The Meridian Police Department is assisting with a gas line break near Walmart on Overland Road Intermountain Gas is on the scene and working to address the leak Nearby businesses have evacuated out of caution Overland is closed between South Stoddard and South Meridian Road Crews will need to dig up the roadway in order to access and fix the leak There is no estimated time for when the roadway will reopen at this time Will we will update this story as we learn more XOVERLAND has acquired Overland Journal and Expedition Portal. The acquisition will create the largest media company in the overlanding space and video studio all under one umbrella — Overland Collective the acquisition will create a massive voice in overland media Terms of the agreement were not made public and the Overland Journal Podcast will continue to operate as part of the new Overland Collective Also, as part of this collective, is the XOVERLAND Ranch This gathering point for the overland community which gives the Overland Collective a physical 500-acre location to run events and foster real-world community “Together, we will cultivate a content collective where overlanders can find inspiration, resources, and a sense of community,” said Clay Croft, XOVERLAND founder Clay Croft picked up a copy of Overland Journal magazine back in 2009 from a local dealership he has built one of the most respected brands in the overland industry and some of the most viewed overland video content ever made The XOVERLAND travel documentaries and video series are on such platforms as Netflix, YouTube Clay and Rachelle Croft founded the company in 2010 XOVERLAND has now stated it wants to build “the world’s largest and most authoritative overland media collective.” This acquisition and complements the video content and physical location that XOVERLAND already owns Clay Croft and Overland Journal and Expedition Portal founder Scotty Brady have developed a deep friendship It has been forged from mutual respect and shared experiences The duo have done expeditions around the globe together These include notable trips like the Road of Bones in Russia and the first south-to-north vehicle crossing of the Greenland Ice Sheet XOVERLAND has stated that it aims “to retain the editorial integrity of Overland Journal while expanding its reach to both international travelers and domestic overlanders.” That goal will likely be one of the new collective’s largest challenges as the XOVERLAND business model has been based on large partnerships with longtime sponsors Scott Brady will stay on as Executive Publisher and minority stakeholder to help ensure the high journalistic standards readers expect from Overland Journal Rachelle Croft will serve as the CEO of the Overland Collective while Clay Croft’s title will be Chief Creative Officer Scott Brady will be a part of the team as Executive Publisher “I’m honored and grateful to step into this journey with Overland Collective and a community that’s not afraid to push boundaries I couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead with you all.” This is what the Collective has to say about itself: “As the world’s largest overland community Overland Collective serves vehicle-based travelers through a diverse range of platforms including XOVERLAND video and film productions Overland Journal print and digital magazine the Overland Collective team has circumnavigated the globe four times and is the first in history to have crossed all seven continents by vehicle — and they are just getting started.” The epicenter of all

demolished to make way for a new Wareham Development R&D campus dubbed “EmeryStation V.” These buildings were most recently occupied by a variety of light industrial businesses and fitness studios Construction will eventually replace the three one-story buildings and surface parking with a new 5-level The contemporary Perkins & Will designed building is composed of glass and concrete and features several recessed terraces and an open courtyard where Horton intersects with 62nd The city council held a Public Hearing for the project back on July 19 This hearing was the culmination of six combined study sessions (three by the Planning Commission and three by City Council) as well as a tenant meeting The project required council review and approval in part because the proposed parking structure exceeded the zoning regulations that called for a maximum of 411 spots The Staff Report recommended approval of the building but denying the plan for parking spaces beyond these allowed 411 spots 2022 Public Hearing for the item can be viewed above from [53:21 – 1:48:10] Because of the height and FAR (floor area ratio) being pursued and the fact that it is a non-residential project, approval of the project would require 100 development bonus points outlined in the City’s Development Bonus System Wareham’s proposal to satisfy these requirements included: The open space would include a publicly accessible courtyard and an L-shaped “art walk” that would contain public art and be landscaped with planters and trees The project would also include several bicycle/pedestrian improvements, including a including the closure of Overland between 63rd and 64th and the addition of a linear park/diverter similar to what was recently installed at 53rd “Realistically, we could have redeveloped the entire block,” Wareham representative Brandon Northart of Urban Planning Partners noted in the applicant presentation “But we took the difficult route because we know how important these existing units are and how vital they are for the Bay Area and to Emeryville,” referring to the heritage of the building facing Hollis that includes loft units and the beloved Ruby’s Cafe Northart argued in favor of the need for the additional parking noting the limitations of the nearby Amtrak Station as a true commuter-serving transit agency and that the transit overlay that restricted the amount of parking was rather arbitrary Northart pointed out that if the project was just a block north the amount of spaces being sought would be 84 below the allotted number is actually quite an aggressive reduction over its need and is affirmed by these fact-based studies,” referring to a Fehr & Peers commissioned traffic study two were by City committee and Commission members advocating against the approval of the additional parking “What are we going to do with that building It’s not specifically designed to be converted into something else than it is going to sit there until it is destroyed at great cost to the environment,” argued then BPAC member Jordan Wax noting that the garage would eventually be obsolete as autonomous car technology replaces personal vehicle usage City Council showed overall positive sentiment and support for the project especially recognizing the value of its affordable housing components and extensive infrastructure improvements The council expressed appreciation for the applicant’s collaboration and the opportunity to quickly deliver protected bike and pedestrian infrastructure mode shift for active transportation does not come from denying parking garages It comes from providing infrastructure,” former Councilmember Ally Medina provided in support of approval of the project “I want to commend the applicant for having the willingness to work with us beyond the scope of the footprint of this project to help really buy-in and see the vision we have for creating a greater and more connected community,” added then-Mayor John Bauters, referencing other nearby in the works infrastructure projects like the addition of a bike-pedestrian bridge over I-80 near Ashby Council unanimously approved the project with some small amendments Despite the project now being fully entitled putting a shovel in the ground is not necessarily imminent “It wouldn’t benefit anyone to have an empty building,” Wareham partner Geoff Sears noted qualifying that moving forward and the demand for life science space was “steeped in reality.” Sears expressed concern of the recent direction of the Federal Government and its reluctance to invest in research and science particularly in academic institutions like neighboring U.C “It’s not smart to turn your back on fundamental research.” “We are positioning ourselves to be ready for a positive economy that we all will hopefully see sooner than later.“ Sears noted the strength in the US has always been it’s ability to innovate and Pharmaceutical research and manufacturing is one that California has been particularly good at at “We still believe in having a long-term vision,” Sears added We’ve mapped out all of Emeryville’s

Business A first-of-its-kind surgical simulation lab is now open in Overland Last Saturday, MaxFi cut the ribbon on what is billed as the world’s only medical training center that uses reanimated cadaver technology. MaxFi, which got its start in Columbia, Missouri, uses a proprietary perfusion system that makes cadavers bleed, breathe, and feel like live patients, as SLM writer Drew Gieseke reported last year The simulations offer a big step forward for medical device development and for the training of surgeons and military doctors who tend to traumatic injuries—revolutionary work that will be done in the heart of the St Louis Business newsletter to get the latest insights sent to your inbox every morning MaxFi CEO Bob Mills says the lab’s location at 1918 Innerbelt Business Center was strategically chosen to put visitors and trainees close to the airport and within a short drive to hotels and restaurants in Clayton The facility features a classroom in the front of the building for didactic training changing rooms where physicians can step into their scrubs “We’ve had it built out with the surgical equipment and everything you need for simulating a procedure,” Mills says and also prepare some of the tissue that we use during the procedure in the lab.” Why It Matters: Mills says the lab has piqued the interest of industry partners who are eager to test and develop their products in St We need an education center here in the Midwest,’” Mills says We’re really proud of the fact that we already did a product development lab with a company from Europe and we spent Friday and Saturday working with them on a new heart device and they couldn’t have been more pleased with the facility They stayed in Clayton—it was convenient to the airport—they went to a ballgame This will be a jewel for people from around the country to come to.” What’s Next: MaxFi continues to innovate on various simulation models, one of the newest of which is the envivoCor. Put simply: it brings a cadaver’s heart back online, mimicking the cardiac functions of a living person. “It’s an actual human heart that beats in a box,” Mills says. “It’s really incredible.” —Mike Miller Listen Here Listen Here Listen Here Listen Here BUSINESS NEWSLETTER Subscribe to the St. Louis Business newsletter to get the latest insights sent to your inbox every morning.

was upgraded with Overland AI’s OverDrive software stack and OverWatch tactical interface to enable autonomous operation Overland AI integrated its ground autonomy capability including the company’s OverDrive software stack and SPARK hardware infrastructure into the General Dynamics Small Multipurpose Equipment Transport (SMET) Army Soldiers from the 27th Engineer Battalion 20th Engineer Brigade trained directly on Overland’s system during PC-C5 and maintain the fully autonomous platform The demonstration included two payload integrations: a trailer equipped with a mine-clearing UAS designed for breaching lanes and a Stratin Engineering-developed drone launcher mounted on the SMET to deploy small attritable drones Overland AI’s autonomy enables tactical operators to seamlessly integrate multiple payloads into ground platforms including this UAS designed for breaching lanes that is being towed with an Overland-designed autonomous hitch “Soldiers independently and successfully operated our ground autonomy for two consecutive weeks during Project Convergence Capstone 5,” said Byron Boots co-founder and chief executive officer of Overland AI “Breaching exercises continue to demonstrate the maturity of our capability and the tactical benefit of removing humans from some of the most dangerous missions.”Overland AI directly supported the Sandhills Project’s objective while enabling distributed operations across a breach The 20th Engineer Brigade has taken possession of the upgraded SMET vehicle for continued experimentation with Overland AI providing field support and a software license per contract PC-C5 is a cornerstone of the Army’s persistent experimentation campaign and focuses on evaluating next-generation warfighting capabilities including cross-domain operations in the INDOPACOM theater The Overland AI ground team onsite included experts across hardware integration Overland AI continues to advance the state of ground autonomy for defense having previously secured an $18.6 million contract with the U.S Army and Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) to develop autonomy software for the Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV) program To learn more about Overland

decade of advanced research in robotics and machine learning to deliver advanced autonomy for unit commanders Hazardous missions in austere and electronically denied environments demand that this technology is reliable and resilient Overland AI’s SPARK autonomy upfit and OverDrive stack enable ground vehicles to navigate off-road without GPS or direct operator control The company built its fully autonomous tactical vehicle in-house by integrating SPARK and OverDrive into a modular and attritable platform that is currently in production to provide commanders with the precise coordination of autonomous ground systems that is vital for complex missions to succeed Overland AI has achieved the end-to-end integration of ground autonomy and is putting this capability into the hands of tactical operators today https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/e99b9786-0852-4077-9c8b-6f28b7d500d5 As an increasing number of adventure riders take their tales to the written page One of the aspects of the four-year journey that makes Pat’s story a little different than most is that he What makes this an unusual scenario is that this profession doesn’t normally lend itself to the vagabond nature of motorcycling RTWers What else separates this book from the pack a project that was clearly more than just a whim with a lot to offer across many different interests the aspect of exploring the world via motorcycle is the principle theme but it also orients the reader to life on the road the love affair between these two extraordinary people and their ever-evolving philosophical outlook of the world because perhaps that’s what’s most compelling about world travel… the net result of constant interaction with the people One might say that the goal of overlanding is to reshape life and rewire world consciousness by chipping away at the misunderstandings and propaganda that tends to separate us all.. that’s the odd thing about books of this nature the specifics of where the author travels often seem unimportant when compared to the insight gained “Giving to beggars is not always the best redistribution of wealth We have all heard the horror stories of organized begging syndicates in places like India where the desperate and poverty-stricken are deliberately mutilated to improve their earning capability showing one’s money can lead to a near mobbing one has the feeling of opportunists simply taking advantage of your white skin and embarrassed naivety they were proud men—it was just that now they had no legs We found ourselves changing a number of dollars each day into wads of small notes for the express purpose of giving to beggars In the markets we found ourselves buying their postcards just to give them something—pathetic perhaps but if the individuals’ expressions were anything to go by they didn’t think so.” Written by folks who are out there with grit in their teeth Firsthand observations on what life is REALLY like out there I’m often surprised that anyone could read a book like this and not have the immediate and uncontrollable urge to sell off everything to get out there and do the same This wonderful work fits the category of “page turner” in every way Website: TheWorldOverland.com | Also available on Amazon Publisher: Matador (Troubador Publishing Ltd.)
