Good morning, Ben. I'm Pete Cooper, Director of the Aerospace Village and on behalf of the team, welcome to the Aerospace Village at VirtualDeafCon28. Not quite what we all thought was going to be the plan, but let's face it 2020 is trying to throw as many curveballs at us as possible.  Aviation is really a cornerstone of the global infrastructure and economy. And while passenger safety is an all-time high, the increasing adoption of connected and digitized technologies is exposing aircraft, airport, satellites and the interdependent aerospace ecosystem to new types of risks and threats. And the consequences of asylum security failure in a ground, air or space-based system can impact human life, public safety and even a crisis of confidence in the trustworthiness of air travel, which could undermine economic international security. And as those traditional domains of aviation safety and security increasing overlap, the more we can collaborate to an all-stake holder to ensure that we're going to be safer and sooner together. The Aerospace Village is a non-profit set up and led by a volunteer team of hackers, pilots, engineers, policy advisors who come from both across the public and private sectors. And why have we done this? Because we want to build an inclusive community around the topic of aerospace security. It's by you to get involved in one of the most amazing and growing areas of research that's out there and promote and build aerospace security knowledge and expertise. And through the Aerospace Village, the research community really is inviting everybody, be they industry leaders, researchers, academia, anybody interested in aviation space security, safety and resilience to come in, understand, learn and collaborate together. Because empathy and understanding is going to build common ground. Any sort of acts and words looking to increase division between the communities is going to undermine the efforts that I've worked together. So we're looking to welcome anybody and everybody who's wanting to move aviation space, security, safety and resilience through positive and productive collaboration. This isn't just a cool topic with a huge scope of cool tech. There's loads of research on the topic already, but it's a global topic and it's only becoming bigger and there's so much that is out there that is great to look at and explore. Last year we had the Aviation Village at DEF CON. It was our first year and we had great activity across airports, air traffic management and aircraft and great engagement. It's all massively interconnected and interdependent and we start building out bridges across the community and industry. Since then on the importance of such efforts, there's been some great progress. For example, international initiatives, the UN body for aviation, which is like CAO with 193 member states published late last year there first, cybersecurity strategy for aviation, which specifically called out that states should give adequate protection to good faith researchers. And that's more and more recognition that such research like this is a positive thing and it needs to be encouraged as well as protected. And additionally, there's also industry initiatives. For example, Boeing standing up an industry cyber technical council that actually incorporates the research and hacking community working with the team there. So this year we've evolved into the aerospace village. Aviation is critically dependent on space and the sector is really the aerospace sector. So yet we rolled into space and we've now got a security community that's stretching from earth into orbit. And a big part of that effort this year is to hack that CTF, which is pretty much the coolest CTF that isn't on the planet. And more of that later. It's amazing the support that we've got this year to help put on an amazing event for you over the next three days. And that support stretches from the USAF, DDS, CISA, Boeing, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, both the aviation and space ice acts, TALAS, Cathal Tech University, California Polytechnic, Pentes Partners, I'm the cavalry rapid seven and even astronaut Pam Melroy is here and more. All looking to try and give you as great an experience and learn as much and play with as much as you want over the next three days. We've got everything from topics on aircraft, airports, air traffic management, so air traffic control, aircraft and space, everything from satellites to ground stations. And we've got talks, panels, workshops and CTFs and everything from beginning to advanced. So please find our website at aerospacevillage.org, which has got the schedule and more content about what's on and what we're doing both now for DEFCON as we're going forwards and subscribe to us on YouTube and follow us on Twitter at Secure Aerospace. And finally to really pull together and drive this amazing event it takes an amazing team. And it's an honor to be a part of that amazing team. So when you're please floating around the virtual village, looking out for the village leads and those team members say hi and thanks. They are the most awesome group of people that pull this together. So next up are two guest speakers that are going to help us open up the aerospace village this year. Partnerships are going to be really important to help build out this community and build trust between the hacking and research and community and industry and government. So it's great to have them here speaking at the opening. So the first is CSER director Chris Krebs and this is the conversation that I had with him. Thank you. So welcome everybody to the aerospace village and I'm honored to have director CSER Chris Krebs with us to help with the opening. So good morning Chris. Hey Pete thanks for having me good to be here with you and the aerospace village formerly the aviation village. It's a journey it always is. So you came to the aviation village last year we've got the aerospace village this year and I know that you and the CSER team working really really hard on the aerospace sector. But what's unique do you think about the aerospace sector when it comes to some of the challenges that we're facing across the security perspective? Yeah I think it's representative of almost everything else in the kind of almost the industrial or life safety space. Things that historically have not been connected or relied upon overly networked systems, IT systems that either touch the internet or have passive entry. That's different than it was 10 plus years ago. You know when a plane used to lose the contact with the earth it also lost contact generally speaking with communications channels. So what we're seeing now though is due to various customer demands other navigation requirements that yeah there are pathways into a plane and frankly what's at stake and we're really truly talking about lights here. So you know when I look at both aviation but more broadly aerospace it's not just about the things that are moving around in the air it's the things that are going through the infrastructure itself. You know look at what's happened here in the US over the last year or so it's the establishment of space command. Why? It's because the space-based infrastructure is that critical to just day-to-day operations when you talk about P&T, when you talk about satellite-based communications. It really is a incredibly critical slice of not just our infrastructure but of frankly our economy. So do you think that the threat actors are different to the other sectors or is this still the same sort of threat environment that we're looking at here? Well I do think that there are a couple different things you got to think about with the threat actors. So yes they're absolutely threat actors that are focusing in on this aerospace ecosystem and not that it's been a steady-state thing. I think it's increasing your their understanding the ability and the capability particularly when you talk about functional disruptions. You know the future of warfare is not necessarily going to be on the planes of Europe. The first strike capabilities that you would see launched through against our infrastructure are things we need to be thinking about and that's you know from an elections perspective, election infrastructure perspective. That's what I've been talking about now for years. What was so dramatic or significant about the 2016 interference with the US election was it was almost a Sputnik moment. Take us back to 1957 and the Russia or the Soviets at the time put you know Sputnik in the lower orbit. It wasn't that they got to space first. It was that they had an ICBM. They had this capability to overcome geographic distancing and reach out and touch us. Why was this was 2016 the same is because cyber could be used as that tool to reach out and touch us and destabilize democracy. I think the future again of conflict is going to be using these infrastructure aspects against us to undermine our confidence, undermine our ability or undermine our willingness to do the things that need to be done. And thanks Matt. And so it shows that really that this is touching on pretty much all the themes about trust and resilience across all of the other sectors as well. But for those that are sort of new into the aerospace sector and we've got loads of researchers and hackers that are now really engaging on the topic. What's the key challenge for yourselves on trying to look at the safety and security aspect of it because it's a safety critical industry. So we've got the FAA and also CESAR in the frame as well. Can you try and help explain to the audience out there is actually how does that balance work on working through safety and security with the different partners are out there? So oh wow. So you know they're the technical aspects of it actually getting access to the equipment. This is not kit you can typically just find out they're hanging on eBay. So there are some proprietary systems that you've got to be able to get access to and in work in an environment that's trusted. I think that's the second aspect. Beyond the technical, it's the relationship piece and the trust. This is I think that constant struggle that constant tension between the research community and the owner operators or the vendors is how do you have an effective, a meaningful conversation about security and trust when you add life safety. Same things for the medical device community too. Unfettered access and go piece of equipment that has life safety implications is not something to be toyed with and you want to make sure that you've got open lines of communication. You're not just dropping a ball into the open market without giving the folks that are maintaining those systems the appropriate time to control or to implement. But that also you know when you talk about these proprietary systems there are some DCMA and other issues that really restrict the ability or the access. So we have looked over the last several years to help really foster those conversations to bring the security researcher community together with the vendor community and it's been a journey. You talked about the journey from the aviation village to the aerospace village. It's really been a journey and I am so incredibly you know impressed by a number of the bigger companies out there that you know a year and a half ago weren't particularly interested for instance in participating in the village but now they're meaningful full bore full-throated supporters and members because they get the kind of force multiplier aspect. I'd rather have you on my team been working against me. That sort of mentality has really taken root and we're proud to be a part of that effort to keep driving forward. Thanks and it's that challenge of trying to make sure the dialogues there because the perspectives are different and it feels like trying to fit a really small then diagram together and just getting that common ground in the middle. But what do you think Cesar I mean and partnering with us on the village is great but what do you think we the village and the community and Cesar would want to be doing in the next sort of year I mean how do you think that that can work better across all of those stakeholders and and also as well what message would you be giving to industry across that as well. Yeah so last year for instance we were kind of silent partners helping again facilitate some of the conversations but not a financial supporter not a you know really staffing supporter. We had folks there last year in Vegas this year much more engaged in the planning bringing the partners together working with the information sharing and analysis centers working with the vendors. I think going forward I really want to see you know assuming we and hopefully we get through this this current pandemic where we can get back together physically really would love to see more practical environmental environments that we can bring researchers in to take you know start shooting holes and things figuratively not literally but you know we've been working in our industrial control systems initiatives to develop environmental laboratories so our seller program where we've got control systems environments that that folks can mess around with if they can either conduct research on we can tailor them to specific environments like water but also I think aviation is a great opportunity going forward where we can continue you know it's almost like democratizing security for the control system space and including the aerospace environment you know again it's just making these these partnerships more accessible to everyone and much much more open and again you know the concept here really more than anything is it let's democratize this it does not happen overnight so we've all got to be patient keep plucking away and yeah sometimes various parts of the community raise their voice and get a little frustrated with others but keep working on it and the more we work on it the more trust will build and the more we'll be able to do in the out years and is this the same journey that you've seen across the other sectors as well I mean from what we're seeing across the the research and hacking community and the dialogue that we've got with with industry and regulators and and everybody is that actually this is a journey that has its ups and downs and and it's it's not always an easy path because there are so many different and quite strong perspectives out there yeah but but it it sort of feels like this is a journey that other sectors have gone through as well yeah absolutely and and again I'll make second elections if somebody's got the Chris Krebs bingo card if I don't mention election security like six times in any speech even if it has nothing to do with election security and I failed but election security is a great example so in 2016 when when it first started becoming apparent with the the Russians were trying to do there wasn't an established vibrant community of practice and election security yes there was a security research core team that was looking at these issues but it hadn't really gone mainstream you didn't really have the vendors on board you didn't have the operators of the the systems the practical operators of the system but over the last three or four years we really worked hard to bring all those partners together and again create that vibrant community of practice and so as we look into 2020 election feel much more comfortable much better about where things are the security state of various systems do we are we where we need to go oh hell no I mean there is still work to be done absolutely but by coming together all aspects of the community we have ensured or at least we're working towards that additional level of assurance that we're we're doing the right thing we're doing we're defending democracy and you know again the 2020 work you know should be the most secure election in history so so again you got to break it down like why did we get there like what led or what contributed to the progress we've made over the last four years I kind of you know I've stolen this from General Mattis who who I think adapted his leadership style from General Washington President Washington and it's basically four things listen learn help lead so we're still I think in that learning phase of of leadership and understanding the community in transitioning well I think into the help space but here in the in the aviation aerospace world there's there's opportunities for leadership and so we're looking at those I see what we can do again to to bring this community together bring this practical research and sharing of ideas and information last thing I think I'll mention is you know I think it I think it goes in in just about any other discipline within the security research community is is is vulnerability coordination and how do you do that in a way that gives the defender an opportunity to to close out any gaps before the bad guys have a have a proof of concept we've seen it in the election space we've seen it here you know there there are opportunities to help the defender before managing the the the offensive security side of the offense of the threat actors so to the extent that we can continue to build those partnerships between the security research community and the vendors I think we're going to again we're going to continue advancing towards a defensive advantage position thanks and that touches on so many different areas I think one of the things that you've been talking about there from the democratization of it for the amount of research and hackers that we've got contributing to the village through either breakers yards or buying stuff off the internet and things like that and actually they're doing some really great research on on what they're finding and it's trying to make sure that those pathways exist to be able to talk about some of those findings and go through it because that then sparks a dialogue that actually allows engagement to happen and actually those that progress to be made so yeah so there's loads of lessons across to be perfectly clear here I'm not casting any aspersions or judgment on any part of the community right now whether you're on the vendor side of the security research community I think everybody's got you know they've you know we talk you talk about ups and downs everybody I think has some some has made some good strides forward over the last couple years and we want to continue making those but it's got to be an open conversation it's got to be forward thinking and progressive that's the only way we're going to we're going to get where we need to be yeah and actually and and look at the scale of the challenge I mean you touched upon the elections on if you just sort of sat back said let's just protect the elections I mean that's a massive task if we look across the aerospace sector with everything from airports the air traffic management aspects the aircraft and then space be that ground stations are on the all the on orbit assets the scale of that is huge and it's a massively interdependent sector as well how do we how do we scale this from your perspective looking at this nationally and also internationally with all of the international work you and the team are involved in but how do we how do we make sure that we don't do this in in lily pads of excellence well and that's I think that's that's exactly what we've been doing over the last couple years everybody's got their their normal partners that they work with and and that really became clear to me last year we were going through a process working with the department of commerce trying to understand across the telecommunications sector the ICT folks where really the most risk lies in terms of supply chain vulnerabilities not vulnerabilities but risks really more than anything and what we found is we didn't have a really strong relationship with the satellite satellite community industry and it was an area that that I think they realized as well that they didn't really know what we were doing what our role was so to get to those those elements of scale I think it's got to be these broader conversations talking both within government but also with industry and understanding what the respective lanes in the road are and you know something I've said a couple times now but you know really you know it goes back to that the mantra of you know to improve something you've got to be able to measure it well to really scope the problem you have to understand who the players are and what their roles are and how we can all work together so that's what that's what we've really been focusing on in part through an effort that we we have called the national critical function so it's moving away from a 16 sector based understanding of US critical infrastructure but instead distilling it down to what are the the actual services what are the functions really a systemic risk approach to the economy and then identifying who the the key providers of those services are and in doing so we'll get that better understanding of risk better partnerships built and then better solutions against the the risk that we need to manage and against those risks would you be expecting those critical service providers to be working with the research community and actively engaging with that community as well I yeah I mean look this is this is part of our force multiplier here as defenders the security research community has proven time and time again that it can help I am you know I'm in a similar situation honestly to the security research community a lot of respects all the things we do here at CISA tend to be voluntary public private partnerships and in the security research community working with vendors is is similar that's a partnership so you do that by building trust by understanding what the kind of the needs are and then putting a capability or putting a resource or service against that need and both sides benefit that's how we operate and I think that's again going forward that's that culture that community that that we really look forward to being a part of but also fostering no thanks and I think that everyone's actually I mean the momentum that we're building up on all of the dialogue across the aerospace a security researcher and the head community is is building in a really nice way and actually the engagement we've got from vendors is great as well and I think it's from dialogue such as that for yourselves and the other industry leads really it's making a huge difference and when we're talking about sort of all of the challenges and the scale of it how do we try to sort of not see that necessarily through a work partly through a workforce lens but there's a lot of organizations now that are really throwing a lot of effort now onto securing or putting more bandwidth on their security therefore how do we spin up the workforce on this from a national perspective because getting that getting that crossover between aerospace and cyber security and security is really hard getting those people that can understand both worlds is a challenge right I you know I think I think the ongoing conversations about the gap in cyber security work in those cyber security workforces is ultimately a little bit it's almost nihilistic right it's like we're always going to fail it's secure code and secure deployment and I think you've already touched on it a little bit but you know I think the more opportunities for STEM STEAM or whatever you want to call it at the the K-12 level is going to generate a workforce that's more technically savvy and if we can start folding in rather than bolting cyber security expertise on to the after the fact and start building it in through a through a whether it's dev sec ops or or a security development or software development lifecycle those sorts of approaches I think are what we're going to have to adapt so it's not about building a cyber security workforce the future it's it's a security minded engineering and technical workforce to the future let's let's close out these issues before we even get to them and that's really kind of the mantra that we've got here at the agency it's defend today secure tomorrow what does that mean so today we're dealing with patching yesterday's bonds the stuff that you know whatever company dropped let's learn from all these examples and figure out how for the next generation the next iteration of infrastructure deployments we just don't make things better by design better by deployment let's make our lives a little bit easier and I mean frankly it'd be great if we could put ourselves out of business that's never going to happen but it's not a bad thing to shoot for so I you know I tell you what this is an issue workforce education that that's you know personal to me I got five kids here in DC that that are in the public education system and I just see day in day out the kind of dearth of you know as I see appropriate technical education we've got to overcome that so there are a number of initiatives that we're working here at CISA that are intended and designed to again overcome those shortfalls and it's not going to be about universities it's not going to be about colleges I don't think that's the solution I think again we've got to have better k-12 we have to have better trade school type education at institutes it's again it's it's about putting the tools into the hands of the future workforce and not four-year or post grad programs and last thing I'll say on this front is we also need to be smarter about the way that we bring people into the workforce and in part that's through our hiring practices it's through how we advertise for jobs the Aspen Institute cyber program last summer announced a couple of different you know just different ways to approach hiring one is don't overspec your PDs don't overspec them not everybody needs you know 15 different certifications and 10 years of experience for coding language it's only been around for four uh just be useful as well then yeah I did that was a good one and then it also use um you know ungendered or gender neutral terms uh you know unconscious bias is a thing and how do we get away from that how can we have a more diverse and inclusive workforce that diversity and lack thereof in cybersecurity and technical fields is absolutely a thing and and I think it's on us as leaders and voices in the community to to drive for drive for for change now and then hopefully that'll be the way as we go forward and again it's something that we're seeing through the the village is actually just trying to bring on that that next generation to really get engaged on it and a lot of the the the activity that we've got in the villages is really at that crawl walk type activity to really have that on have that on ramp for um for not necessarily the the um uh any sort of specific demographic for anybody who wants to get involved and start engaging and learning about this sort of stuff um that this is it's an open and engaging community and that's what makes it so great so I you know just to kind of rip on this for a second you know and I think about the way that the federal government here in the U.S. hires and it's you know it's it's a a college degree and three years of experience and you too can qualify for a gs9 position um but that sort of experience I see kids going into college at 18 having six seven years of code coding experience of in some cases development experience certainly of of you know research experience so how do we bring those types and reward them for their experience and recognize that experience and not just say oh you don't have a cssp so you're not qualified it's absolutely wrongheaded and backwards but we have to change that and so there are a few things again that we're doing here in the in the government they're trying to change that there's one probe there's one a hiring regime that we're putting the final touches on the cyber talent management system that'll do just that it'll look for experience practical experience and reward that through the hiring process rather than saying you need that four-year degree and you need three years of you know working in a call set so we've got a couple things I think we can do here it's just a matter of implementation that sounds really great um now before we move on is there anything that um that that from your perspective um we haven't touched upon but you'd want to sort of like pitch out or or um engage with on the community around the aerospace cybersecurity well you know just to kind of do a self-serving promo here uh just on the last piece you know we are hiring at sysa um there are a lot of positions that we have that don't require top secret clearances um the either the secret or the the no no security clearance level I am looking for practitioners I'm looking for people that know the community that can work with the community I think we have a unique offering in a unique place within the federal government that's really the closest thing to the private sector the closest thing to the security research community so check us out at sysa.gov slash careers uh we are always hiring okay well we don't normally do commercial pictures but I think I'll let you have that one um Chris uh many thanks for your time uh thank you for joining us at the kickoff for the aerospace village and uh and hopefully once we get through um COVID then look forward to seeing you again in person thank you very much hey thanks Pete it's great to be with you if I was on room rate or I'd probably give you about a four out of ten you'd get probably five or six for all your badges but your lack of art and any potted plants probably set you back up to you so yeah I'll make sure I kick the cat out so I'll give you a few extra points thanks very much so our next guest speaker is Dr Will Roper and I'm honored to have him here this morning so Dr Will Roper is the assistant secretary of the US Air Force for acquisition technology and logistics um and he and his team along with DDS were great supporters of the village last year and have been again this year as well um as you can see from the efforts that we've got through the hacksat uh CTF and and also the workshops that they've brought along to the village to support us this year um they've they're showing a huge amount of passion in the topic and uh and it's great to have him here so Dr Will Roper Hello everyone and welcome to the aerospace village at DEF CON 28 safe mode I'm Will Roper the head of Air Force and Space Force programs and it is a privilege to be at DEF CON for my second year last year I came and was blown away by the technical talent that DEF CON has in this community of creative inquisitive investigators of all things software driven we brought a live hacking opportunity with one of our F-15 fighters and yes this community was able to get in we left with a lot of great understanding about how to be better in the cyber domain and we're back this year with an amazing opportunity that's going to teach the community and us how to take good cyber practices into space orbiting overhead right now is a satellite that hackers are going to have access to to see if they can apply their skills to get in they're going to have to understand complicated physics how satellites communicate with the ground and how we communicate back in order to overcome this capture the flag challenge but seeing the talent that's here my money is on that they will succeed now how cool is that that winning teams are going to get to have their code run live in space and what we'll learn is how to make this new area of defense and commercial innovation more cyber secure in the long run you know if you back up and you look at how the Air Force engaged we really sat behind our high walls and fence lines and we use secrecy as a way to keep our military systems safe that doesn't make sense in today's world with so much technology happening commercially we've got to get outside of our bases and fence lines and be part of this community that continues to push innovation forward so we are here to share we are here to learn and to make openness and transparency part of our equation for being secure thank you for being here as part of the aerospace village thank you for being here to participate in hacka sat and next year when we're back with the next round of the thing we bring to expose to the community i hope you'll share your thoughts about what opportunity would inspire you to help us learn how to be a better cyber warrior for the 60 billion dollars of airplanes and satellites and cyber technology that we produce each year the cutting edge comes from software everything we learn about making that cutting edge more secure makes our men and women in uniform this nation and our allies and partners and all who work with us safer so we are proud to be part of this community and can't wait to see what's ahead


Right. Fine. Okay. This stuff. Is typically what your test automation code looks like. We've got a few lines of code. And somewhere here, the other side of the world there's a few lines of code that it tests. This example comes from some website I found this morning with a nice page object. That's to wind up the people who are going to talk about alternatives to page objects later on today. In here's a bunch of connectivity code, This is typically millions of lines of code. It's your web browser, it's Selenium web driver, it's the networking code, we've got the GUI code, which has all the glorious JavaScript and CSS and the rest of it, but ultimately what we're testing is this. And typically there's some sort of database running in the background.  Again, apologies to be missing some graphics here. The other perspective I want to give you is that your tests are here, we have some sort of conduit code which essentially connects your code to the outside world. It deals with this graphical user interface. This is what, as users we know, got the aesthetics to it, but ultimately we're treating it as an interface, albeit that most GUI interfaces are implicit interfaces. By that I mean that we don't describe the interfaces in code, we find them and we try and fathom out how we get our code to work with the GUI interface.  I'm not talking about test automation software, I'm talking about applications software or system software, some of you, a few of you. So essentially there's normally lots and lots of code that runs, that finally gets us to the behaviors we want to test, whether it's a login, whether it's putting something in a shopping basket, whatever it is we're trying to achieve, and all our code has to go through this, and of course if there are problems with the interface or the problems with the behavior of the code, the code is likely to be less reliable. Again, apologise for the formatting. I used to work for eBay and this was a fairly typical conversation I would have with any of the test automators pretty much that I was working with in the company. The eBay page, this is a simplified version of it because we're not signed in, but it's in the order of 500 main elements on the home page of eBay. So I'd go to the team and say, what are we testing? What are we testing on the home page? Okay, fine, show me the code. And what we'd actually find is that's all we're testing. We go to the login or the search field, we type something in, we press a search button.


to Adventures in Commercialization. I'm Zoe Heaney and we're here with a great friend of mine, an entertainer, great girl. She's just like doing her best and making sure that she can succeed in the new realm of this new world. She's the new entertainer that we have here. So we have Jane Carter. Jane, tell us a little bit about yourself. Thank you. Hi, I'm Jane Carter.  I'm an aerialist. I also just recently started trying to do some acting and some modeling. I also own an oyster farm and an aerial art studio. I do shows and produce events and stuff like that.  So tell us a little bit about just I know that one thing that's been a theme of our show is making it through COVID. And I know that the entertainment industry, we're going a little bit back. One of our first episodes was about entertainment, owning your art. How do you own your art and how did you make it through COVID? So I'll start with the COVID story first because that one's a little easier to tell and then I'll do the other section. So COVID hit and it was at the point I'm going to call it my career, just so we're just saying. But I was at the point my career with things are just moving forward. I had a whole bunch of shows booked. I had all kinds of things on my plate ready to go. And then all of a sudden it was like the world just shut down. And so now what do you do?  You really enjoy being out there and entertaining people and making art and doing stuff. And now what do you do? Because things are just done. And I'm only going to cry about it. Oh, my gosh. I lost my dream job to COVID. And that's why I really wanted to talk to you about this on the show. And so don't even try to get emotional because you're going to get me emotional. But I had a hold of COVID. I was an event coordinator for a lot of 40,000 people events. I was doing really large events and I lost my job to COVID because it was really hard. And the entertainment industry where we are client-facing, entertainment, introduction to these big realms, it's very difficult. And I also got very emotional because of this type of setback for us. Depressing. All of a sudden your world is over and you don't know what to do. This is your passion and now you can't. So how do you move forward from that and there wasn't a lot of SBA money for event places or people who planned events. It was just you were just taken out at your knees. So it was really challenging actually. And like, what do I do? How do I make this work? And I was like, OK, well, can I even keep the studio open anymore? Like, what's going to happen to the studio? Gyms were closed down. And that's the part that's making me emotional. My students just kept their packages. They just they said, we don't care. We don't care what's going to happen. We're going to keep supporting the studio. And I just immediately transitioned to doing Zoom classes at home. We tried to come up with different things that didn't involve equipment for people who didn't have equipment at home.  People came and picked them up in mass and went home. We did like chair dance online. And if you had a poll, we could teach some pole dance. We did a lot of stretching. And then for me personally, as an entertainer, I actually lucked out a little bit because some of the people that I had performed with started doing DJ Zoom, I guess, like DJ Zoom events. And so they would we log in through Twitch and they would pull the feed in from I forget what the other program was, but they would pull it pull it into their Twitch. And they would just be DJing in the corner and it would be like me in this tiny little box. So I think that was the other part that I really I think made me change how I view things because all the artists were trying to help each other. How do we continue to be creative in a world that doesn't want us right now? Let's take a little bit of a setback and let's look at what you're actually doing. So let's look at your website a little bit if we could bring that up and show she's an aerial artist, she's an acro artist, she's an entertainer, she's an actress, like Jane, you're doing a lot of great things. And I just want to promote you in every way possible. She's nationwide, travels around the entire nation doing amazing things. That's actually how I met you. It was a beautiful event where she was beautifully like body painted up on her little balloon. She was amazing. And I met her and I just realized that she is a brand and she creates her own brand. I'm getting goosebumps even talking about her. I know, this is an emotional great conversation. But there's a lot of people in the whole conversation that we're having right now is around entertainment and owning your art. And also how some people they lost their jobs over COVID. And I want to bring some other people in the future on this show about how they realized they could learn how to sew because they were getting governmental funding and they wanted to make their passion into their project and their project into a career. But you already had that going. Like you really already had something really going for you. But during COVID, we didn't have the realm to do that. We didn't have the audience to do that. We weren't able to be live. So I want to just learn a little bit about how you were able to make it through that year. How did you make it through that year? Yeah, so it was tricky because the events are all gone and we don't know if they're coming back. We don't know when they're coming back. We're not allowed to have big groups of people together. Like what do you do? And so I, like I said, I kind of, with the studio, I was able to continue teaching classes and that helped me remind myself, I'm emotional, that helped me remind myself that this is what I love. Like I don't want to give this up because there was a good month or two where I was like, how do I move forward? Like maybe the world doesn't care about art anymore. There's no money in it. So I started continuing with my classes and then I hooked up with, like I said, some people that did DJ shows on Twitch and I set up a green screen and they just pulled me in so that I could continue performing even though it wasn't live, it was still something. And so that helped a lot. So networking, really internally networking, like your internal network, the people that you're already working with, trying to figure out a new idea for this new age, that's totally great. Like I don't want you to be emotional because trust me, I'm very emotional over COVID and I'm sure a lot of our listeners who are gonna watch this, they also are in that exact same place, it's very difficult. I got very depressed over COVID. 40,000 people working at home is so hard. So that's what this is all about. But what are you doing now? Now you're doing other things, like you're out there. Yeah, so also because of COVID, I still wanted to be creative and I still wanted that like creative spark. And so I started getting back into modeling and I was like, I'm gonna go do some weird stuff.  I made like a peacock costume and took some photos with my birds. Like it was just, so- You breed peacocks, let me just tell everybody, I love her, I have chickens and they're just not as cool as her peacocks. I love my chickens too. Are you taking the little feathers and turning them into like this? That's why I got them. Like, so I actually hatched them during COVID, that was another creative thing that I did. I was like, you know what? I think I want some birds and I'm gonna hatch these peacocks and see if they hatch. And so they're two years old now and they're just starting to get feathers. And I can't wait till I have all the feathers so I can make all kinds of crazy costumes. Look at her, you're a real entrepreneur right here, Jane Carter in the, right now. So I started doing some modeling and I, you know, cause it was, you could do it outside and you were very far away from the photographer. It wasn't, you know, as scary to be around other people. So that helped my socialization fix. And one of the photographers said, you know, you should really do some modeling. And I was like, man, this is just for fun. I'm too old.  You should try.  Hey, they need modeling people for everything. I feel like the first modeling thing I ever did, I was at a race car event in Latin America. And I was going to the bathroom and all of a sudden they're like, hey, you, you want to sign up for this thing? And I was just like, no, I have to be. Definitely not going to happen. But then they called me the next day and I was on the back of buses. I've been on giant billboards. Yeah, so you never know how you're going to be sourced. Yeah.  But for you to pivot like that to understand about what you need to do, so what are you doing now that we're back in the realm? There's, you've been in a couple of events now. What is your new marketing idea? So now I'm doing bigger events. So I started with some small ones pre-COVID and then we actually had a big event planned for the Thanksgiving of 2020 at McMenna was supposed to be our first big huge event. And obviously that didn't happen for months. I was like, well, is it like, I don't know, I don't know. And we eventually just tabled it to the following year when we started. And so now my, my push is to just do bigger events. I started with the small ones. I've got the nice email database list. I've got people who have been coming. And so now I can push to bigger events. And I kind of, I really like them and I hate them at the same time. Like I hate all the logistics and the anxiety and all the people gonna buy tickets and do they like what I'm giving them?  So I just pick, you know, whatever theme I've decided that just, you know, scratching that itch for creativity. I'm like, okay, we're gonna do a show about this. And so what kind of shows do you provide? Can you give me like a little bit of a list of your show? So they're all aerial art shows. We mix them with Brulesque. We mix them with drag queens. I try to make kind of a more aerial centered but a variety shows still. And it's been really nice actually because I can, I'm able to go back to people that I've performed with before because I've known, you know, I've been doing this for a long time. So I know a lot of performers and I can, I try to pick one or two local people whenever we do the shows, the students get to be in them. And then I bring out two big, tall, beautiful drag queens from Portland that I just adore to be the announcers. So it's kind of nice, I get to work with my friends and I get to say, hey, okay, this is the concept. Do you want to get weird or do you have something that fits this idea? But you are traveling nationwide now. So you're not only in Portland, you will go all over the country, right? Yeah, so that was pre-COVID. I did, gosh, I did a lot of traveling pre-COVID. Matter of fact, I was traveling during COVID or right before COVID hit, I had a competition in Ireland and I was on the way back when like the world just shut down. And so I was like, was that my last time ever on stage? You know, I'm never gonna do this again. So now that things are getting back up and moving forward, I'm gonna start traveling a little bit more and I can. I did travel to New York actually and I did a week-long modeling acting convention which was really lovely and I actually got to dance in that. So I got to fill my little child's heart of I wanna be a dancer in New York. Can we look at the website one more time just looking at like the aerial acrobatics that she does? This is how I met her. Jane, you were an inspiration. How beautiful that you have been. And yeah, we made great friendship over your obvious talent. Like it's been fantastic and I love to see your growth. But I mean, just look at her muscles in this video, right? Anybody can see her in this. We know she can. I'm like, I literally bought a little acro yoga thing outside with a little silk so I can try to keep up with you.  I love it. That's the sign bonus that I'm like, I'm always gonna be fit because I'm always working out all the time. But the downside to that is you're sore all the time.  So are you doing online classes now? We do some online classes on top of our in-person. So we still have online for people who don't feel comfortable coming into the studio or I have some students that have moved away and some from a couple of other states that they just log in and it basically is just a class. Like they log in, they see the class behind them and then we treat them as if they're a person in the class. What type of classes are they? Are they aerial classes? Do we have to have equipment for them? So these are all pull classes because aerial equipment is kind of hard to teach online. I've tried taking some online aerial classes and they're just challenging. So these are predominantly pull classes. We've got a couple of like sexy flow where you just kind of roll around on the floor. We had some chair dance for a while but people kept bringing in very random chairs. Like they weren't reading the description about you need a specific type of foldable chair and so we would get rolling chairs and like, you know, step stools and it just wasn't working. Hey, we work from home. We all need to figure it out, right? Like my current chair I'm sitting in is definitely not a good back support but that's probably not something I should be bringing to a sexy chair class.  Hey, we work with what we got, you know? We're all working from home. We're trying to work out. You're helping us. That's not what COVID's taught us. So when you talk about pull classes you're talking about people who have a pull at their house. Yeah, you have to have a pull in order to do them, yeah. And Ariel, are you talking about people who have an outdoor acro? Yeah, so Ariel's were like you would hang something from the ceiling or you would have a rig at home. And do you have like a silk class or? Yeah, so we don't do any of those online. We do have silk classes. We've got rope now. We've got lira, which is the big metal hoop that you hang from the ceiling. And then I've got a bunch of specialty apparatuses. So every now and then I'll do a workshop with like the moon or the anchor. And I just bought a new diamond. Yeah, this girl's amazing.  So yes, but if you don't have this equipment at home there's still an opportunity for you. Jane is touching on all types of at home, Ariel or interest for some of these classes. So how do we find you for something like this? Are you working with an agency or? Yeah, so if you wanna do aero classes or you're looking for some online classes, my studio name's Athena Vertical Dance and it's in Tacoma, Washington. You can do them online. You can do them in person. You can also download the app. It was got her own app. And then I, oh, there's an app too? Awesome. Yeah, just looking at you. You've grown so much since I met you. Oh, gosh. So when sometimes you pick these events, like the event I met you at, so called Pixie party or something. Oh yeah, Pixie does. Best, yes. That was my favorite. Yes, I'm sad I missed it this year. This is in Olympia, Washington. It is a great little mini festival at somebody's house, a farm that they've created. They're really pushing it out. But really great artists that come to it. Really communal artists from the community. I know we're talking to people a lot of times throughout the entire United States at this show. But I'm wondering how do you pick the events that you wanna perform? So a lot of that comes down to which ones are coming towards me? So I really like festivals. It's kind of where I started doing aerials is I transitioned from pole dancing into aerials and I have this lollipop, like a big standalone piece of equipment. It's got a hoop on the top and a pole in the center. And I started doing festivals because you could just set it up wherever. And so I do hunt down festivals and I submit myself all the time for different things. I also use Instagram a lot to find other shows and I'm like, do you need a performer?  So I kind of pick my events that I'm performing at on whether or not I feel like I would be a good fit. And so that kind of goes back to what you're saying, like know your brand, know what you like to do, know who you are and what you want. And don't do things just because you've, someone offered them to you if it's not a good fit for you. So I won't do anything. Are you a great concept, but are you paying to go to these events or are they paying you or just across collaboration? Yeah, they pay me. It just depends on what kind of event it is. Usually they pay me some events. I just really like that there's artists collaborating and I'm like, okay, that sounds awesome. I'll throw my hat in.  Like it's my favorite. So those things I'll hunt down and I'll even do them for free sometimes because I just like them so much. That's a mega cross collaborator. All right, cross collaboration if you're gonna say it. So there's somebody who is there who's offering their art to paint you. There's somebody who's offering their land to be a part of it. There's artists who want you to dance or be there. So it's really just like a super community is what we're talking about.  There's, you know, this time I think they had, they had TV screens in the back that they were putting different types of art on top of as well as the person who's DJing the music and then I'm over in the corner. So my absolute favorite is to have all art melt together and create some sort of magic. And that's how I met you and it was fantastic.  Right next to the person who was a body painting you. So it's fantastic. Your art is absolutely beautiful. And I just wanna know what is your next step? Like what is your next milestone that you're looking for as a woman entrepreneur with your own brand? What do you wanna get to? Well, I think my like my current motivation right now and what I feel like I'm pushing more towards is helping other people get creative.  And so I wanna use all that information and knowledge and contacts to be able to facilitate other people to get out there and be creative because it's tricky in the beginning and you have to really hustle and you have to be willing to just take the punches and that stops people, I think sometimes from pushing forward on stuff that they really wanna do. How did you realize this was gonna be your full-time gig? What did you do before this? And how did you realize this was gonna be like, okay, I'm all in, this is my full-time job. Well, there's a meeting peacocks, you know. I was at random. It's kind of weird, my husband and I owned an internet company and we moved out to Washington. I'll try to keep the short. And we moved out to this like land in the middle of nowhere because we had an internet company, we could and it taint. And so we started selling oysters. We're like, okay, well, what do we do now? We've got these oysters on the beach. And so we started selling oysters. And it was just the two of us. So it was like grimy and dirty and gross and nasty. And all I wanted was something that was gonna make me feel sexy. So I found a pole class in the middle of Remerton and I was like, I just wanna dance. Like I just wanna move my body. And I took the class and it schooled me. I was teaching yoga too at the time. And I was like, I'm fit, this'll be easy. It was so hard and it was so challenging. I was like, I'm in. And so from there, like I took class for probably a couple of years and I just fell into the studio, the teacher that owned it before me was leaving and I came home in tears and I told my husband, I was like, I don't know what I'm gonna do. I've just lost the one thing that makes me happy. Like this, and what, like, what do I do now? Like I can't, you know, I can't drive to Seattle. That's too far. Like what am I gonna do? And he was like, well, maybe we can buy it. And I was like, we can buy it. You know, just like so distraught. And so she ended up selling it to me and that just kind of pushed me forward into I'm all in at this point. And then somebody asked me to perform the first year I bought the studio and I was like, yeah, you know what, yeah. I kind of went, let me see what that's like. And then I was in like, I was making costumes and I was just creative with just everywhere. And I was like, yes, this is me and this is what I wanna do. And did she, during the story, did she leave it because of COVID or was this prior? No, this was prior, this was 2014. So she was just moving away to Florida. So just open to opportunity. So that's what we have to tell our audience right now. Just being open to opportunity and being a yes person. I don't know if anybody ever saw the movie Yes Man. Love it. I believe no gets you nowhere. Yes is the best, you know? And sometimes you'd probably say no, but saying yes will allow you these types of opportunities and if your partner's like promoting you and you're ready to be there, then just go for it. And if you have a skill that they're looking for and then all of a sudden, now all of a sudden you're entertaining and it turns, now you're acting. You're looking into this thing. It's like a big snowball into what your greatness and your brand is. But it's also like, do things that scare you. Like just because it's scary doesn't mean that it won't work out. You know, push through that a little bit because there's been a lot of times and even now when I perform sometimes, I'm like, I don't know if I should be here. I'm not good enough for this thing. And there's that fear of like, what do I do? And sometimes that you just push through it and then all this magic happens. Right? It's not a what a shoulda coulda. It's what a shoulda did it. Yeah. I love that.  Yeah, so I just started, like I said, I just started during COVID with the modeling and the acting. And I went to New York at this thing called IMTA, which is like, I think it stands for International Model Acting and Talent. And again, it's that do something that scares you. Like this terrifies me.  Like maybe people will like me. I'm strange.  I'm gonna go do this thing. And each day you had to audition for different people with different types of things. Some of them were terribly terrifying for me. Like I had to do an improv. Like they're doing improv thing. I'm like, I don't, there's no lines. What do I do? So from there, like from there you get like different acting gigs and stuff like that. I did get an agency out of it. And I've done a couple of tiny little things here and there. But the cool part about it is that because of COVID, this is one of the good things that came out of COVID, because of COVID, all the interviews are now on Zoom. So you don't have to go anywhere. You just turn your Zoom on, you get a nice clear background and a good microphone and you can audition and you're not traveling so much because that wouldn't work out for my life. And that's a lot more expensive. So we look at the, thank you for saying that because I want to talk to people about the glass being half full, not half empty from COVID. It was very difficult for people over COVID to make their passions into their careers and also make money off of it. But there's also the glass half full that like the things that you're pursuing could be pursued virtually. So it's so great to be able to see that like this is being able to be successful and work for some people. So I'm so happy that you were able to do that. So you are successful. I'm seeing you progress even more every day because I follow you on social media. I follow you too. This is Jane Carter. She's absolutely amazing. If you want to hire her, she goes nationwide for any of her acro. She is amazing. I'm telling you, she's one of the most talented people I've ever seen in aerial arts for sure. Anybody in Hawaii, if you want some like great... Yeah, I would love to see you. Yeah, center to Hawaii first. I'm sure she would love that. She's in Washington, so she's very close. But if you had any other advice for women entrepreneurs specifically and then maybe entrepreneurs in general, what advice would you give? I think for entrepreneurs in general, let's do the thing that terrifies you. Push through that place where you're like, I'm scared of failure. Am I going to fail? You're never going to know if you're going to fail unless you try. And if you don't try, the answer is always no. So always try to push forward through that. In regards to female entrepreneurs, you've got to learn to get a thick skin because the world will try to push you around. So figure out what it is that you want. What is special about you? What is something about you that no one else has? And that's your brand. And then you push that forward and find things that are aligned with that brand. Yeah, exactly like you mentioned earlier. Network, find the people that are aligned with your vision, with your production, and then just promote yourself, whether it's through Instagram or just like reaching out to them, like be a voice for your own brand. Yeah, and join groups that follow your talent. And join groups of people that do the same thing that you do because you're never going to know who you're making contacts with until later on, like, I mean, like you, like we had such a good time at Tixie Dust. I know we did, yes. And I was just there helping another friend with their booth to help Vend because she needed an extra hand and I was right around the corner.  And it was obviously fantastic. And I've just watched you grow and I've seen that we met prior to COVID. I've watched you become an entire brand by yourself and now you're an actress. So... Try it. So you're doing great. And so that's why I really wanted to bring you on this show is just to show other people that you can create a brand around yourself. Doesn't have to be with a company. You can make it through COVID just with your talent. And so entertainment is now and we're getting back into that realm. So if you are an entertainer and you're watching this, you can definitely make a business, make some money, turn your passion into a career. Jane Carter, thank you so much for being on this show. And everybody else, thank you for watching. I'm Veterans and Commercialization. If you wanna learn how to turn your passion into a career and make some money, follow us. Thank you so much.

Well, the public statements from people like Carlos Gown have been 2020. I think that for the motorways and similar limited access highways, that kind of date is reasonably doable. We've got most of the technology already working in cars and we'll step forward piece by piece. Probably the biggest challenge is actually building out the interface with the driver in the way that we make sure the driver continues to pay attention so that if there's an issue, the car can turn control back to the driver, but still allow the driver to do other productive things while the car is in the automated mode. Vehicle IT can have a major impact in the CO2 admission reduction effort, particularly by collecting the actual CO2 admissions from the cars as they're really driven instead of as they're done in the lab. Well, the network car has been slowly but surely been built up over the last 15 years. We are now moving forward with 4G interconnection with the ability to provide information to the drivers, the ability to give them warnings for safety systems. All of these things together will be a major reduction in vehicle accidents and driving pleasure.

Site 81 was originally conceived as an expeditionary site to study apparent anomalous activity in and around southern Indiana's limestone mines, specifically those relating to three different mining companies, United Limestone, Indiana Limestone Corporation, and the B.G. Hoadley Mining Group. The first anomalous activity documented as Site 81 was SCP-2812, which expanded Site 81's grass past the limestone mines and into anomalous activity within small towns throughout the region. The site was officially founded on July 16, 1946, and was headed by Senior Foundation Researcher Dr. Oliver Wrights. The first research center was situated in an abandoned elementary school adjacent to the nearby Indiana University, from which many of the site's initial research staff were recruited. In March of 1947, Dr. Ivan Darko was transferred from Site 19 to serve as Site 81's assistant director. Between 1946 and 1954, research conducted as Site 81 primarily dealt with the aforementioned groups of interest and anomalous geological activity near the site. However, a string of unexplained events in nearby towns drew the attention of Foundation Research teams at Site 19, eager to move to the area to conduct their research but lacking a substantial local facility in which to do so. The site was moved to a larger facility in nearby Elletsville. After this move, additional research teams were assigned to Site 81, as well as the site's first permanent mobile task force, Mobile Task Force Epsilon-13, Manifest Destiny. In the 1970s, several anomalous artifacts were discovered near Site 81, and while protocol required that they be moved to a Foundation site for long-term containment. Renovations at Site 19 had temporarily reduced that site's ability to take on new artifacts. Due to this in 1979, an inquest was made into the feasibility of creating a secure permanent facility to host these local anomalies. One that could host both a research center and several containment wings. In January of 1980, the Foundation Facilities Committee voted on three potential sites. Site 79 in Plainville, Illinois, Site 28 in Bowling Green, Kentucky, and Site 81 in Bloomington, Indiana. By a vote of 137, Site 81 was selected as the newest Foundation containment facility. Site 81 assets almost immediately moved into the recently completed Bloomington Municipal Water Treatment Facility, which had been constructed as part of an agreement with embedded Foundation assets in the local government. This facility, which included several basement levels and on-site diesel generators, was quickly renovated to suit the growing needs of Site 81. In April of 1983, the previous site was demolished, and the current location was considered fully operational. Shortly afterwards, Assistant Site Director Darko transferred away from Site 81, and Dr. Zachary Johnson was appointed to the position. In August 17, 1985, Director Oliver Wright retired from his position within the Foundation, and temporary responsibility to the site was handed to Assistant Site Director Johnson. After conducting several Canada interviews, Dr. Gene Atkis, the Assistant Director of Research at Site 19 and head of the Foundation's Classification Committee, was appointed to the position of Site Director. Dr. Johnson stayed on staff throughout the transition, eventually taking the post of Assistant Director of Research. Dr. Hamilton Guides was appointed to the position of Assistant Site Director. In October of 1991, the offices of the Foundation's Classification Committee were moved to the Administrative Wing of Site 81. Following this, additional renovations to the site were approved, which would create three additional subterranean wings beneath Lake Monroe. Work on these renovations concluded in November of 1995. When Dr. Guides transferred to Site 17 in 1999, Dr. Hollister Cox, previously the head of research at Site 64, was appointed to Assistant Site Director. In 2004, a Mobile Task Force deployment facility was established to the south of the main Site 81 campus.
