LTG Semonite: Hello, I'm Lieutenant General Todd Semonite, 54th chief of engineers, and we're on the road
again today here at Offutt Air Force Base in the STRATCOM command and control
facility with me is Matt Bird, Matt's a senior program manager here for this
particular facility, Matt this is one of the probably most complicated buildings
that we've ever done tell our Corps team a little bit about what are we building
here in the STRATCOM facility what's the scope, what's the size and how
did we get to where we're at? Bird: Sure, Sir, thank you, right now we are standing
inside the atrium of the U.S. STRATCOM C2F facility that's the command and control facility
we are supporting one of the nine major commands for the
U.S. military, U.S. STRATCOM, their mission is for space and cyber
and also nuclear deterrence they have a workforce of 3,700 people that are
currently working across the street in a 1950s era building, we are replacing it
now with a brand new state-of-the-art facility that is nine hundred and
sixteen thousand square feet this facility will be fully redundant in
mechanical and electrical systems, it is survivable in the event of certain
events and then we meet and exceed all force protection criteria, this facility
can also withstand an EF-5 tornado, right now
this facility is programmed at six hundred and seventeen million dollars, sir
LTG Semonite: And what percent are we now? Bird: We are at ninety eight percent and right now we
have our users actually in the facility putting in furniture and computers
and they occupy about ninety ninety-five percent of this facility
LTG Semonite: So we're almost done, they've got some more work they've got to do to make it a
hundred percent fully mission capable, with me also is Steve Morrissey, Steve you're
the resident engineer, I just spent about three hours walking through the building
it's an amazing facility out here, a lot of very very unique features, great
atrium in here a lot of office space but can you tell
the Corps team a little bit about maybe some of the other unique things about this building?
Morrissey: Sure, Sir, yes we've built a very complex
facility here, one of the unique features of the facility is that the whole
building is surrounded by a PERS wall, a permanent earth retention structure
essentially we have built this building inside of a bathtub so that no ground
water can penetrate into the facility another interesting feature of this
facility is that we have a rather large HEMP shield, HEMP is high-altitude
electronic magnetic pulse to prevent certain systems in STRATCOM from going
down in the event that there's a pulse in the atmosphere, essentially we've
built a three-story building inside of a steel box inside of a foundation
LTG Semonite: And then, Steve, what about some of the things for the people here, I saw a great
cafeteria out there I think there's an auditorium as well, what are some of
those other things that you want to go out of your way to take care of the people from STRATCOM?
Morrissey: Absolutely, Sir, we've built a state-of-the-art cafeteria
where they'll bring in, essentially, set up like a food court area, we're also
supplying an auditorium which they currently don't have in their current
facility so they can gather large groups of people and have the meetings that they need to have
LTG Semonite: And then again, without getting into the details, an awful lot of
classified areas built into the building where they're able to do their mission
out here and so you've got all of those right systems in place to be able
to take care of those classifications, so this is a very very complicated building
I mean just my personal time in the Corps probably one of the most complex
buildings we've ever built and as I walk through and I look at not only
the great systems and the great contractors that are working together
here but it's the team that you guys have, you can't do this by yourself, Steve
we've got great contractors, all the rest of the great people in Omaha, other parts
of the Corps team and we're excited to work with the STRATCOM family to get
this building done, these hard buildings take a while to do but the bottom line
is I think we're all committed to being able to push this across the
finish line so thanks an awful lot, Matt, for the great job you're doing and, Steve,
phenomenal job by you and your team, you know in the Army our army our motto is
Army Strong, here in the Corps our motto is Building Strong, I think what I've
seen today and what you guys represent to me is that Omaha District is
finishing strong and that's what it's all about here
Offutt Air Force Base STRATCOM headquarters finishing strong with Omaha District

Why Do Some Sounds Make us Cringe? - Duration: 2:50.
imagine the sound of fingernails scrapping across a blackboard if you are
like most people then you probably can't stand that kind of sound and even just
thinking about it might be making your skin crawl and don't worry we are
definitely not going to play that kind of sound in this video
there have been number of studies to find out why this ear piercing noise is
universally disliked and receives such a non-rational reaction a study published
in the Journal of Neuroscience in 2012 reveals what's happening in the brain
when people hear screechy sounds in the study 13 participants listen to 74
sounds and rated them from the most unpleasant which is of the sound of a
knife on the bottle to the most pleasing which is of babbling water brain imaging
of the participant shows that when they heard an unpleasant noise the amygdala
active in processing emotions adjust the response of the auditory cortex part
of the brain that processes sound which heightens activity and triggers the
negative emotional reaction doctors Sukhbinder Kumar a research
fellow at Newcastle University said it appears there is something very
primitive kicking in it's a possible distress signal from the amygdala to the
auditory cortex the acoustic analysis found that anything in the frequency
range of around 2,000 to 5,000 Hertz was perceived as unpleasant this is the
frequency range where our ears are most sensitive it includes sounds of screams
which we find highly unpleasant overall the research shows that this kind of
noise has the same frequency as that of human scream and a crying baby
indicating that these sounds are tied to survival researchers also found that the
warning cry of a chimpanzee is similar to the sound of fingernails on a
chalkboard perhaps people have an unconscious reflex to this sound because
of its uncanny resemblance to a warning call now what is the purpose of this
research? of course we are curious and want to
know the answer to everything but is there anything other than that behind
this research? well yeah! this research is an important step forward in undertaking
and helping to treat conditions that make people sensitive to certain sounds
such as tinnitus, migraine headaches, or autism well now at least we have some
idea as to why this kind of noise evokes such a visceral reaction and why getting
a proper answer to this question is so important for researchers

Russia says it will expel 60 US diplomats - Duration: 0:33.
Russia says it will expel 60 American diplomats and close the U.S. consulate in St. Petersburg.
Russia's foreign minister announced the decision Thursday, just a few days after President
Donald Trump ordered dozens of Russian diplomats to be expelled from the U.S.
Earlier this month, a nerve gas attack in southern England put a former double agent
and his daughter in critical condition.
British Prime Minister Theresa May and other world leaders have blamed Russia for the attack.
Russia has denied any involvement.

Moscow expels U.S. diplomats, shuts consulate in tit-for-tat move - Duration: 2:11.
Now for a look at stories making headlines around the world and we start in Russia.
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says Moscow is booting out dozens of American diplomats
in the wake of Washington's decision to expel a bunch of Russian diplomats over the poisoning
of a former Russian spy in England.
For more on this and other international news we turn to our Ro Aram…
Aram.... fill us in on what Lavrov had to say....
Well Semin….
Lavrov says Russia is expelling 60 U.S. diplomats and officials in retaliation for identical
U.S. measures announced earlier this week.
They have one week to leave and the U.S. consulate in St Petersburg will also be shut in retaliation
for the closure of the Russian consulate in Seattle.
"U.S. ambassador Mr. (Jon) Huntsman has been invited to our ministry, where my deputy Mr.
(Sergei) Ryabkov briefs him on our response to the US.
These measures include the expulsion of the same number of diplomats.
And this includes our decision to withdraw the licence for the U.S. consulate in St.
Petersburg"
Lavrov has blamed Washington for leading the mass expulsion of Russian diplomats in the
West, and said Moscow will enforce similar measures on countries that joined it.
U.S. State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said the Russian move was unjustified.
"I want to remind you that there is no justification for the Russian response.
Our actions were motivated purely by the attack on the United Kingdom…..
So we are reading this.
We are reviewing it and we'll respond accordingly."
More than two dozen nations have joined the UK in pointing the finger at Moscow for the
nerve agent attack on Sergei Skripal and his daughter in Salisbury earlier this month.
The Kremlin has repeatedly denied involvement and Lavrov again described the actions against
his country as provocative.
He added Russia is also seeking a meeting with the leaders of the Organisation for the
Prohibition of Chemical Weapons to discuss the case.
Meanwhile, doctors treating Sergei Skripal's daughter Yulia say she is recovering quickly.
She is known to be conscious and speaking, but her father remains in critical condition.

DJI Evolve With Us - What is the DJI Zenmuse XT? - Duration: 7:59.
Hi everyone its Dennis here, on today's video I'm gonna be talking about the
announcement from DJI as of today the 28th of March so I'm gonna be watching
the new video the DJ has published and probably provide my thoughts on what
this announcement is all about found out about this event a couple days ago by a
DJ or Twitter account actually did DJ our enterprise Twitter account now
there's been a lot of news or rumors around that DJ I will be announcing a
massive protrude today or the you know there's gonna be the phantom 5 that's
gonna be announced now I strongly believe the today's announcement it's
not all about consumer drones like they've already done that with the magic
year a couple months ago and DJ Enterprise is a different entity and
they focus more on industrial commercial drones so looking at the image of the
tweet pink or the picture that they tweeted you know has a couple you know
words they do well the world of work is changing evolve with us March 20 and it
has like two circular things in there which I suspect it's like a lens you
know could be a smaller lens in a bigger lens in there I mean I'll show you
future here and yeah again a lot of people be commenting oh yeah it's a
macro to factor form that let's D bump that not
any of those consumer drones it came from a DJI Enterprise Twitter account so
yeah it's more commercial now I'm saying that definitely looking
forward for maverick protein which hope will be out later this year again
there's plenty of rumors in there I'll probably link it down below couple notes
on what the average pros two could look like and also some of the specs of the
of the phantom 5 so I'll link it down below anyway further ado let's go watch
this new announcement
two years ago DJ I teamed up with flair the world mayor and innovative imaging
systems to bring thermal data to a new generation of pilots the partnership
gave rise to the zenmuse xt a highly sensitive thermal camera that enabled
drone operations for every day firefighters emergency responders
agronomists inspectors and more to enhance the capabilities of these new
pilots DJI and FLIR are back again to bring you the zenmuse XT - the ultimate
thermal imaging solution that packs twice the power through a dual sensor
configuration pairing a radiometric thermal sensor with a 4k visual camera
the XT 2s dual sensor setup lets pilots do more in less time collecting easily
comparable visual and thermal data in a single flight utilizing the XT 2 we're
able to rapidly assess every solar panel on our project while simultaneously
monitoring structural components and the environment as well the dual sensor
capability is a game-changer it provides all the data we need the schedule site
maintenance in one flight significantly increasing our productivity working
behind the dual sensors is a set of processors that enable the XT twos
machine intelligence this onboard intelligence gets pilots a host of smart
features that turn the XT to s vast stream of thermal data into actionable
insights even while the drone is flying never miss the heat with temp measure
allowing pilots to get detailed temperature data in real time quickly in
terms of this complex thermal information with clear MSX technology
and isotherm controls letting you overlay visual data on top of thermal
imagery and fine-tune your real-time view it's very important for us to be
able to confirm quickly what we're seeing on the thermal view with these
new real-time visualization settings we can immediately interpret this aerial
data and quickly make detailed tactical decisions on how to proceed with our
rescue operation
maintain safety in challenging fight scenarios the XT to automatically locks
on to the highest temperature within the frame with P track or any desired object
with quick track giving you the freedom to focus on the mission at hand
immediately identify what's important with temp alarm alerting you of any
objects exceeding a set temperature limit when inspecting our equipment it's
important that we identify overheating components prior to failure with the XT
2's advanced radiometric settings we were able to fly in close and scan the
area in detail for any potential hazards after a few adjustments on the DJI pilot
app the X t2 will alert us if there's a component that requires maintenance fly
in more situations than ever before when combined with an N 200 series drone XT 2
pilots can see in low-light conditions and fly confidently despite a strong
breeze or light rain search-and-rescue often comes down to finding a needle in
a haystack using these machine intelligence
features we're able to pick out things that are above 95 degrees in this case
its body temperature and we're able to find those things and have the alarm go
off and alert us
the xt2 allows us to save time and when we save time we save lives whether it's
flying high for inspections of solar panels or saving lives on the ground
with rescue teams the xt2 sets the industry standard through a combination
of powerful sensors and onboard machine intelligence to give you meaningful
results welcome to the next generation of aerial imaging it's not one of those
new consumer drones so stop thinking about maverick pro 2 for now ok
so introducing the DJI send use xt 2 a dual sensor thermal imaging solution
that sets the standard for the next generation in aerial imaging so that's
did you our enterprise that's what they tweeted today I'm not too familiar with
the commercial drones I mean I'm primarily more consumer ones
but yeah that's definitely something to be exciting it's definitely something to
be excited about especially if you are looking to buy definitely helpful for
say firefighters or for for you know checking solar farms as such I mean as
you can see in the video that's really for me yeah very exciting for an
exciting time so getting exciting times for DJI they are dominant player in the
drone game so yeah really excited for them and there's plenty of things that
they're working on fingers crossed we'll get an update on the DJI maverick
pro 2 and/or the phantom 5 very very soon that's probably the next consumer
drone that I'm excited that everyone's excited
there's a lot of news coming up or rumors news and rumors coming out it's
some pieces about what's gonna look like and everything so anyway today's event
prove them wrong it's not maverick Pro - it's not 9 to 5
is the zenmuse XD - well that's really about it I hope you enjoyed this video
give it a like I really appreciate it and subscribe to my channel for more
videos oh by the way do follow me on my social
media accounts Facebook Twitter Instagram and more for news updates and
exclusive content again this is Dennis and I'll see you in my next video bye

JUDY WOODRUFF: A funeral today in a city on the edge.
Services were held in Sacramento, California for 22-year-old Stephon Clark.
He was shot and killed by police earlier this month, leading to days of protests.
We will have the full story right after the news summary.
In the day's other news: Russia retaliated for the expulsions of more than 150 diplomats
by the U.S. and other nations.
Moscow tossed out the same number, including 60 American diplomats.
It's also closing the U.S. Consulate in St. Petersburg, after the U.S. closed the Russian
Consulate in Seattle.
This follows the poisoning of a former Russian spy in England.
More funerals today in the Russian city of Kemerovo.
A shopping mall fire killed 64 people there on Sunday; 41 of the dead were children.
Today, at a local school, teachers and classmates piled stuffed animals and hanged pictures
of those they'd lost.
One woman accused officials of washing their hands of it and shifting responsibility.
Families in Venezuela are demanding answers after 68 people died in a fire during a jail
riot.
It happened Wednesday in the town of Valencia in Carabobo State, 100 miles west of Caracas.
Family members of inmates clashed with police outside the prison and officers fired tear
gas.
Today, people were still angry.
BEATRIZ RODRIGUEZ, Venezuela (through translator): There was a riot here inside.
I came quickly.
When I arrived here, the cruelest news we received was that they burned them, they killed
them, they assassinated them, because they were locked up in a jail cell.
They are not crazy enough to burn themselves.
They were burned.
They were killed here like dogs.
JUDY WOODRUFF: The United Nations has called for a prompt investigation into the deaths.
In Egypt, early estimates from this week's presidential election suggest incumbent Abdel
Fattah El-Sisi will win 92 percent of the vote cast.
But, as ballots were counted today, state media reported that voter turnout was only
about 40 percent.
That's despite government payments and even threats.
Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai returned to Pakistan today.
It was her first visit since being shot by Taliban militants in 2012 for promoting education
for girls.
She met with Pakistan's prime minister in Islamabad, and said she had longed for a homecoming.
MALALA YOUSAFZAI, Nobel Peace Prize Winner (through translator): For last five years,
I have dreamed that I can set foot in my country.
Whenever I travel by plane or car, I see the cities of London, New York.
I was told, just imagine you are in Pakistan.
It was never true.
But now, today, I see.
I am very happy.
JUDY WOODRUFF: The visit is taking place under heavy security, and is expected to last for
several days.
Back in this country, a Maryland appeals court agreed on a new trial for a man whose murder
case was featured in the NPR podcast "Serial."
Adnan Syed has spent almost 20 years in prison for the killing of an ex-girlfriend.
Today's ruling upheld a lower court that vacated Syed's conviction because his lawyer failed
to cross-examine a key witness.
And Wall Street closed out a volatile week.
The Dow Jones industrial average gained 254 points to finish at 24103.
The Nasdaq rose 114 points, and the S&P 500 added nearly 36.
The markets will be closed tomorrow for Good Friday.
Still to come on the "NewsHour": I speak to now former VA Secretary David Shulkin; unrest
in Sacramento after a controversial police shooting; the New Orleans mayor on his new
book about confronting the South's Confederate past; and much more.
