ly in ICU for two weeks with COVID three weeks three weeks you might be on a ventilator for a week or more like there's it's it's it's weeks of sickness that you're taking up a bed in the ICU and that's which is also something that hadn't been telegraphed so so our projections early on were really off because we were talking about a two-week period of time you would get it and you'd over but the recovery time after that two weeks is still weeks that can be tacked on to that so that's why like there's a ventilator shortage not just because of the number of ventilators that were on hand but because the disease requires people to be on these ventilators apparently for much longer than anything else that we've seen yeah Paul Riley is saying he is using sick time living at home with mom who is 86 I work at a warehouse with 100 employees that's oh good stay home Paul well done yeah stay home protect your mom that's really rough and oh a good choice a literate ink uh much earlier mentioned that uh is it her mom had contracted uh I'm I'm sorry to hear that but I hope uh I hope she's doing okay yeah that's not good yeah I hope that works I hope that turns out okay yeah yeah okay a lot of us are a lot of us are gonna know people points out COVID incubation is 10 days flu is two days and actually as soon as like you can have the flu for a couple days and you actually stop being contagious it's kind of a very limited window yeah contagious actually contagious yeah whereas this seems to persist in its contagious ability because I don't know the it's not sporulation what's it called when the lysation when the when you sneeze out the virus uh when it's virus is virus by the way it's very simple the spray a bunch of virus droplets out well but virus is basically a protein and a little bit of little wind up of DNA and it goes in and what it does is it gets into a cell and it convinces the cells normal protein production machinery to produce it because basically it's just a protein it's basically just a protein it's all it is and and some little packet of DNA that does how to make that protein it goes in and says here cell you you make proteins all the time make this protein and so the cell makes this protein again and again and again and again because the cell uses proteins all the time it makes proteins every function in the human body is run by a protein enzyme thing so it goes in the cell and this the cell makes this protein protein protein protein which turns out to be this virus and at some point there's so many of these little proteins that are this virus that the cell can't contain it and it basically explodes and now you have the emergence or it buds it out as if it was a regular protein and is just sending it out it can license where it explodes or it can just keep sending out as it would a regular protein through normal cellular function and that's how the protein that got into the cell has now multiplied by your body doing all of the work and then you sneeze and all of these new versions of this virus are now out in the world looking for new hosts and new cells they're going to make it make it make it make it make it this is like one of the most efficient forms of reproduction that exists on this planet I can't think of it's pretty what's an animal what's an animal that has thousands upon thousands of babies bees bees very good example so this virus is like bees no but it's not at all no it's way more efficient so that's that's part of the that's part of the problem and I guess if a flu is only contagious for a little while it might be using a less efficient uh less efficient at getting your body to do the cellular or the protein translation reproduction of itself but this COVID is doing a tremendously fantastically efficient job at it and it's not deadly enough so if this was much more deadly it wouldn't be a big as big of a pandemic if it was much less contagious it wouldn't be everybody it's got a real sweet spot like if you were like you weren't like that like this is like yeah the latency the asymptomatic shedding and and transfer and then yeah and then the fact that about 80 percent of people who get it are mild symptoms or no symptoms yes which might also mild symptoms means lots of different things yeah I think that that is mild symptoms are they're they're on their back at home like fever like trouble breathing some of my I think the 20 the hospital the 20 percent that's severe I think that means in the hospital so that 80 percent of mild symptoms is a very wide like your yeah a wide spectrum so it can be worse than any flu you've ever had but you're still at home because you're still at home because it's not it's not bad enough to be at the hospital it's I mean the ems worker that I live with he's he's talking about right now they're they're they have to be so careful about who gets into the emergency room yeah because you know there's lots of people they would have taken before they're not taking now there's they're not taking now take some ibuprofen and go home like call your doctor tomorrow and have a phone appointment we're not taking care of you here wow this is a very Goldilocks virus yeah it is it's getting right in that sweet spot of knew something would eventually Ed was asking in the chat room can't kids spread the flu as much as any other group in response to the idea of opening the schools back up in Denmark look look kids spread all sorts of things they're little vectors yeah but that's kind of the point the Denmark has has reached such a low capacity in their hospitals that they're kind of encouraging an increased transmission rate because the goal is to get to over 50% of the population that has got and survived it so that they can have herd immunity this is well they better I mean they what I what I think is I I I'm just gonna keep coming back to not just not just the financial privilege but also health privilege that's putting that's potentially putting a lot of older generation and immune compromised people at unnecessary risk of death because you don't know where the virus could just where if if they kept the schools closed that person those people might not get it until the vaccine is out because they're taking precautions but you put the kids back in school and suddenly the spread is higher I mean it's so we'll see Denmark Denmark is a wonderfully small country they're doing a great experiment they have national health care all the stuff they fine let them run their experiment I'm glad that's not happening here our schools were just closed until the end of the school year we're out we're all so fighting so once you get to a non-productive age they know the cliff that they shove you off into the north sea which actually is not a cliff because there's no elevation fall into the cliff Dagmar go into the cliff Dagmar jump in the boat we will set it on fire you will go in the fiery boat of off into Valhalla so I wanted to check because I wasn't sure if it was old news but um as of a couple days ago there's still stories about this we're not sure he'd heard immunity is fully a thing with this because there's there's lots of questions about whether people who've been infected actually have the ability to neutralize proteins reinfection might be possible and so it's also because we don't know who's actually been infected that's part of it we don't know we don't know anything but that's that's why seriously we're like on snow right now moving towards herd immunity when we don't know if reinfection is possible it's really really dangerous yep because herd immunity is nothing if you can be reinfected yep and it's also apparently like long scar tissue issues and this sort of thing that for those who have survived it that could then last a lifetime so I'm a little incredulous about this if they have evidence that none of the young people who've been exposed have had these negative then then really if you're a young person might be beneficial to be exposed now before you get four or five years older and then that's true but if you are a young person in your 30s or 40s and you have lung damage that's going to affect your health for the rest of your life I mean like six seven eight nine ten I'm trying this is like okay but this is really dangerous too because this is calling right under the conversation that people are having that's absolutely wrong about coronavirus parties like chicken pox parties which is a terrible terrible terrible idea do not do that um but this is going to go back to privilege away from that and some people have gotten really sick from having coronavirus parties already yeah people are doing this right but okay so here's here's do not do not fast forward the herd immunity herd immunity I can't speak anymore wait a second just wait a second put a pause hang on a second while you're saying this pause this I mean it's let's have the conversation that we're not that we're only having bits and pieces other places let's have it now if you're one of the first people to get coronavirus you have hospitals support you have respirator access you have doctors monitoring you also have limited you also have limited treatments you have doctors who don't know what they're up against and you know and right yeah if you're in New York right now and your fever isn't over 104 you're told to go home so I mean the point is it's all tough decisions it's all you shouldn't be shy of at least discussing that's all we can discuss but I'm saying yeah my opinion is that based on what what we know of this virus and what we I think it is rash to push forward unheard immunity because it's going to lead to a lot of prematurely unnecessary deaths and it's going to lead to a lot of deaths in very particular communities which is part of the problem that's what we're currently seeing right is that certain and it might and it might even others might prevent a lot more later that's that's the thing you have to weigh you can you it's it's easy to say I'm completely you know again the economy was fake to begin with it didn't matter seriously almost all of the money is in the hands of a few people we can just invent new money give it to the rest they'll end up with it again anyway it's it's how it's set up doesn't matter just do a rolling summer break for each county separately where everyone will get like three weeks out in the world and then they'll go back in it'll be fun we could do like a day you know or like when we have the droughts and you have like who can water their lawn on an odd day or an even day and you know you could do like crash pickups are on Tuesday so if you have a trash pickup Tuesday you can go out on Tuesdays and explore the town like you can just do it based on some sort of arbitrary share in limited communities dystopian very hey oh yeah I saw your profile and I was just wondering are you a Tuesday tribe oh you're Wednesday yeah no okay some people you'll never meet because you're the wrong day oh my goodness do we have any I really love the house but the trash pickup was on a Thursday and I just can't do anything on a Thursday Blair I loved your um your mini soad oh yeah yeah it was great I was uh I was doing stuff for work and I was like have this microphone set up I'm gonna do something so are we almost done should I go take a break and then come back no no no it's 11 o'clock yeah okay I need to say good night Blair because I'm homeschooling my child now oh boy and working and it's a lot of things my home school just started zoom meetings with my kids yeah they're like back in school now yeah say good night Blair good night Blair say good night Justin good night Justin good night good night good night you guys good night everyone thank you for joining us I hope to see you here again next week for more science with this week in science we'll be back in a week read the newsletter if you haven't seen it in your inbox look in your spam box for it and I'll be publishing this episode for the podcast thank you


Hello and welcome to the session. This is Professor Farhad in which we would look at an example that illustrates the perpetual versus a periodic inventory system. As an accountant student, as a CPA candidate, you want to know the difference between those two inventory methods. So the best way to illustrate it, although I explained it in the prior recording, is to work an example. And we're going to look at Adam Beverage Company, ABC Company, purchase the soft drinks from producers and sell them to retailer. The beginning inventory for Adam Company was $110,000 on hand. This is the beginning inventory. That means this is the inventory that we had from the prior period. There's no journal entry to make at this point. There's nothing we do now, but this is just no, this is beginning inventory. Just make a note of it. Purchases of inventory on account totaled $600,000 with the terms 2 slash 10 and 30. Adam purchases $600,000 worth of inventory. The terms are, if they paid within 10 days, they will get 3%. Otherwise, the full amount is due in 30 days. So they purchase them on credit. So let's start by journalizing the purchase. Under a perpetual inventory system, we will debit inventory, increasing inventory, and we will credit accounts payable. Under the periodic inventory system, what we do is we debit purchases rather than inventory, and we increase accounts payable. So notice the difference. In a perpetual, we update the inventory automatically under purchase, under the periodic inventory system, what we're going to do, we're going to park our purchases in a purchase account, then eventually we'll transfer them to inventory at the end of the period. ABC paid $15,000 for freight cost. Well, this is transportation in freight cost, it means they purchased, they paid to transport dose merchandise. Well, under a perpetual inventory system, we will debit inventory for $15,000. Simply put, under the perpetual inventory system, we will update our inventory cost by debiting inventory and we credit cash. Under the periodic inventory system, we don't update our inventory automatically, what we do is we debit an account called freight end. Eventually freight end will be closed to the inventory and the cost of goods sold. But for now we'll keep the freight end separately, and obviously we paid cash. Cash will go down. This is the journal entry under both perpetual and periodic. Merchandise inventory with a cost of $10,000 was returned to suppliers for credit. Simply put, $10,000 of the merchandise, we did not like, something wrong with it, whatever the reason is, we returned it. What is the journal entry under perpetual and periodic? Under perpetual, it's the opposite of the purchase. Notice we're going to debit account spable credit inventory, and guess what? Under the periodic, it's also the opposite of a purchase. Debit account spable credit purchase return. However, notice quite... So the entry under perpetual inventory, it's basically exact opposite of the purchase. Debit account spable credit inventory. Under the periodic inventory system, we're going to reduce account spable, but we are going to credit an account called a purchase return. Now, the purchase return is a contra purchase. It's going to reduce our purchases. Nevertheless, we keep track of the purchase return separately. So notice what's happened. Think of the perpetual inventory system where it's keeping track of our inventory cost constantly. Now, all purchases on account were paid within the discount period. The discount period was within 10 days, and we're going to get 3% off. How much do we owe the supplier? Well, we originally purchased $600,000 worth of merchandise. Then we returned $10,000. Remember, you only take the discount based on what's left, which is $590,000. We're going to take $590,000. You can multiply it by .97, or we're going to multiply it by .03 first, .03, and that's going to give us a discount of $17,700. Now, you could also take $590,000. You can take $590,000 multiplied by .97. It means we have to pay 97% of the bill, and that's going to give us $590,000 times .97, and that's going to give us, we have to pay $572,300, which is $17,000 less than the amount. However, you would like to compute the discount, it's up to you, but the point is you could just compute the discount. We need both numbers. Why do we need both numbers? Because under the inventory system, we're going to have to pay cash $572,300. We're going to credit cash. That's why if you take $590 times .97, it's going to give you the cash amount. How much do you have to pay? Now, we're going to debit accounts payable for the full amount. Although we only paid $572,300, however, we paid our bill. Why? Because the promise is if we pay within 10 days, our bill is basically zeroed out. Our bill is $500, the remaining bill is $590,000. Now, the difference obviously is the discount. Under the perpetual inventory system, automatically we credit the discount. What does that mean? It means we reduce the cost of our inventory. Our inventory cost is reduced. Under a periodic inventory system, the cash paid is the same. Also, you're going to debit the accounts payable for $590,000. We started with $600,000. We started with $600,000, reduced it by $10,000. We're down to $590,000. Now, we're reduced it by $590,000. It's down to zero. However, we're going to keep track of purchase discounts separately. Purchase discount is $17,700. So, those are the purchases. What we're going to do next, we're going to go ahead and look at the sales transaction. What happened when we sell those inventory and how do we compute cost of goods sold? Now, before we look at the next section, I have a public announcement from my company. For-Hat Accounting Lectures is a supplemental educational tool that's going to help you with your CPA exam preparation as well as your accounting courses. My CPA material is aligned with your CPA review course such as Becker, Roger, Wiley, Gleam, Myles. My accounting courses are aligned with your accounting courses broken down by chapter and topics. My resources consist of lectures, multiple choice questions, true-false questions, as well as exercises. Go ahead. Start your free trial today. No obligation. No credit card required. So, let's take a look at sales. Sales on account totaled $800,000. Let's process the sales and let's, since we are giving sales and cost of goods sold, let's do it together. And the cost of the soft drink sold was $527,300. Under a perpetual inventory system, we're going to debit account receivable credit sales for the sales amount. We're going to debit cost of goods sold and credit inventory for the cost that's giving to us. Basically, the cost is giving. Under a periodic inventory system, we're going to debit account receivable credit sales revenue. No entry for cost of goods sold. Why? Because for the periodic inventory system, when do you know your cost of goods sold? When you compute your ending inventory, you will back into cost of goods sold. But let me also show you. You need to be familiar with the formula on computing cost of goods sold anyway. That's important for you. Think about it. What happened in this company? We started with $100,000 and $10,000 in beginning inventory. Then we purchased $600 worth of merchandise. Then we incurred. Let me see how much freight ended we incurred. We incurred $15,000 of freight in. $15,000 of freight in. Then we returned $10,000 of merchandise. So, this is the goods that was available for sale. Let me go ahead and compute this. $110,000 plus $600,000. One more time. $110,000. We also got the discount. $17,700 minus $17,700. $110,000, which is the beginning inventory, plus purchases of $600,000 plus the freight in minus the return of $10,000 minus the discount of $17,700. That's going to give us basically goods available for sale. $6,000, $97,300. Basically, this part here, which is purchases plus the freight minus the discount minus the return. This is called net purchases.  How do we come up with ending inventory? Ending inventory is counted. The company will count ending inventory, and we subtract ending inventory from this minus $170,000. That's going to give us $5,7300. Notice the number is giving, but I wanted to show you how we came up with this number. Next, we are going to look at the journal entry. Simply put, for my perpetual inventory system, there is no entry to make at the end of the period because the cost of goods sold was already computed, and ending inventory, it's already automatically computed as well because we kept track of our ending inventory. Now, when it comes to the periodic inventory system, we have to take this, all this information that I just showed you and put it in a journal entry. Well, the first thing is we have the beginning inventory. Remember the beginning inventory? Let me change colors now to kind of indicate I'm going to the periodic. The beginning inventory was $110,000. The beginning inventory is gone. Therefore, we credit beginning inventory, inventory beginning. Then purchases. Purchases is a temporary account. We get root of purchases because purchases will have to end up being inventory. We credit purchases. We also credit freight because freight has to go and go into because freight eventually closed into inventory. Credit freight. Now, remember we counted the inventory and now the new inventory is $170. We debit inventory $170. So notice, we removed the old inventory. This is the old number. Let me use a different color because this is blue. We removed. This is the old. We removed the old. $110 is removed and we debited the new. Okay, debited the new. Also, our purchase return needs to be gone. It has a credit balance. We need to debit because all these accounts, let me show you all these accounts. Let me go back here. Purchases, freight in, purchase return, purchase discounts. They need to be gone at the end of the year. They are temporary account. And this is what I'm doing now. So I, I removed the purchases. I also have to remove the purchase discount of $17,700. And at this point, cost of goods sold becomes a plug and the plug that I need is $527,300. And let me double check. Make sure my debit is equal to my credits. $110 plus $600 plus $15 equal to $725. Now $725 minus $527.3 minus $170 minus $10 minus $177 also $725. Therefore, I made sure my journal entry equal to each other. But let me just point out one more thing for you. Just the differences. Notice what we did. Just kind of show you the differences is this, the main differences under a perpetual inventory system. Everything is posted to inventory automatically. Whatever we have a purchase, a return, a purchase discount versus under a periodic inventory system, we have more accounts to keep track of purchase discount, purchase return, freight and purchases. But all these accounts eventually get get closed into inventory, which eventually turn into cost of goods sold, so on and so forth. And this is what we saw in this example. So knowing the difference between perpetual and periodic inventory system is important, whether you are a student or a CPA candidate. Don't shortchange yourself. Invest in yourself. Invest in your career. Good luck. Study hard. And of course, stay safe.

Welcome everybody to part 2 of our tutorial showing how to create an input and output table to track your key business activities using Excel 2016. If you missed part 1, we suggest you watch it first so you can fully understand and appreciate part 2. Now it's time for you to create some magic by using the SUMIF formula we taught in our Burn to Learn video number 15. When you do that, your input and output transactions appear in the main products inventory in real time automatically. Here's how you do it. Go to cell C4 of the main products inventory and type equal sign SUMIF with an open parenthesis. Now type the word inputs followed by an open bracket. This tells Excel where to find the input information. Now type the word code followed by a closed bracket and a comma. This tells Excel where to find the code information. Now select the cell A4 and Excel will write it as open bracket at sign code closed bracket followed by a comma. Now type the word inputs followed by an open bracket. Then type the word quantity followed by a closed bracket which tells Excel where to find the amounts to sum up. Now type a closed parenthesis, press enter and see the magic. Excel automatically makes the sum of all of the inputs with the same code. Was that helpful or what? Let us know at the end of this video. Now repeat the same process with the outputs column. Now scroll over to the balance column where you're going to use the basic Excel math calculation of subtraction. You will do this to determine the actual inventory balance. When you finish watching this video, you can check out burn to learn video number three to refresh yourself on how to do many basic Excel math calculations. So now here's the process to do subtraction. Now press enter and your answer is the stock balance in real time. Now when you record future stock movements, the inventory will be calculated automatically on the product table. Now you have the whole tutorial on how to create and fill in input and output tables using Excel 2016. You can now use this powerful tool to make your own magic when determining the status of key business activities like tracking warehouse inventories in real time.

Hello, and welcome to the Dave Trumbo show presented by Buffalo Wildlings. I'm Greg Roy, shown by Stevenson Beach, volleyball head coach Dave Trumbo. Coach, you've had a couple weeks of practice and you head down to the National Small College Championships this weekend in Florida. And right now you're going through some, we're discussing off air, some challenge matches to determine the lineup for this weekend. Yeah, it's been interesting after we got back from Florida we had the snow. Yeah. So that if it was ever going to snow that was the right time for us because we missed a week. We just had conditioning but it's okay. So we were out there last week and this week and as you mentioned we started the challenge matches. We have seven pairs. Yeah. And for the small college national championship there is no exhibition. So we're only taking five and we try between every tournament to have challenges that keeps everybody engaged because that means our sevens can move up. That means our sixes can move up. It means everybody can move up. So since we have seven pairs we have to start with odd challenges. So yesterday we had the odds, the sevens challenges, the sixes, the five, the fours, threes, the twos, and one doesn't have to have a challenge. Today's the evens. So we're starting to set our lineup. Right now it's interesting. It could be the same, it could be different. So we had, we still have some things not solidified but it's game, it's matches in practice that are just like games. You know that the nerves, everything, so much rides on it which is difficult but what better way to decide what an athlete would want to control their own destiny and that's what they're able to do. The coach is not choosing. Yeah. Yeah I know it's one of those things that you know sometimes we talk about in team sports where you know a kid might not be happy to play in time, things like that. Well this is, this is go out and prove it. Go out on the court and earn your spot in the lineup and there's no, it's it's completely objective because it's whoever wins the match. Yep. Nobody can blame it on anybody. That dog on coach won't play me. Yeah. But yeah we had a match yesterday when 20, it went 24-22. Yeah. It's one of the sets so it's very close and but we'll get a chance to do this again. And we could reshuffle the deck and so you know they continue to get better and that's just helps us improve our depth from number one to number seven with everybody really engaged in practicing to get better. Yeah it obviously means that nobody can get complacent either no hey I'm gonna be in the lineup no matter what. So you know especially you know it'd be tough I think to fall from one or two but you know three four five certainly a couple challenges and be on the lineup. Yes that's that's true like the ones twos and threes were safe yeah this time around but yesterday the fives challenged the fours. Had the fours lost they would have been an odd and then they could have been challenged by the sixes because it would have been an even challenge day. That did not happen. The fours did solidify their spot in a really good match so today we're going to have the fives and sixes are going to go at it and that's going to really be a close game the rest of the kids anyone practice they just want to watch absolutely because it's you know there's a lot on the line and no matter who wins it's it's you know they will definitely be good representatives of our team. Yeah and talk about this weekend's tournament so you know it's a tournament you've been to you know all three years just talk about you know some of the teams you've faced and some of you've played already some of you've played a lot over the last two or three years. Well it's an interesting setup Warner who we is in our pool the pools came out Warner's in our pool and it's a team that we beat five nothing but all five matches went three. So that makes me very nervous because they're our girls are thinking oh my gosh we beat them five nothing well they all went three very easily we could have lost three of those five and we would have lost three to two. We're also playing San Diego City College who we played last year who they are actually in a league in California. So they've had lots of matches and I know they're improved from last year we did play them last year in the small college and we're able to beat them five nothing but that was early. You know the one of the biggest concern is how hot is it going to be you know and how many matches are we going to play. If we can win our first two early matches on Saturday we'll get a buy in the first round of the single elimination tournament. If we lose one of our matches then we're going to have to play three on Saturday. No matter what we're playing two on Sunday in the championships at two o'clock we do know that. Yeah so you're playing so you're saying the weather in San Diego is a little nicer than it is here right now. No it's here in California we're not oh right now. But I'm saying they play a lot more matches. Yes yes yes absolutely. I think it is we have one of our players is from San Diego she's saying it's a lot nicer. I'm sure it is. All right coach we'll save travels to Florida this weekend and best of luck we'll talk to you next week. Thanks Greg. All right for Dave Trumbo. I'm Greg Royce. This has been the Dave Trumbo show.


Proudly, we hail from New York City where the American stage begins here is another program with a cast about standing place. Public service time has been made available by this station for your army and your Air Force to bring you this story as proudly we hail the United States Air Force. Experiments in space. This is the story of a project carried out in a new field of science. The field of space medicine created by the United States Air Force Medical Service. This project took Air Force men and machines on a dangerous and spectacular voyage into the upper atmosphere to the last frontier of flight. Our first actor will rise in just a moment but first young man if you're a high school graduate unmarried and otherwise qualified there's a future for you as an aviation cadet in the United States Air Force. You'll receive a year of the world's finest flying training and graduate as a second lieutenant earning more than $5,000 a year. Here's the opportunity of a lifetime to serve your country and build a career that will fit you for responsible positions in both military and commercial aviation. Visit your Army and Air Force recruiting station for details and now your army and your Air Force presents the proudly we hail production experiment in space. The plane you hear is a B-47 Stratoget. It's headed for the Aero Med Lab at the Wright Air Development Center at Dayton, Ohio. The two pilots of the controls, Major Clint Graves, 33, World War 2-8 in the front seat and First Lieutenant Bud Kytos, 24, a young jet fire in the rear seat are mystified by their new assignment to the Air Force Aero Medical Laboratory. They know very little about aviation medicine or the work being carried on at Wright Air Force base. As they cruise comfortably along, they're quiet, full of vague misgivings and uncertainties. Finally, Bud gives voice to his thoughts. You know, Clint, when I graduated into jets last year, I thought I was all through with school. What goes on at this laboratory, you know?  They go. And what do they need me for? Well, maybe they want you for a new experiment to find out which has the most brains. Dodo birds or jet-jacking. Seriously, Clint, I don't like it. Our old outfit was the best in the Air Force. I'm gonna figure an angle to get back to it. Lay off the angles. Too many of them keep a guy from flying straight and level. Yeah, well, don't worry about me. Any place I want to get, boy, I get. Yeah, well, in that case, start calling the tower. There's Wright up ahead. Roger. Wright Tower, this is Air Force Jet 9-4-1-7. Request landing instructions. Hey, pretty good landing for an old veteran. You really greased her in. Oh, well, thank you, pal.  So, this is the Arrow Med Lab, huh? All those beautiful nurses I hope to see. Clint! Clint Green! Hey, I got a calling here, Clint. Oh, it's a colonel. Doc! Well, I'll be... Doc Wright! Well, it's good to see you, Clint. It's been a long time, hasn't it? Not since Vee Day in Brussels, I guess. Oh, some celebration that was. A bud, meet my old flight surgeon, Monty Wright. I'm glad to know you, Colonel. How are you? Hey, Doc, you are a colonel at that. Night gone. Quite a coincidence running into you here. Well, it's not exactly a coincidence, Clint. I sent for you. You what? You sent for us, Colonel? But why, Doc? What do you need guys like us for? We're not medics or scientists. Well, sometimes we need flyers here as much as we need doctors or scientists. Well, why are we here? Well, I'd rather you knew a little more first about the kind of work we do at the lab. Then perhaps your project won't come as so much of a shock. Well, that sounds ominous. We're with you, Doc. Let's see the work. Here is the heaviest piece of equipment in our lab, the human centrifuge. The what? The centrifuge. It's a device for measuring the number of G-forces a man can stand. As a jet pilot, you know all about G-forces, don't you, Tyler? Roger. It's the weight of a pilot's body. Yes. A G is the unit of measurement we use to describe body weight under normal conditions. Now, the centrifuge here allows us to study the effects of great accelerations on the human body to simulate certain conditions in a high speed airplane. Depending on the revolutions per minute of this centrifuge, we can vary the G-forces acting on the subject. Well, Ted, this is Doc. How's the work? Now, the principle is really quite simple. That gondola over there is whirled around like a bucket on the end of a string. Just as a stone would be pinned on the bottom of the bucket, so a man in the centrifuge is pinned against the back of his seat. Well, brother, that thing's not for me. Now, you've climbed into many jet fighters where you undergo the same forces. That's what we use it for, to find out how much a man can take and still be safe. Our physiologists have found that men spun in the centrifuge can take up to 10 Gs and still move their arms and legs. Several of our experimenters have endured up to 17 Gs in the centrifuge without black outer redouts. Brother and I thought I'd been on some rough mission. Well, it isn't as bad as you think. Now, stand back and I'll show you the centrifuge in action. No, no, no, no, no. Don't ride in that thing on our account, Colonel. We believe you. No, no, this time it'll be a dry run. You all clear? Okay. Here she goes. At seven Gs now, at seven Gs, the blood is as heavy as liquid iron. Your blood would be as heavy as mercury. I don't think that's crazy merry-go-round. The consulate gets up to a speed of 173 miles per hour. We've discovered that when a man is lying in the prone position, the G forces act from back to chest and can more easily be tolerated. That's how you boys will pilot rockets someday. Rockets? Not just an old-fashioned jet pilot. You better start looking ahead, Titus. There's no doubt that aviation will eventually grow into space flight. At the lab here, we're just preparing for the inevitable. Doc, I had no idea aviation medicine included such spectacular stuff. Why, it's almost like science fiction. It's by no means science fiction, Glenn. And it's by no means also spectacular. Now, take the valuable work Lieutenant Meadows is doing down the hall. That's the side of it you should see too. Right down the hall here. What goes on here? Looks like something between a model kitchen and a chem lab. That's exactly what it is. Meadows is working on in-flight feeding problems where aircrews are sometimes kept aloft for long stretches of time. Oh, brother, look at that stake over there. If that's an example, they've come a long way from the K-rations we used to get on missions. Oh, yes. Meadows has helped us develop an entire line of in-flight foods that will do credit to any fine restaurant. Ah, Lieutenant Meadows. I was just describing your work to these gentlemen. I hope you don't mind. Indeed not, Colonel. Go right ahead. Oh, brother, talk about being spectacular.  Well, thank you. But I'm just a playing garden variety specialist in the Air Force Medical Service. Well, I'm trying to interest my two friends in our work. Lieutenant Clare Meadows, Major Clint Graves, and Lieutenant Bud Titon. How do you do, Lieutenant? They've been assigned to us temporarily. It would be nice working with you permanently, Lieutenant. I'm very good at eating steak, if that interests you. Not in the least. You seem to me more like the type of pattern. Oh. You mustn't mind, Bud, Lieutenant. These supersonic boys try to talk as fast as they fly. Well, anyhow, we've interrupted Lieutenant Meadows long enough. Let's get on to my office, for I'll tell you about the T-1 suit. Yes. Will you say that again, please, Colonel? The T-1 suit. The most important project at the base right now. And the reason you men are here. As soon as I get this safe open, you'll have a look at it. So far, we've kept the T-1 pretty much under wraps. Uh-uh. Here she comes. This, gentlemen, is the T-1 suit. Oh, Doc, that does look like something a man from Mars would wear. Unless we've been on the wrong track, Clint, very shortly, it'll be standard Air Force equipment. For what, masquerade? No, no, nothing quite so bizarre. It's to be used for flying in the upper atmosphere. Up there, crews meet many of the same environmental hazards that exist in space. The T-1 is a pressure suit. You mean to be used in case of emergency, Doc? That's right, Clint. Today, engineers can build planes to penetrate the upper atmosphere. The only trouble is this fragile human frame of ours isn't adequate to man them. It's the job of aviation on medicine to keep human factors in place with the amazing progress of aircraft designers and engineers. That's why we're developing the T-1 suit. Colonel, I'm sorry, but as I said before, I'm just an old-fashioned jet pilot. I'm not even keeping pace with you. Well, let me put it this way, bud. You know that without protection, man will suffocate for lack of oxygen at high altitude. Yes, sir. Around 50,000 feet, the entire process of respiration comes to an end. Yes, sir, but what about pressurized cabins? They take care of all that, don't they? Well, they do. Well, what happens if the cabin becomes depressurized through an accident or enemy action? Well, it explodes at decompression. Right. That's why we've developed this T-1 suit. It's a vital piece of emergency equipment. If cabin pressure drops, the suit is built to inflate automatically. It forms a protective envelope of its own for the man inside it. Has anyone tried it yet, Doc? No. We're only approaching that final stage now. Tests with personnel. That's the job I want you to do for us. Well, why us? Because Clint here has the kind of all-around flying experience we need. Moreover, he majored in biophysics at college. Well, it sounds like interesting work, Doc. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. All I ever thought about, Colonel, in college was flying jets. Where do I fit in? As Clint's co-pilot, I assumed the two of you would make a good team. That and your difference in age, among other factors which we've checked, made the two of you seem to be excellent for the kind of experimental work that must be done. Well, frankly, sir, I'm not so sure I go for this deal. Oh, well, I guess orders are orders. Oh, no, no, no, but that's not the way I want it. Now that I've had the chance to explain the job to you in person, I want things on a voluntary basis. Some of the work might be dangerous. It deals largely with the unknown. The final decision is yours. You are listening to the proud to be hail production experiment in space. We'll return in just a moment for the second act. Daring and imagination, courage and science. These have propelled us straight into the jet age, the age of airspeed faster than sound, of flight into the farthest frontiers of the sky. Young man, how would you like to master one of those jet planes? Sleek, powerful aircraft which represent the last word in military aviation. They're considered safer to fly than the old propeller planes. If you qualify for and successfully complete the interesting, exacting training of an aviation cadet, you'll have the chance. As a pilot in the United States Air Force, practicing a challenging career in the service of your country, you'll start as a second lieutenant earning more than five thousand dollars a year. If you're between 19 and 26 and a half in good health, single and meet metal and educational requirements, you're eligible to apply for the 16 month flight training course. See if you can qualify at your nearest Air Force base or local United States Army and United States Air Force recruiting station. You are listening to proudly we hail and now we present the second act of experiment in space.  You know it's not a bad officer club, they got here right, pull up a chair and enjoy it. But you've been sitting on the back of your neck around here for two days. It's about time you told Doc whether you volunteered for the T1 project or not. All right, all right, don't rush me. I, uh, I spent the afternoon being briefed on the first test they're going to run on the suit in the altitude chamber, huh? You should have been there. Well, I never did like those overgrown pressure cookers, Clint. Nope, the T1 ain't for this fly boy.  These new ideas scare the doots out of you, don't they, bud? Oh, look, Clint, you're not going to get a rise out of me that way. I don't scare easy, but this, this screwy suit just isn't my meat. They're looking for you, Clint. Hey, can I see you a minute? Yes, sure thing, Doc. This is us, bud. I've asked Lieutenant Meadows to keep you company while I go over a few things with Clint. We won't be long. Oh, take your time, Colonel. Well, well, well, well, sit down, Lieutenant. It's a pleasure. Thank you. There you are. Well, you've been dropping any more fresh jet jockeys in the deep freeze over Julyab? I guess I did seem cold when we met, but you have to admit you were pretty brash. Well, if brash means being knocked into a flat spin, you're quite right, Lieutenant. There you go again, Lieutenant. Aren't you afraid that line of yours will flame out someday?  You dig jet jive, huh? Just enough to find my way around the flight line. You forget I'm in the Air Force, too. Oh, no, no, not for a minute. It gives us so much in common. Seriously, Lieutenant, I want to apologize for the stuffy way I treated you. I didn't realize you were one of Colonel Rice's volunteers. Oh, I admire the job you're doing. Oh, wait a minute. Well, I mean, you see, it's like this. What I mean is that... Now, Lieutenant, this modesty is unbecoming. Stay as brash as you are. Okay, Lieutenant. If you like me brash, that's what I'll be. How's about dinner tonight for a start? Oh, sorry. I have some important lab work to see. Oh, what about tomorrow night? More lab work. Well, when? Well, wait a minute, wait a minute. Is this a stall? Friday. And I'm really sorry. I can't make it sooner. All right, all right. Friday it is. And now, believe it or not, I have to get back to the lab. Now, wait a minute, Lieutenant. The Colonel ordered you to stay with me. Keep me company. I heard him. Uh-uh. Like you, I volunteered for the job. So long. So long. Hey, bud, what happened?  Where'd Claire go? Well, I know Claire. She went back to her lab. Yes, yes, that's right, Colonel. You know, people are sure busy around here.  Sorry you won't be here for our altitude chamber test on Friday. On Friday, huh? Well, who says I won't be here Friday? Colonel, I volunteer. What? Well, but what made you change your mind? Well, I'll tell you, Clint, I've got some important lab work of my own. Benson, you understand clearly how we want the altitude chamber operated on this experiment? Oh, yes, sir. Evacuate pressure up to 50,000 feet according to the Brookings graph. I have control of them all right in front of me. Time.  The automatic computers will figure most of the information for it. But let me stress one thing. Report immediately if you have even the slightest suspicion of some malfunction. Malfunction? I got a heavy date tonight.  Now, go on, get in. What's the rush? We've got reserve seats, haven't we? Any last-minute questions, Clint? Bud? Oh, sir. Oh, take her away, Doc. Good luck. Seal her up. Take it, Benson. Right, sir. Give me a lighted altitude of 23,000 feet, sir. Hold them there a minute, Benson. How's it going, boys? Be especially alert from now on. You'll be working in red-lined density. Stage two, Benson. Lighted altitude, 40,000 feet, sir. Hold it a minute, Benson. Clint, you're at Angel's 40. Roger, Doc. How about you, Bud? No complaints, sir. Stage three, Ben. Red level of moment, Benson. You're at 50,000 feet. We'd never know it. All the instruments check out perfectly on the board out here. And why stop at 50,000, Doc? Well, 50,000 feet is what we call the functional border of space. That's as far as respiration is concerned. We'll hold you there a couple of more minutes and then start repressurizing. Looks like some airpads blew. I can't have to depressurize slowly. Are your suits level to blow up, too? Never mind me. He needs help. How bad is he? I can't. Oh, what about you? It's too much of a chance. Will do. Benson, depressurize SOP complete. But Colonel, what about Clint? Graves thinks his suit can take it. The other man's time reserve is running out. Pull out the stops, Benson. Stage one. Yes, sir. 6,000 feet, sir. Not enough. Open her up. How's he look, Doc? Well, not too bad. The tubes that didn't blow out, save them. Not take it easy, but you'll be okay in a few minutes. Three of the tubes blew out in suit. Like the Lord, the other 12 held.  Hey, look. Here's how it happened. A valve clock. That was close, huh? I'm sorry. I couldn't do better for you, Doc. You found out something we had to know. Does that mean we have to start all over again, Doc? I should say not. No, we learned what we wanted to from the chamber. The next step is to redesign the valves according to what we learned today. Then we'll test the suit in flight. In the next few weeks, Clint and Bud put in long hours working with Colonel Rice on the suit. And Bud is doubly busy, because he's also courting Clara Meadows. The two pilots run more than a dozen tests on the suit. Most of them in flight. Between flights, Colonel Rice and his staff modify the suit, make infinitely small adjustments and readjustments, which are suggested by the reports of the two pilots and the mass of statistical information the instruments record. Finally, the Colonel is ready to order a full production model on the T1 suit. But first, there's one thing they must know. Can a man bail out in it at the functional border of space where no one has ever tried it before and survived? That's the big question. Then, one gray dawn, Clint Graves, Bud Titus, Colonel Rice, and a third pilot, Jake Evans, sit quietly in the ready room, taking pure oxygen, preparing for the big hop. That's enough oxygen, boys. Let me check over your suit once more, Bud. Yes, sir. I've been in the suit so much recently, Colonel, I ought to wear it for pajamas. Well, just stay wide awake this morning, but that's all I ask. Level off. One thing about it, there's no turbulence up here. Well, this is where I get off. Right, Colonel? Run over the checklist with Jake once again, Bud. Roger. Lotation gear. Check. Battery and radio. Check. Bail-off bottle. Check. DI regulator. That covers it. Any sign of decompression sickness, Bud? Not at all. Okay, then. We're ready to complete the test. Prepare for bail-off, and take good care of that oxygen bottle. Roger, Doc. And by the open bomb, Baklint. Yours, Bud. Proceed with bail-off. Bud leaps into space through the perpetual dark blue above 40,000 feet where the stars always shine and he's plummeted downward. Only the T1 suit stands between his earth-conditioned frame and sudden deaths in the outer regions of the atmosphere. Is it good enough? Falling. Falling. A free fall of 30,000 feet, the longest man has ever tried, and then the automatic shoot tears open. The pigs are squealing and grunting. I'm making just as much noise out of pure happiness. Well, man, you should have seen that farmer's face. He got one look at the old T1 suit and lit out of the place like he had a rocket booster in his hip pocket. Such a secret for me. Why, honey? Well, when a girl's fiance makes history, she should be told about it. That makes us even, Claire. He didn't breathe a word to me about this engagement party. Well, like I always said, Doc, Bud's just a shy, old-fashioned jet pilot. Well, anyway, congratulations, Bud. Every happiness to you, Bud. Thank you, Colonel. I guess you know by now how grateful I am you had me set here. For one thing, I never would have met Claire. Well, I'm grateful to you. You and Clint deserve as much credit as anyone for the success of the T1 suit. I just sent a telegram to Washington recommending production on the T1. If I make a formal model, I'll wear it to Bud's wedding. That's very apropos. Well, I hate to break up the party, but I must call it a night. Oh, Doc, don't go. It's still early. Now, not for me. Don't forget we in Space Medicine have a big job getting you pilot set for things to come. I have to be at work first thing tomorrow morning on a new project. The biggest yet. Young man, do you have a flair for scientific subjects, physics, mathematics, electricity, astronomy? As an aircraft observer in the United States Air Force, you would use your technical knowledge as a rated flying officer on an Air Force flying team in an interceptor, bomber, reconnaissance, or transport plane. You'd be trained to operate the latest in electronic and radar equipment. You'd be a member of a flying team trained in such skills as navigation, bombardment, radar interception, and others. You're eligible to apply if you're between 19 and 26 and a half single and have a high school diploma. If you pass written and physical entrance examination, you'll start on a 14 month intensive training course. Then graduation, aircraft observer wings, a commission as an Air Force Lieutenant earnings over $5,000 and an interesting assignment as flying officer in your United States Air Force. This has been another program on Proudly We Hail presented transcribed in cooperation with this station. Proudly We Hail is produced by the Recruiting Publicity Center for the United States Army and United States Air Force Recruiting Service. This is Kenneth Banghart speaking and inviting you to tune in the same station next week for another interesting story on Proudly We Hail.


I created QTV simply because I wanted to be able to share my platform in a way that manifested outside of me. Being in the industry as long as I have been, it's always been me, me, me, and I just wanted to figure out how I could expand upon what I've built and share it with others. I'm at a place and time in my life where I'm always living in this creative mind. And it took a long time to really get there and to really trust myself and my instincts. What I would tell anyone is just don't think that every time you create something it's going to be. And the best thing that you ever did, Tricky Stewart, when we're working on Big Boss, the album that we just put out together, he was saying that creativity is not about trying to harness everything great in this one particular moment. It's about staying in the creative space enough so when time or serendipitous moment meets you, you're able to pull from the place you want to pull from naturally. It's less about putting pressure on yourself to be this creative genius in every moment and more so about just creating. I wear many different hats so a lot of the people that I admire, I can admire them for different things, whether it's them being a producer or director or writer or just all around entrepreneur.  I mean, I'm a huge fan of Oprah Winfrey, Tyler Perry, Ron Howard, Jordan Peele. The list goes on. There's so many things that inspire me from my generation to my friends, my family and my baby, which you could say is like love and happiness inspire me, you know, to be able to be present in every moment is what I think allows me to create magical moments.


Red flag is very unique because it's more of an air-to-air scenario, which you wouldn't think bombers would have a large part to play in that. However, they still have to get to the area where they have to drop the bombs. What's unique about Minot's involvement in red flag, specifically with the B-52, is the large array of weapons that we carry. It gives the combatant commanders and the mission commanders here a large scale and flexibility with their, with the capabilities that they want to use. Minot is and the 23rd are looking to just further integrate with the rest of the the combat air force, learning how our how our partners can further integrate to help us and how we can help them to fit into the overarching mission concept, as well as working with our coalition partners to make sure that we are able to all integrate and go out into the fight. The fifth maintenance group accounts for most of the personnel that we have here, and those are the guys and gals that turn wrenches day-to-day on the aircraft to keep them safe and ready to fly at any time. And we've got the 23rd bomb squadrons here as well from the operator side, all coming out of Minot. There's a lot of coordination leading up to it for about three plus months, making sure we came with the right package to do what we need to do here. Some of the challenges we face are like the standard challenges that everyone and faces when we get out here. Brand new, brand new area where we're not necessarily used to flying, different rules for how we're going to operate in the areas and things like that, different air spaces, and then just working in an environment that's not our home base. I think our teams are performing absolutely outstandingly. Our maintenance team has got our backs getting us off the ground and we've got the crews that are working tirelessly to make sure that we are able to go and integrate with our players. As for whether we're expected to be perfect or not, nobody expects that. But the expectation is that we all can come together during debrief and figure out, hey, where did we go wrong? What can we have done better? What is the next step for us so that way we can move on from the mistakes, never make them again, and be the most lethal aviators that we can be.


Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Minor Issues Podcast. I'm Mark Thornton at the Mises Institute. In this episode, I want to talk about the producer price index, or the PPI. It looks at the prices of a much larger expanse of prices of goods in the economy that producers buy, and it doesn't really get much discussion in the media. So we're not talking about the consumer price index, the CPI, which is reported and talked about extensively, especially with respect to Fed policy and politics. And that's a measure of a basket of consumer goods like eggs, milk, and bread that you buy at the grocery store, or gasoline that you buy at the gas station. PPI measures a predetermined basket of prices of goods that producers buy and sell up and down the entire structure of production, everything really but final consumer good prices. So think about rubber, not tires, leather, not shoes, cotton, not cloth, wheat, and not bread. It does not include wage rates, which is reported elsewhere, except to the extent that wages are an important component of producer goods. I mean, after all, you need labor to do farming, mining, forging, manufacturing, processing, research, warehousing, transportation, et cetera. There are about 10,000 different little PPIs out there for individual products and groups of products that are released each month and that are available for nearly all industries in the goods producing sector, such as mining, manufacturing, agriculture, fishing, forestry, energy, construction. All those various areas have their own little PPI index, which covers, you know, the vast majority of the economy. The PPI is generally ignored by the media and may only get a mention in the business press. PPI is most often ignored by economists as well. Something after all in the Fed's mind is CPI, and everybody follows along with that. So why bother in this podcast to cover it? As you're going to see, the PPI tells us a lot more about what's going on in the actual economy and actual industries than CPI ever will. And does PPI predict CPI? Well, not really. Not precisely. They follow different paths, but there is a connection. For example, if consumers drive up a particular consumer good price, then producer goods in that industry will also follow. So if Americans adopt the keto diet, then all things, beef, are going to rise. The price of feed, the price of cattle, the price of land, et cetera. And consumer good prices driven by the consumer is the norm. However, the government can also make it much harder to produce in a particular industry with regulations, taxes, subsidies to other goods, COVID lockdowns, et cetera. So then the higher cost as a result of government intervention will result in higher producer good prices. But producer good prices are a primary shock absorbing measure in the macro economy and macro economic instability. So if the government causes a boom or a depression in the economy, it's going to be felt first and foremost in the producer goods industry, whereas consumer goods are more stable. The PPI is also much more variable due to a variety of other factors. For example, peanuts and peanut butter really matter to peanut butter prices, but the salt in peanut butter does not. So this tells us a great deal about the elasticity or the rate of change in product markets. Producer goods are also very often sold in much bigger marketplaces, so international conditions also impact those prices. Now as a general historical thumbnail sketch, until the early 1970s, the PPI and the CPI were relatively flat, and that was the period when we were on the Brenton Woods gold standard. But from then on CPI has been on a trend line that is much steeper upward over time, whereas PPI has been less steep in its trend line. But it is within those trends or moving averages over time. There's a much more erratic behavior of PPI. This is reflective of the business cycle, the global business cycle, as well as the rise of service industries and the relative cost or use of labor in the prices of the ultimate things that we pay for. During the housing bubble decade, the PPI did a massive catch up to CPI. After the crash of the housing bubble, we saw PPI drop precipitously after the fact where CPI continued upwards. Between the peak housing bubble year of 2008 and the COVID crisis of 2020, the producer price index was somewhat erratic, but its trend was flat, while CPI stayed on its upward trend. Most importantly, since COVID, the COVID crisis, CPI rose 14.6% from the trough to the peak, which I measure in June of 2022, and then has since advanced another 3.3%. That's what you're paying out there in the economy. But meanwhile, PPI advanced almost 50% from the trough to the peak, again in June of 2022. So there was a massive increase in producer prices as a result of COVID, and since then it has only declined by about 10%. So there was a big increase, a bubble sort of in CPI prices that has continued to increase over time, but with PPI, the increase was much more massive, and that was the result of the impact of inflation, and of course, all of the supply side problems and restrictions from COVID itself. And since then, the decline has been relatively modest, and that modest decline worries me that we're not really making the corrections that the Austrian business cycle tells us that is really necessary. And when you look at the individual PPI's in various industries, you see a differential effect so that sheets of steel have corrected a great deal, but things like producer food prices rose significantly and then have been flat ever since. They really haven't corrected at all. The same is true in the drug industry, the cement industry, and then in many other industries there's been that relatively typical correction in line with the 50% increase during the COVID inflationary bubble, and then there's been a slight decrease in those indexes. So this is something we want to keep an eye on and that we will keep an eye on here, but again, is something that is not really discussed in the media or by economists, but it is important here at the Minor Issues Podcast.


Russia's elite build their own private armies, they are key to Putin's war plan moving forward. Russian oligarchs and state-owned companies are increasingly running private military companies and recruiting and training their own battalions for Russia's war in Ukraine. The Daily Beast reported this. Russian billionaire Viktor Shendrik, the head of the security department of Russian Railways, has reportedly been backing a detachment of Russian fighters made up of a group of football fans called Espanola according to iStories media outlet. Shendrik is close with the Rotenberg brothers, Arkady and Boris Rotenberg, two of the Russian billionaires who are longtime friends of Russian president Vladimir Putin and who were reportedly interested in having their own private military company. Espanola was first created last year, but Shendrik recently began sponsoring the group sources told iStories. But the group isn't just a security group, the group is part of the reddit private military company which is operated by the Russian Ministry of Defense and has its own sniper reconnaissance and assault capabilities according to iStories. Putin's United Russia Party took control of the private military company last year according to an intelligence assessment from the main directorate of intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and the Espanola battalion has been fighting in Ukraine according to the intelligence report. In fact, Espanola's intelligence chief was recently killed in Ukraine, the group confirmed in a social media post earlier this week. This battalion is just one example of how central private military companies are to Russia. Even after the death of former Wagner group boss Yevgeny Prigozhin, Sean McFate, a leading expert on mercenaries told The Daily Beast. The Kremlin is still using mercenaries and private forces as a major tool of warfare, McFate said. Shendrik and the Rottenberg brothers are not alone in backing private military companies that then get sent to Ukraine. Gazprom, the state-owned energy company, has been working on several private military companies behind the scenes. Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin gave Gazpromneft an oil subsidiary of Gazprom permission to create a private security group for its infrastructure, and the groups were tasked with protecting Gazprom-related entities. Roskosmos, Russia's space agency, has been backing the Euron or Uranus battalion since at least last year. The emerging trend of private military companies throughout Russia is key to Putin's war plan moving forward, McFate told The Daily Beast. They used to use it for plausible deniability in Africa and Syria, but now they're using it because it's a way for Putin to disguise the true costs of war to average Russians, he added. NATO bringing missiles closer to Russia, Patriot anti-air missile systems will be stationed in Lithuania. NATO will station US-made Patriot anti-air missile systems in Lithuania during 2024. The Baltic country's defense minister has announced. Lithuania shares a border with Russia's exclave of Kaliningrad and with Russia's ally Belarus. This year, the rotational air defense system will finally become operational, at least partially, Avidas Anusoskas said during a press conference in Vilnius, as quoted by the state broadcaster LRT. Our goal is to have a rotation similar to the air policing mission. The minister added, referring to the regular patrol flights by NATO aircraft in the airspace of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. This principle would not be a one-off thing for several months but would cover all of our calendar months and significantly increase our air defense capabilities. Anusoskas said last year the US and its allies in Europe delivered several Patriot batteries to Ukraine as part of efforts to back Kiev during its conflict with Moscow. The Washington-led bloc has deployed additional forces to Eastern Europe and the Baltic states in recent years, citing Russia's military operation in Ukraine. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg warned last month that the Western allies must prepare for a confrontation that could last for decades. Russia, for its part, cited NATO's continuing expansion Eastwood and the bloc's cooperation with Kiev as one of the root causes of the current conflict. Russian officials have repeatedly stressed that Moscow views NATO military units near its border as a national security threat. In January, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova warned that the stationing of additional foreign forces in Lithuania only leads to the escalation of military tensions.

So he's currently going for the fire escape right now. I have found the thing that will turn all the power off and scare him crapless. What? Well, I thought we were supposed to be, you know, doing this properly. Which is why I didn't take it. I'm telling you, we take this at the end. And I think that's exactly what I did. And neither time's worked.   Oh, you mean that's worth a lot of money. Okay. The power of the power thing. Yeah. So get this back to the ship.

Right. Okay. Where's this locked door? Oh, here. Oh, there you go guys.  I found like something that ran and did like a sniff and then stopped. Really? Oh, I think that's another one of verticals lies. See what he just does that to escape. He's genuinely passive. Oh, that's cool. He should attack him. Yeah. But he has a huge mouth. Look, there he is. Wait, what's the big green blob? Oh, it's glad for public. Don't worry about it. It's for those who get weird.  But that thing's moving. What smoke moves guys? Look, I'm inside. Right now. I'm fine. Honestly, you are not Europe.  Hey, we can leave now guys. Oh, we got so much stuff. Oh, we might actually get to a full one of the better planets. This can be fun. Oh, sweet.

But look, there's like a whole loop room. Let's remember that. I've got a loop running. I'm nearly full on loop. Are you really? Where's the loop room? Hey, TKL. Someone want to grab that? Where's the TKL? Oh, not that. Oh, how do we get the beehive? I see one. But it's got to get dark and a monster is going to come out. So one person is going to stay on the ship at all costs and that would not be me because I've got experience with beehives. So whoever stays on the ship, you stay by that door and you get ready to close it. Okay, Beaver, how about you, the doorman? All right, I'll be doorman. Okay. Our lives are inconsequential.  All right, go on.  Excited. There's one over there. I'm going to leave the beads away. Okay. Oh, go grab the beehive. Go on then. Oh, God, they come straight back for you. Do I close the door? Kill the ship. Oh, maybe I shouldn't have done that. Open the door. All right, close the door. They sound like they're coming onto the ship. In vertical day. Please return. Oh, he must have died. He's only called the ship to leave. Where is he? Oh, he's outside. Yeah, he's definitely dead. Let's go. Oh, three beehives, he says. Frickin' bees. They came through. The most paranoid. Well, I mean, that is normal. It's all been taken. Paycheck. Six hundred. We are going to be able to afford Titan. What's Titan precious? Titan is one of the... It's my favorite map. You get so much loot. What, more than what we've just gotten? With ease. Oh, wow. We could get this in one run. Only downside is there's new mobs that are very aggressive. And, um...  This is the final technically final level because it costs seven hundred dollars to go there. Yikes. So we need to go there all three days to get our money's worth. However, we have loads of money left over. So I'm going to introduce you to something called a teleporter. Ah, you can teleport friends in here. Yeah, you can teleport your friends. However, they drop everything on them. So only do it to save them or if you need to get a body back to not lose money at the end. I'll go there, but I just... The back. Okay, lights are back. Welcome to Titan. Population none. Hazard level S plus. Is that like really good? Like there's no hazards? We'll go with that. All right, you guys. I'll see you on the other side. Okay, I'll go in there. My ride is on a sixty dollar wedding ring. Sixty dollar wedding ring.  I'll go back to where I should be. I think you'll find me. Bugger you. Wait, where am I? How are you alive? You should be dead. You survived. I'll teleport you back. I'll teleport you back. Okay, hold on. I'll pick up the duck then. Oi, dog. I see you. Oh, wait. Oh, God. Here we go. Oh, wait. Did I? Oh, I dropped everything I had, including the flashlight and the ducky. So I teleported you before you knew. Um, uh, Vertigo's dead outside, by the way. Yeah, there's something red that's coming towards the ship. Oh, Jesus. What was that? Oh, God, it's right outside the ship. It's got huge teeth. Don't open it. If it gets in here, we're going to die. Oh, God.  Right. I guess we'll just go then. Bye. Like you voted, guys. Well, I'm not left with many options ever. Um, right, we're going back. Yes. So what happened was the door has a timer on it when you close it. Yeah. So I wanted to go. I wanted to go close it before they could get in. He opened the door and the dog's right there. He looks back at you and gets moved. I was like, we should just leave. Why are you going to the door? You know what? I'll just go grab. Oh, they found something. Roll them than me. Hey. Okay. Let's have a little scan in here. Why is that a chalice? What that? How much does that worth? 52 already making up. Hell yeah. I'm going to take this back. I drop it.  I dropped the chalice.  Damn it. I'm off. I'm off. He's not friend.  It's called the gesture. I'm clicking listen. Oh, God. Here we go. Okay. Let's run. Let's get let's break it go. He's going to pop out.  What do we get out of the place? Oh, we're dead. Oh, we're dead. Oh, we're so dead. Oh, we're so dead. He went. He went the exit way. He set it off and went the exit way. That's terrifying. I think he might glitched. One of us can make a run for it. Is vertical dead over there? Where? A little girl. Oh, wait. No, no, no. That's a mannequin. If we look away, it'll come for us. Oh, wait. Where did vertical go though? I didn't get killed by either of those two things. I got killed by a Bracken. What? Really? Yeah, it came up behind me and snapped my neck as I was watching the gesture. I mean, it's so cloudy right now because he could see a little girl who needs to leave ASAP. Oh, really? Which is kind of funny when he was saying I see little girl and I can see three other. My plan worked. I was I was going to say he's coming up to stairs people. We have to jump off here and then run. I was going to jump, but then you actually. What do you like? Wait, what's this one? You did good excited. Okay, good, good. You got us out of here with money. You did good. He did good. Yeah. Also, there was a sand worm as well. It came dangerously close to marking me. Beaver. Well, I'm dead. I don't even know I'm dead. Wow. By lightning. Yep. Yep. I died instantly. Died instantly on him or something. Yeah, he died. I had my flashlight bring you back as quickly as possible, but we really need to get going because we need my quick. I promise. I can't even believe that lightning strike on the ground somewhere. I was like, oh, he doesn't have to tell you, but I'm getting haunted by the girl. If you want some good time to be where's the way out? That way. Yeah. Oh, God. The gesture. Agh. A beetle. A beetle. We need to find the exit. No. She's not funny. She's not funny. I'm next. I'm next. He's lucky. No. Drop it. Drop it. Drop it. Drop it. Yeah. There we go. Oh, God. He's out of stamp.  Well, the good news is he's going to go zap by lightning a hundred percent on the way down. So at least I got to see that. Excited. I have like so much to try and carry back. Oh my God. He's going. Oh, oh, oh my God. There's a giant dog there. This was his idea for this one though. Right. Like he wanted this planet. Oh dear. Oh, he survived though. Well, for now. Oh, there you go. Well, either way. He's not getting back up there. That's for sure. Wait, he's going to teleport our bodies back. Hey. We can kill him. I think skills those dogs by the way, as I said, I'm pretty good at the game. When you're good at the game, you don't have to say that you're going to be. He can't hear you. I know.  Oh, hey, vertical. Is he seriously like by the way, we failed. There's no way around it. So what happens when we fail? Oh, we're just going to get blown up in space now.
