- Positivity Trumps Negativity (Coronavirus and Our Mental Health)
The Joy of Cooking. The host for this show is Ken Burtness. The guest is Jeremy McOuat.
Despite big crowds on the 4th of July, sold-out airplanes taking people everywhere, massive traffic jams, unmasked people breathing in everyone's faces, and arms hugging friends and strangers, the Coronavirus Cloud of continuing new cases and new hospitalizations casts its shadow, bringing uneasy shade on many people. When will the "Good Old Days" come back: days without viruses, without automatic weapons spewing death everywhere, without war raging somewhere threatening to open up Pandora's box of nuclear devastation, without climate change killing the planet? With people's heads full negativity, where is truly the joy of life? For many it is the smell of breakfast cooking, the midday picnic basket, or sitting around the dining room table.The ThinkTech YouTube Playlist for this show is https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQpkwcNJny6l16ePIwXMhLWB4s3fKrlXVPlease visit our ThinkTech website at https://thinktechhawaii.com and see our Think Tech Advisories at https://thinktechadvisories.blogspot.com.30 min - EYELUV - Looking Through a Different Lens (Adventures in Commercialization)

EPA and Other Agencies Need Congress' OK. The hosts for this show are Tim Apicella and Jay Fidell. The guests are Cynthia Lee Sinclair and Winston Welch.
The SCOTUS ruling last week put a new restriction on the EPA's ability to regulate carbon emissions from industry. Essentially, before the EPA can take steps to set limits of carbon pollution, Congress must pass a law to authorize the EPA with those powers. As Congress is in a state of constant gridlock, once again serious attempts to address global warming are put on hold. Further implications apply to other federal agencies that may now have to ask Congress permission to carry out its responsibilities. The panel explores this newly created dilemma and impact to the government's ability to conduct its mission.The ThinkTech YouTube Playlist for this show is https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQpkwcNJny6kJ276rzD7XCodasnTPPCOGPlease visit our ThinkTech website at https://thinktechhawaii.com and see our Think Tech Advisories at https://thinktechadvisories.blogspot.com.40 min - Midtown Flunk Vol 16 (Humane Architecture)

Time for New Thinking and Capability. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guests are Dan 'Fig' Leaf and Howard 'Dallas' Thompson.
Two retired Air Force generals, Dan "Fig" Leaf and Howard "Dallas" Thompson, discuss what they see as a fundamental shift in nuclear thinking. They describe the emergence of a new norm in nuclear doctrine: blackmail. That approach is in stark contrast to the notion of Mutually Assured Destruction, where major powers – United States, the USSR, and China – viewed atomic attack as truly a last resort. The United States must now seriously consider its options to counter a new collective nuclear blackmail.Russia has implied that it could use nuclear weapons in Ukraine, and North Korea has done the same in reference to South Korea and the United States. China's words and actions regarding Taiwan and the growing partnership between Presidents Xi and Putin suggest that the PRC's stated "no-first-use" policy may be a hollow promise.The ThinkTech YouTube Playlist for this show is https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQpkwcNJny6komvysbIElhwa0iN1zzvn_Please visit our ThinkTech website at https://thinktechhawaii.com and see our Think Tech Advisories at https://thinktechadvisories.blogspot.com.36 min - Crack the Code on Writing Your Memoir (Books!
