Don’t be afraid to grow up. The longer you wait, the more time you waste. Get started on your life’s journey by having the courage to step out into the world, even if that means being uncomfortable for a while. 

Commander Drew insists there are only two kinds of pilots: 

#1 - Those that can fly on & off aircraft carriers 

#2 - Those who wish they could 

Sadly, soon there may only be one. 

The U.S. Navy has made a dramatic change in the way that student Naval Aviators earn their Wings of Gold. This unique segment of the U.S. military has eliminated the requirement to have actually landed a plane on an aircraft carrier before receiving their golden wings and being designated as Naval Aviators. The change was made in an effort to reduce training time, as well as wear and tear on airframes and most important, to save money. Advances in technology. The advent of Precision Landing Mode, informally known as “Magic Carpet” is a technological advancement in a data linkup with an aircraft’s flight control system. The bottom line, is that this advancement in technology makes landing on a ship easier. Only time will tell. 

In a bit of good news, one professional sports team is using some of its resources for charitable purposes. A team in the Womens National Basketball Association, the Atlanta Dream in partnership with the mobile financial platform known as Cash App will retire the debt for thousands of people to eliminate this burden that weighs heavily on families. 

Since we all know, “two wrongs don't make a right”, we should all strive to do the right thing, even if it’s not convenient. 

Meet a wingman who displayed courage under fire, while being in the middle of a fire.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
