil becomes like a sponge, absorbing water and recharging subterranean aquifers––and in the process preventing flooding and contributing to the success of farming and ranching businesses, which thrive with abundant water resources. His techniques include beaver and bison biomimicry and permaculture techniques that slow, spread, and sink water into the soil instead of letting it run off.

Enjoyed this episode or the podcast in general? Send me a text message:The Eagle has landed – again. But this time, it's been completely reborn for the modern battlefield. While stealth fighters dominate headlines, the US Air Force is making a strategic pivot by investing billions in the F-15EX Eagle II, a fighter with roots dating back to 1972 that's now reshaping aerial combat doctrine.Far from a nostalgic throwback, the Eagle II represents something revolutionary: balancing cutting-edge technology with immediate battlefield readiness. With its AN/APG-82 AESA radar, sophisticated electronic warfare suite, and unprecedented capacity to carry up to 22 air-to-air missiles (triple what an F-35 can hold internally), this platform isn't trying to replace stealth – it's complementing it in ways that rewrite the playbook for modern air warfare.The strategy unfolds like this: stealth fighters slip in first, neutralizing air defenses like ninjas in the night. Then the Eagle II arrives with overwhelming firepower, finishing the fight when surprise is no longer an option. This high-low mix addresses critical realities that pure stealth evangelists often overlook – maintenance downtime, payload limitations, and the harsh truth that perfect systems delivered tomorrow can't defend against threats emerging today. As peer adversaries develop counter-stealth technologies and deploy more aircraft, quantity and availability suddenly matter just as much as invisibility.What's most fascinating is how this 50-year-old airframe, now equipped with fly-by-wire controls, open architecture software, and next-generation sensors, signals a profound shift in Pentagon thinking. The Eagle II reminds us that air power isn't just about technological superiority – it's about showing up armed, aware, and absolutely lethal when and where it counts. Subscribe now for more deep dives into the aircraft and strategies shaping tomorrow's battlefield, and share your thoughts in the comments below. Is the Eagle II a brilliant strategic pivot or a stopgap measure? I want to hear from the pilots, engineers, and aviation enthusiasts who understand what it means to keep American air power dominant in an increasingly contested sky.Support the showTo help support this podcast and become a PilotPhotog ProCast member: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1555784/supportIf you enjoy this episode, subscribe to this podcast, you can find links to most podcast streaming services here: PilotPhotog Podcast (buzzsprout.com) Sign up for the free weekly newsletter Hangar Flyingwith Tog here: https://hangarflyingwithtog.com You can check out my YouTube channel for many videos on fighter planes here: https://youtube.com/c/PilotPhotog If you'd like to support this podcast via Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PilotPhotog And finally, you can follow me on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/pilotphotog

Ronda Holman is The Airway Champion. She is the Co-Founder of Airway Coach a revolutionary approach to helping humans learn to help themselves breathe better while they sleep by developing protocols and systems to be preformed daily. She is a 25 year, US Airforce trained, dental assistant who has spent her entire career looking at airway disorders and their negative effects in the mouth.She has dedicated the last  5 years helping patients and strangers understand the negative affects of oral breathing on their oral health. Ronda runs the airway protocol for her general dental practice helping patients rule out sleep apnea and find custom solutions to breathe better while they sleep.Ronda not only has a passion to help people discovered the root cause to so many non-communicable diseases, but she grew up with an undiagnosed airway disorder herself. After connecting the signs to the symptoms it is her mission to help others learn to see the signs so they can advocate for themselves. Many people do not understand the bio mechanics a breathing. Nor do they understand the detrimental effects over breathing/mouth breathing has on sleep quality. Ronda had extraction retraction orthodontics completed when she was 12 years old. She was diagnosed with upper airway resistance syndrome when she was 37 years old. Ronda then made a choice to either live with struggling to breathe during sleep every night and continue to watch her oral health decline or make a change to improve her airway health. She shares her passion every day to help people understand the difference between sleep (surviving) and quality sleep (thriving) and its inter-relationship between airway health and breathing.Here is the link to all of the tools that have helped other humans breathe better while they sleep. https://msha.ke/airwaycoachSHOWNOTES:

In this episode, host Scotty Sandow sits down with two remarkable athletes whose stories push the boundaries of resilience and possibility: Adam Popp and Dave Mackey. Popp, a retired US Air Force veteran and above-knee amputee, made history as the first above-knee amputee to finish a 100-mile ultramarathon. This June, he's taking on the iconic Western States 100 with none other than Dave Mackey by his side. Mackey's story is legendary. A former Ultrarunner of the Year (UROY), course record holder and longtime elite competitor, Dave lost his leg below the knee after a devastating mountain running accident. His comeback is the stuff of ultrarunning lore—gritty, grounded and deeply inspiring. In this conversation, they talk about what it takes to train and compete as adaptive athletes, how they've redefined success, and the deep connection forged through trail and adversity.

R. Craig Bealmear, CFO of Oklo (OKLO), discusses their deal with the U.S. Air Force to power a nuclear reactor in Alaska. He explains how building in a cold climate changes their plans, and the expanded uses for their energy. “It almost feels like we have unconstrained demand,” he says – supply is the biggest issue. Oklo is also building another facility in Idaho and is “getting ready” for another further down the road. “We're getting close to putting revenue on the income statement.”======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

What does it take to shake up one of the largest and most complex organizations in the world from the inside out? On this episode of the Innovation Storytellers Show, I invite you to buckle up for a conversation that dives straight into the heart of how the US Air Force is building a homegrown culture of audacious innovation through its Blue Horizons Fellowship. I'm joined by Colonel Daniel Ruttenber and Dr. Eric Keels, two brilliant minds guiding this unique think-and-do tank based at the Air War College. Blue Horizons is where selected majors and lieutenant colonels step out of their daily missions and into a ten-month sprint to tackle strategic challenges that could redefine the future of national security.  What makes it so remarkable is that these officers aren't handed polished blueprints to test. Instead, they begin by hunting down the most significant, thorniest problems no one else has solved yet, then race to turn raw ideas into tangible prototypes that push the boundaries of what's possible in modern warfare and defense technology. Colonel Ruttenber lifts the curtain on how this fellowship for battle-hardened innovators has evolved from an academic elective into a crucible for rapid prototyping and strategy shaping that senior leaders now rely on for bold insights.  Eric shares how diverse perspectives, strategic forecasting, and a healthy risk appetite come together to give fellows the courage to imagine everything from bacteria-built runways to Google Maps-style decision support for mission commanders. Together, they unpack why breaking through bureaucratic roadblocks and perfecting the art of storytelling is just as vital as building breakthrough tech when you're challenging an institution designed to prioritize certainty over the experiment. Suppose you've ever wondered what real innovation under pressure looks like and how a tight-knit cohort can turn constraints into rocket fuel. In that case, this episode delivers an inside look at a program rewriting the playbook on defense innovation.  We also explore how private companies, startups, and universities can collaborate with Blue Horizons, bringing fresh thinking to the Air Force's most challenging missions while learning what it truly means to build resilience, speed, and adaptability. After listening, I'd love to hear your thoughts. How can leaders inside large organizations borrow lessons from Blue Horizons to encourage more risk-taking, faster learning, and better storytelling to turn big ideas into real-world impact? Join the conversation and share what you think.

When I was serving in Afghanistan, it was always mission first. You have to get the “scared” out of your mind. I told myself that God put me here for a reason. -Erica Horan By popular demand, we're reissuing a handful of our most popular interviews. Meet Boston Medflight www.bostonmedflight.org nurse and US Air Force veteran, Erica Horan. Recorded 5 years ago in a hangar at a municipal airport just outside of Boston, this interview tells the story of a former black belt champion driven to serve and succeed. A veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom, Erica became a commissioned officer in the Air Force as a critical care nurse shortly after earning her nursing degree. She saw every kind of injury on the front lines in Afghanistan, and speaks candidly about her own struggles with depression and the need for mental health support for our troops. Says Erica: “I counted the days until I got home, but when I got here, I didn't know what to do with myself. I wanted to go back. I didn't receive mental health support, and had a hard time adjusting.” Born to care for others, Erica has been a key player on Boston Medflight's four medical teams for 7 years now and is incredibly proud of the people she works with. “We take care of very sick people as quickly as possible. Every day is different, and we work 12-hour shifts. You don't know what you're gonna get. We all have to keep learning at this job because medicine is changing every day.” Married to a surgeon who commutes from a military hospital in California back to his family in the Boston area every week, the couple has 3 children they are devoted to. Says Erica: “If I can raise three good human beings who are respectful, inclusive, and God-fearing, then I've made it. That's success to me. “ From war stories to love stories, patriotism and purpose, this interview has it all.

What if the real secret to great leadership isn't found in strategy or skill, but in the strength of your character? This conversation with Dane Deutsch explores how character forms the true foundation of leadership, shaped by his own family values, military service, and years of leading diverse teams.  Through stories from the Air Force and his own experience as a CEO, Dane reveals why caring for people and building trust matter more than any title or technique. His insights show that whether you're coaching athletes, running a business, or guiding a community, authentic leadership always begins with character. Dane also introduces the “tricycle effect,” illustrating how qualities like trustworthiness, respect, and responsibility steer both personal and professional growth. From practical tools for self-coaching to the power of empathy and humility, you'll come away inspired to strengthen your own character skills, build genuine connections, and lead with heart in every area of life. Dane was a Commander in the US Air Force and first applied character skills in the military. He's the CEO of LMDC Academy, which stands for Leadership Management and Development in Character. Over the past 40 years, he's coached and trained athletes, businesses, and teams. Dane owned a cybersecurity company and sold it in 2020. He's also taught classes on cybersecurity at the university level. He and his wife own a gymnastics training center for pre-k to high school students, and character is the #1 skill they teach, followed by leadership, and then technical skills.
