Podcasts about war effort

Hello to you listening in North Platte, Nebraska!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit mire) for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.Maybe like me you could use a bit of good news right  about now. What if you could find the “best America there ever was?” Best-selling author and award-winning journalist Bob Greene found it in a small town, North Platte, Nebraska. As the story goes: During World War II, American soldiers from every city and walk of life rolled through North Platte, Nebraska, on troop trains en route to their ultimate destinations in Europe and the Pacific. What happened next?Prompted by one woman's idea this tiny town of 12,000 people transformed its modest railroad depot into the North Platte Canteen. Every day of the year, every day of the war years the Canteen - staffed and funded entirely by local volunteers - was open from five A.M. until the last troop train pulled away a little after midnight. In a time of coupons, shortages, and doing without that comes with war this community provided welcoming words, support, baskets of produce, fresh-baked goods, homemade sandwiches, magazines, books, bottles of milk, cauldrons of coffee, and treats to more than six millions GIs by the time the war ended four years later.Think about it. At a time of national adversity, crisis and deprivation because everything was going to the troops and the war effort, ordinary people pulled together to honor their country's brave sons by giving from the heart and their kitchens, their fields and dairies. Interviews with some of the volunteers and servicemen tell a love story of small-town generosity because it was something that they could do.Question: Yes, these times are perilous; but so was World War II. We might feel like we're fighting a war on our own soil for the first time since the Civil War. But we are not lost when we choose to summon the great expanse of hope that is the human heart. If 12,000 ordinary persons could care for six million GIs, what is in our power to do? Where is the next “best America there ever was?”Click to access book: Once Upon a Town - The Miracle of the North Platte Canteen by Bob GreeneYou're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

About the Lecture: Following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, analysts and observers around the world were shocked and surprised that Ukraine did not fall in a matter of days or weeks. Instead people across the country resisted with both military and civilian means, halting the Russian advance. Surveys indicate that over 80% of the Ukrainian population contributed to the war effort in some way (e.g. Onuch et al 2022, 2023), suggesting that Ukrainian civilians have made a crucial, if hard-to-quantify, contribution to Ukraine's continued resistance. However, scholarship on civilian wartime engagement more broadly tends to focus on decisions to join the military or to flee following the onset of conflict – meaning that our understanding of how and why civilians mobilise in non-combatant roles is limited. Drawing on recent fieldwork conducted in Ukraine, this talk discusses the diverse roles Ukrainian civilians are playing in the war effort and what motivates this engagement, particularly in parts of Ukraine most acutely impacted by the war. The discussion will also contextualize this engagement in Ukraine's longer history of civilian mobilization, based upon Emma's doctoral research into mass mobilization in Ukraine prior to 2022. About the Speaker: Emma Mateo is a postdoctoral fellow at New York University's Jordan Center for the Advanced Study of Russia. She studies political behaviour in times of crisis, such as mass protest and war, with a regional focus on eastern Europe, particularly Ukraine and Belarus. Her current monograph project explores civilian responses to conflict, focusing on the case of Ukrainian mobilisation during the Russo-Ukrainian war. Drawing upon fieldwork in Ukraine and systematic analysis of local and social media data, the project investigates the actions and motivations of ordinary Ukrainians in different local contexts who engaged in the war effort as civilians. Emma also researches subnational mobilisation during mass protest, mapping and analysing local protests Belarus and Ukraine for her doctoral research. Emma's interest in the intersection of protest, civil society, media and technology has led her to make innovative use of social media data, such as Telegram Messenger. Her work has been published in Post-Soviet Affairs and Social Media + Society, and featured at major conferences and expert workshops in the US, Canada, UK, and EU. She has previously worked at Columbia University as a Postdoctoral Fellow at The Harriman Institute, and Adjunct Lecturer in Sociology. Emma holds a PhD in Sociology (2022) and MPhil in Russian and East European Studies (2018) from the University of Oxford, and a BA in Modern Languages (Russian, French and Ukrainian) from the University of Cambridge.

The bedrock of the legal profession is a commitment to upholding the rule of law. Unfortunately, as Stanford Law researchers discover in the complex world of international sanctions, lawyers can often facilitate non-compliance and evasion.It's been two years since Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine. And yet, businesses are still skirting sanctions imposed on Russia. As Erik Jensen, director of the Rule of Law Program at Stanford Law School, and law students Sarah Manney and Kyrylo Korol explore in this episode of Stanford Legal, lawyers could be playing a critical role in enabling Russian Oligarchs' evasive maneuvers.With hosts Rich Ford and Pam Karlan, the three guests explore the intricate relationship between legal practice and international sanctions, discussing insights from their research, the ethical responsibilities of lawyers, and potential solutions for safeguarding the rule of law.Connect:Episode Transcripts >>> Stanford Legal Podcast WebsiteStanford Legal Podcast >>> LinkedIn PageRich Ford >>>  Twitter/XPam Karlan >>> Stanford Law School PageStanford Law School >>> Twitter/XStanford  Law Magazine >>> Twitter/XLinks:Erik Jensen >>> Stanford Law School Page(00:00:00) Chapter 1: Introduction and OverviewKyrylo Korol discusses the responsibility of lawyers to uphold democracy and the impact of their actions on the profession.

As Ukraine mounts a defense against Russia's invasion, rifts have begun to surface between Kyiv and its Western allies over the path forward. Disagreements range from the tactical use of donated weapons to deeper strategic divides on issues like corruption and NATO membership. With tensions intensifying amid mounting battlefield setbacks, it is crucial that strong lines of communication remain open to align priorities and present a unified front.

The real liquid solid for adults turned into Silly Putty for the kid inside all of us. Natural rubber was hard to get and Silly Putty was the mistake that created an empire. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients. So here's one of those. [Irock Plumbing Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders podcast, Dave Young here alongside Stephen Simple. Stephen just whispered the name of today's topic into my ear, and it's one that I've certainly heard of. It's one that I have vast amounts of experience with as a child. We're going to find out if they're even still around because they must be, they built an empire. I think I know a little bit of the back story. It's sort of an accidental product called Silly Putty. Stephen Semple: Yes, Silly Putty. To give you an idea of how big Silly Putty is, there's been 350 million eggs sold, which would account to about 4,500 tons of Silly Putty in the world. It's in the National Toy Hall of Fame, and it's in the Smithsonian Institute. Dave Young: One of my favorite things to do with Silly Putty is probably not something that today's kids can do much with it because nobody buys newspapers anymore, but used to be able to smash the Silly Putty onto the comic strips. It would lift a little bit of the ink off, and that would be kind of fun. Stephen Semple: You could stretch it. Dave Young: Yeah. Kind of a goofy product. There's no legit purpose for it other than just to play with it in your hands. Stephen Semple: Invention of Silly Putty is disputed, actually. Some say Earl Warrick from Dow Corning, some say that was the inventor. Most including Crayola, who are now the owners of Silly Putty attribute it to James Wright at GE Labs in New Haven, Connecticut. So most say it was James Wright. So we're going to go with it being James Wright. Any case, whichever one was the inventor, it was invented in 1943 and today it's one of the best-selling toys in the world. As we're talking about, it's in the National Toy Hall of Fame, in the Smithsonian Institute. Dave Young: So 1943 puts it right in the middle of World War II, and we're fighting to stop the Axis and the Nazi powers. If I recall, if I heard a story once, it was like they were trying to invent something that was part of the war effort. Stephen Semple: Yes. In fact, that's exactly what it was. Again, just give you an idea of Peter Hodgson is the person who ran with Silly Putty and popularized it. In 1976, when he died, his estate was worth $140 million, which is probably in today's dollars 600 million. He did really well. He did really well by this. You're right. It was a year after he passed away that it was sold to Crayola. Back to GE Labs in 1941, Japan invades the rubber producing countries at the beginning of World War II creating all sorts of shortages. If you take a look at the countries that they invaded at the beginning, they were all basically countries that were the source of natural rubber because at the time, rubber came from the sap of trees, rubber was used in tires and rafts and aircraft products, and they were all made from natural rubber. That was the only rubber that was around. So basically companies like GE with the war effort were looking for a substitute. They were trying to find a substitution for natural rubber. James Wright was working on the problem, and he came up with a compound that was soft, sticky, stretchable. What made it unusual is that it can be compressed and it's a solid that can be cut, but when it's balled up, it bounces.

Toldos - Our War Effort

A Colorado judge who donated to an anti-Trump January 6th PAC is now overseeing President Trump's January 6th case in the state to determine whether or not he can appear on the ballot there - go figure. Plus, lefties say kids can't consent to getting tattoos because they're permanent, but they can consent to puberty blockers, which are just as permanent. And finally, we're sending Ukraine billions of dollars we don't have, even as top officials there tell TIME magazine that the money is being stolen like there's no tomorrow and that the war effort is doomed.Guests:Matt Palumbo | Author, 'Fact-Checking the Fact-Checkers: How the Left Hijacked and Weaponized the Fact-Checking Industry'Andrea Kaye | Host, The Andrea Kaye ShowBill Pascoe | Spokesperson, Tea Party Patriots ActionJohn Rossomando | National Security Researcher

Thousands of Israelis and Palestinians have lost their lives since Hamas gunmen staged their surprise raid on Oct. 7. In the wake of the attack, Israel’s defense forces have called up more than 350,000 reservists, about 4% of its population. The country’s booming tech industry could be affected more than most, given that so many younger Israelis work in the sector. Fast Company contributing writer Issie Lapowsky recently interviewed several of them, including an Israeli tech lawyer named Yitzy Hammer.

In this episode, Ken Campbell talks about two Hollywood movies that came out in 1943 and their impact on the American war effort whether that be through increased sales of War Bonds or through recruiting for the military. The movies - "This is the Army" and "Destination Tokyo" - both feature language and some choices that we immediately recognize as being offensive and in poor taste, but as Ken explains this was very much "of the time" and it gives insight into American life in 1943, including the less appealing parts of American life at that time. We do not recommend watching these movies, at least not in their entirety, but below is the clip Ken mentions of Kate Smith singing "God Bless America" in "This is the Army".

Welcome to the Inner Edison Podcast, where we dive deep into stories of resilience, personal growth, and overcoming challenges. In this episode, we have the honor of hearing from the incredible Dave Albin, who shares his journey of transformation through Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and his mission to help veterans. Dave opens up about his dark moments, feeling suicidal before finding solace and support in AA. With gratitude in his heart, he speaks about the love and camaraderie he received from his fellow AA members. Dave proudly celebrates his recent milestone of 35 years of sobriety, a testament to his strength and commitment. Raised by a single mother who played an integral role in the war effort, Dave's upbringing wasn't easy. However, he developed entrepreneurial skills early on, starting small businesses and displaying a tenacious spirit. Unfortunately, his life took a downward spiral due to addiction, leading to failed relationships and a desperate attempt to end it all. But Dave's path took a transformative turn when he reached out to Alcoholics Anonymous and found support from a person named Lauren. Through AA meetings and the guidance of his fellow members, Dave began his journey to recovery. It was during this time that he came across Tony Robbins, initially skeptical of his messages but ultimately finding inspiration in Robbins' teachings. Dave took a leap of faith and invested in Robbins' Personal Power program, which ignited his passion for personal growth. Today, he combines his military background with his newfound knowledge to create a rite of passage called the "do no Harm firewalk" for veterans. As a firm believer in the power of reaching out for help, Dave highlights the urgency in addressing the high rate of veteran suicides. During our conversation, Dave challenges our audience to let go of excuses and change their stories to create a better life. Drawing inspiration from individuals like blind climber Eric Weinmeyer and the daring acts he has learned, Dave encourages us to push through our self-imposed limitations and embrace our potential. In addition to his work with veterans, Dave is a member of Rotary and is actively involved in efforts to support and uplift this community. With plans to donate $25,000 to multiple veteran organizations through Rotary, Dave is determined to make a difference in the lives of those who have served our country. Join us in this powerful conversation as Dave Albin shares his incredible journey of resilience, overcoming addiction, and bringing together companies and organizations to save veterans' lives.

Today we learn about the experiences of the ~brave American women~ who joined the military & went into manufacturing work during the second world war. They outpaced their male counterparts as engineers and factory workers, died on the battlefield tending to wounded soldiers, and generally kicked ass all around. We Can Do It! Or something.

In February 2022, Andrey Liscovich, a Ukrainian native, was living a peaceful life in San Francisco, working on a new startup after graduating with his PhD from Harvard University and spending three years as the CEO of Uber Works. The war in Ukraine would change all of that. After witnessing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's resistance in the wake of Russia's invasion, Liscovich felt compelled to help his country. Drawing on his expertise, he co-founded the Ukraine Defense Fund, a supply chain network that sources key items—including food, clothing, and protective equipment—for Ukrainian volunteers fighting in the war. On this episode of The Eastern Front, Giselle, Dalibor, and Iulia are fortunate enough to speak with Liscovich about the genesis of his project, how it has supported the war effort in Ukraine, and the work that's still left to be done in order for Ukraine to come out victorious.

Russia has been attacking Ukraine overtly since 2014, but even before that has sought to influence politics in Ukraine through propaganda and Information warfare, corrupt agents, and assets. But this war turned into a full-scale invasion in February 2022. Of course, Western technology and weaponry has played an important role in helping Ukrainians to resist, but also home-grown technology, techniques of resistance and strong ‘self-organising' initiatives have all helped turn the tide from being an underdog, to become a capable and formidable opponent. Today I am speaking with Denys Gurak, an innovator and technology entrepreneur, about how Ukraine is becoming a tech powerhouse, and how this is contributing to their resistance and victory. Denys Gurak has worked with both industrial juggernauts and small technology ventures. His specializations are in biotech, aerospace, and security industries. Denys Gurak is Chief Executive Officer of A.D.A.M. (Advanced Development of Additive Manufacturing). He has a passion for developing world changing tech ventures but is also highly active in several think tanks and NGOs. He is also interested in geopolitics and accomplished at public speaking.
