Verbellion is a design concept for a mobile game that strengthens vocabulary skills through narrative, practice, and play. Targeting teenage gamers, the platform features language as a key interactive element, combining verbal communication with industry-leading gameplay techniques that culminate in a fun and informative entertainment experience.
In the game, the evil corporation LexiCo has seized the public consciousness, striking thousands of words from existence and imprisoning millions in ignorance. The player takes the role of an escapee who's fled to the desert and joined a band of rebels fighting to keep the power of words alive. The resistance (and the player's verbal skills) are strengthened through three interlinked gameplay modes: Story, which introduces the player to new vocabulary through a visual novel; Training, which uses vocab minigames to boost performance and retention over time; and Strategy, a high-stakes test to prove verbal mastery once and for all.
Information is at an all time high, but understanding seems to be unreasonably low. Counter is a platform that hopes to solve parts of the understanding problem. The platform offers a place for people to discuss topics and stories while the information they provide is fact checked. Users can participate in discussions ranging from 'the efficiency of solar energy' to breaking news about 'military involvement in Syria'. These discussions hold information that has been collected and organized by users. Counter features a unique system where the users in a discussion will be given a score based on how many articles they look at in that topic. This means that users who look at more information will be more informed, and their arguments and votes will have a higher impact. Unlike social media, Counter encourages people to look at both sides of the story. Hopefully this puts people in the mindset to pop their affirmation bubbles and to explore different perspectives.

Vite-MedEmerg initiates a comprehensive service design for first aid around drone technology. We use the drone to deliver emergency medical equipment and other supplies for patients when they suffer a heart attack, hypertension, or chest pain — or for disaster victims who have trouble escaping. Our drones are piloted with a quick response system to shorten the arrival time and to increase survival chances before any rescue vehicles and personnel provide treatment.
Our vision is to improve current emergency infrastructure with a network of drones capable of saving lives at over 100 kilometers per hour. An ambulance drone is not affected by current road infrastructure, and is capable of flying in a straight line, bringing down the average response time compared to an ambulance from 10 minutes to 1.
The problem of homelessness is a multifaceted, systemic issue and temporary measures cannot solve chronic societal problems. This project isn't an attempt to resolve such a complex issue; some people have dedicated their whole lives exploring this topic. However, this is a microscopic glimpse at one particular program here in Columbus, Ohio.
This project was inspired by the desire to improve the efficiency and motivation of the many people (both employees and guests) at the YMCA Homeless Program. It started off as a service design to help the experience of the guest and ended up as a discovery about the importance of the employee's jobs. The goal was then modified to re-energize the attitudes and goals of the employees so that they saw themselves more as a family working towards a unified goal rather than a business. This energy would improve the quality of experience at the YMCA Homeless Program and any other human service organization so that everyone can "build healthy spirit, mind and body for all".
Hydro Café and Garden Market is a fresh start to a healthier and more sustainable community in Franklinton, Ohio. This project aims to alleviate the economic and social issues by supplying nutritional food to a neighborhood that has no grocery stores. The renovated building will be filled with produce grown with indoor hydroponic farming. Hydroponics is a sustainable, labor-efficient method to grow small crops in an urban setting. Less light and pesticides are needed to grow the plants indoors because they are not exposed to the harsh outdoor environment. The market will cater to the residents who live next door in Franklin Station, a residential community that houses adults with disabilities, and adults who have experienced homelessness. These residents will have access to cooking classes, community dinners and jobs.
Opioids are the second most used drug in the Columbus, behind alcohol. Heroin and prescription opioids are more available than they have ever been. Franklinton has the second most deaths from opioid overdose in Columbus, with 72% of those being males with the majority age between 30-39 years old.
With these deaths leaves single mothers and their children to provide for themselves. They also may not be able to cope emotional and mental struggles that come with the loss of a partner/spouse, as well as being the sole provider of their family.
A wellness center can help restore the area by providing resources and jobs that help families have a better quality of life.

Neurodiversity is the diversity of the human brain. It includes differences such as ADHD, Asperger's, Autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, Tourette Syndrome, etc. There are millions of people in our communities who have divergent brains. What is available for these students in schools does not address all the students' social, emotional and cognitive needs.
The design challenge for this project was to rehab an existing building in Franklinton, Ohio to address the needs of the local population. In Franklinton, "37% of households" are below poverty level. Neurodivergent students in this neighborhood face the challenges of poverty, and sometimes neglect and abuse on top of a diagnosis, exacerbating issues and symptoms.

Founded in 1797, the Franklinton community has a lot of historic relevance to Columbus, Ohio. It is for this reason that it is so sad to see the neighborhood declining in value over time. There are many efforts trying to be made to revitalize this community, but much of it comes from outside sources that do not have the native residents' best ideas at heart. Part of the problem here is the poverty levels, which occur due to lack of work for residents. It is possible that this is partly due to the lack of education or job training for residents.
Looking at the local school systems, which are some of the worst in the entire city of Columbus, and the potential correlation to the lack of mentorship opportunities for kids beyond primary school, it may be important to address these issues starting with students at the age where they are making big decisions that are impacting the rest of their lives.

ALIS 01, the first generation outer space laundry system will enable astronauts to wash their clothes in a micro-gravity environment taking into consideration the scarcity of resources in space, with the goal of improving hygiene as well as reducing the amount of waste that is generated during the supporting period of a space mission.
Currently, pounds of clothes are being shipped to space periodically to supply up to six astronauts at a time. Each pound can be estimated to cost 10,000 dollars to ship, and these clothes are discarded as waste after a certain amount of reuse.
ALIS is a three part system that is designed to wash clothes in space as well as improve organization and clothing storage at the International Space Station and potentially inside of a traveling rocket.
After dirty clothes ready to be discarded, astronauts will fold them and placed inside of washable garment bags that will store them orderly until a load is ready to be processed. When a load is ready, a user profile can be selected to automatically determine the duration of a cycle and the water and detergent requirements. The washer and drier are able to process a load automatically after a user selection is made, and the astronaut will be free to continue on with more important tasks. After a full cycle is completed astronauts will be able to take ready-to-use washed and dried clothes into their crew quarters for storage.
The process of caring for minor wounds in a non-medical setting can be frustrating due to the time it takes to access and apply the bandage. First aid kits quickly become cluttered with miscellaneous items which makes it difficult treat a wound. The market for first aid items is over saturated with products that come individually wrapped. This means that selecting and accessing options for proper care takes time away from treating the wound.
The goal of my product is to simplify the process of bandage application for a person with a minor wound in a non-medical environment. ON AID is simple to use and easy to restock. The bandage uses a continuous micro pattern with the cotton, adhesive and polymer evenly dispersed along a continuous roll. The dispenser releases the bandage, while rolling away the excess paper that keeps the bandage sanitary. The bandage can be customized to all wound sizes for optimal coverage and protection.
This is a work in progress animation that explores how a character who interacts with an area and plane as if they are part of the same reality of the audience may increase empathy.It also focuses on providing an immersive space where the viewer may become a bystander in the story. One of the most significant challenges with this project is making the immersion feel natural and not distract from the story. To do this, I am exploring ways to direct the viewer through the space by controlling the direction of the sound, color, and placement of images on each panel. A more successful aspect of the experience is when a viewer can focus on one animatedaction while being immersed in a consistent view of the scene. The work on exhibit is a combination of completed, test, and storyboard panels.
I grew up in Hanoi, Vietnam. The city has witnessed, through its past pervaded with wars and destruction, many chapters of re-making and re-identifying the city by drawing from its heritage and adapting modernization. As a 90s kid, I grew up in a crucial time as the city began to transition from communism toward capitalism. While assimilating and adapting to new sociopolitical conditions, the people have shown a strong attachment to traditions in the way they organize their habitat by restructuring their surroundings to appear closer to the desired living state. This project reimagines, via the unique lens of computer animation, a specific part of the city, the communal housing community of Hanoi. As a spatial narrative, the film invites the audience to become a dweller in a communal apartment as it comes to life with movements and to witness the confrontation, negotiation and reconciliation between tradition and modernity. The project promotes thinking of community, the contradictions that exist in and out of established societies, the troubles of urban development, as well as my personal responsibility in preserving this heritage.
This research is a designerly investigation of interactive data visualization systems, methods, and techniques, guided by a practice-led research process, case study applications, and qualitative user research. Methods of creating effective data visualizations were practiced, to present multi-layered, complex information, with large applications.
Syria's ongoing conflict has a complex background involving the country's political issues and economical resources. War and military activities have long term impact, leaving a toxic footprint in the environment, which should be of global concern.
There were 4 different design coding including the use of color, node-link connections, icons, distributed nodes, and geospatial locations. Color was used to identify the types of "Industrial Sites" and how the impact was spread around the country. Color coding connected the type of site, what kind of chemical is released from the site, and what type hazard risks did it cause.
I wondered what a piece of theatre might look like if media design was the forethought of all the choices made throughout the development process. How can media and performance enhance and inform one another? As a result, I came up with the performance medium I call Storybook Cinema. Storybook Cinema is media driven live performance presented in a storybook time like atmosphere. The media is a combination of computer-generated imagery and prerecorded green screen performance. These elements are composited together to create a cinematic virtual set the live performer can interact with as well as inform the audience visually.
I want visitors to feel free to sit close to the media. The word "Storybook" in Storybook Cinema does not necessarily mean a physical book, but rather the setting and the magical quality of reading a storybook. The spatial relationship the audience has with the media helps to create a more personal experience. The confluence of mediums, collaborators and processes creates a piece of performative art titled Undark.
My thesis research was inspired by a close friend (and practicing Physical Therapist) who felt that many patients were non-adherent to home exercise treatment. Adherence to a home-based exercise program is necessary for successful rehabilitation, as musculoskeletal issues require consistent training to correct. Nonadherence is especially concerning for Seniors, as poor mobility can drastically affect independence and quality of life. Through exploring the topic of adherence, I found that many seniors who participate in home-based exercise, often perform their exercises incorrectly. Physical Therapy exercises are designed to target specific muscles, so incorrect performance will either bring no benefit or may incite further injury. My thesis process diagram outlines the research steps and key findings which dove this investigation, culminating in a set of design criteria to guide future technological development. The other images show some data from the workshop sessions: homework answers, priority charts and a technology bullseye.
The purpose of this research was to utilize co-design thinking to investigate and understand the experiences of veteran students entering into college at The Ohio State University (OSU) after military service, and to assist the university in improving those transition experiences. The research significance is that an increasing number of post-9/11 era veterans are utilizing the educational benefits earned through their service. Many of these service members have spent years inside a military culture, which has inadequately prepared them for a transition to the civilian and academic environments.
Although it is not true across the entire population of veteran students, the research conducted showed that many sought opportunities for improved social integration programs. Opportunities lie in finding a balance between the culture that veteran students share, and integration into the civilian culture they are now part of. Additionally, veteran students could benefit from additional support in regards to academics and logistics when navigating through OSU.
I am interested in the composition of a form that blends cinematic animation, interactive media, and literature in a complementary way, and the development of a logical structure that can inform the analysis and construction of narrative regardless of medium. My approach is rooted in the established philosophies of the mediums, understood through a common logical linguistic form developed by J.L. Austin. The theory and approach are explored through the creation of a thesis project, Tuba-Goose, which is a user driven animation with qualities of a bedtime story. The text, animated characters, and live action in Tuba-Goose share a platform through camera movement, turning pages, and touch screen in a way that I am working to compile seamlessly and coherently. The final product is intended as an emotionally complex artifact that children and parents will find meaningful to share together. My research yields revelations into narrative creation and analysis on platforms that have yet to be envisioned.
This video projection features animated elements and surround sound that highlight compositional and narrative components in Thomas Cole's five paintings in The Course of Empire series. These paintings feature the rise and fall of an unnamed civilization and contain hidden allusions, relations, and commentary; much of which is likely never observed with the naked eye.
I make use of digital and interactive media to reveal things that I have not or cannot see. Through making and play processes with digital tools, I can observe these paintings through a new lens to generate new inquiry surrounding the artworks' narrative and compositional elements. With this method, I synthesize a deeper understanding of Cole's work.
This multisensory digital artifact is embedded with my process and understandings to provide an opportunity to engage with Cole's work in an unconventional way.


What Foods Make Acne Worse?
Acne is a skin condition that causes inflamed red lesions, blackheads and pustules, more commonly called zits, to form. Acne typically appears on the face and shoulders but can also be found on the trunk, arms, legs and even buttocks. Acne can affect individuals of any age, including infants. Acne can be troublesome and embarrassing. Diet can play a significant role in the development and prevention of acne because some foods can make this skin condition worse.
The type of fat you consume is a key factor in your acne control. Saturated and partially hydrogenated fats can cause damage to the body tissues and inflammation, resulting in pustule and cyst formation. Saturated fats are solid at room temperature and are primarily found in animal products. These include whole milk, cheese and red meat. Partially hydrogenated fats come from fried food, chips, cookies, crackers and other prepackaged foods. Both of these fats should be avoided and replaced with omega-3 fatty acids from flax seeds and cold-water fish as well as omega-6 fats from vegetable oils.
Eating a variety of foods, including adequate amounts of protein, healthy fats and carbohydrates will help fight acne. The consumption of simple or refined sugars can lead to acne. When you consume foods high in refined sugars such as white bread, white flour, baked goods and processed foods, your blood sugar will rise, setting off a series of hormonal changes known to cause acne. These foods can also lead to excessive weight gain.
You should limit foods that raise your body's temperature. Garlic, coffee, peppers, salsa, chili, hot sauces and other spicy foods should be avoided. Spicy foods may help flush your system, but some people have difficulty digesting such foods. Eating hot and spicy foods may cause a reaction within your body, leading to inflammation of the skin.
Iodine is found in many foods, including liver, milk, cheese, salt, kelp, commercial bread, clams, crabs, seafood and processed foods. It is associated with acne, and you should avoid it to prevent acne breakouts. When you consume too much iodine, the excess is excreted through the body's oil glands. As it is excreted, iodine irritates the pores of the skin, causing inflammation, red splotches and bumps. This is especially true if you are prone to acne and skin problems.

When I picked up This Love is Not for Cowards by Robert Andrew Powell for the second time in my life this year, I had no idea that Rory Smith of The New York Times had called it his "gold standard for soccer books." But I'm not surprised -- it's the best book I'd ever read.
Powell spends a season following the Liga MX club Indios de Ciudad Juarez as it fights an uphill battle to avoid relegation to the second division while the drug trade and violence boil over in the border city. The city constantly makes national and international headlines for three reasons: murder, kidnapping, and human trafficking.
And yet people still live in Juarez, love the city, and support the Indios. The city isn't separated from the Mexican mainland, but it might as well be -- the closest club in Liga MX lies 800 kilometers south through the desert. This isolation from the rest of the country creates a unique border culture in Juarez, the most dangerous city in the world.
The more I write, the less I'm going to do it justice so I'll just say that when I read the book again a few months ago, it proved exactly as good as my first read in 2012. Powell uses the Indios and the "El Kartel" supporters' group as the medium to explore Juarez, but it's so much more of a work about culture and people than just soccer.
It's the most human piece of writing I've ever read.
Powell has written two other books: We Own This Game: A Season in the Adult World of Youth Football and Running Away, but the soccer world knows him for his time in Juarez. I have to admit that I felt unsure about reaching out to Powell because, as someone I looked up to, he existed in my mind as a kind and inquisitive person who tries to tell everyone's story as accurately as possible. I didn't want to find out that the author of my favorite book was an asshole or something -- never meet your heroes, right?
I'm glad I did, though because our one-hour call exceeded all of my expectations. I could talk to Powell about anything for any amount of time. The interview went so well that I have to split it up into two parts because it's so long. Check back for part 2 tomorrow. And if you haven't read the book, buy it right now.
Evan Ream: I read This Love is Not For Cowards when I was in college and honestly I couldn't believe that anyone would move to Juarez and write a book about it. You say in the book that you basically moved there because you were broke or because you didn't understand how people moved in the murder capital of the world but...how did you actually end up in Juarez?
Robert Andrew Powell: Well the joke is that a lot had to go wrong for me to end up in Juarez. The original idea that landed me in Juarez was actually to follow Athletic Bilbao, go to Bilbao and embed with them. It was sort of this idea that I had, I'd read an article in The New York Times about them being the Basque team, which I guess a lot more people knew than I did. For weird circumstances, I'd been living for four months in Boise, Idaho and thought that there could be a story here. I just had that instinct, I could go to Spain and tie it into something in Boise. It was just this idea and then I went to Vancouver briefly but then decided that I had to go back to Miami. I needed somewhere to live, I'd done a project in Colorado that was over so I decided to move back to Miami but a friend said that I really needed to improve my Spanish if I was going to do that. So then I decided to study in Barcelona but I found out the (cost of living in) Barcelona. So I ended up in Puebla, Mexico, which was 15 times cheaper, just for a month. While I was in Puebla, I had to read the papers every day -- I didn't even know Puebla existed, much less that it was the fourth-largest city in Mexico, I knew nothing. It was interesting to me how little I knew about Mexico, that's sort of where the idea of that started to grow. Juarez seemed unreal, it was the lead story every day and they would show all these pictures of bodies and blood and I just wondered, "what the hell was going on?" I happened to be reading Joan Didion at the time, reading Slouching Towards Bethlehem, where she spent a lot of time in San Francisco in 1969. She said, "I didn't even know what I was looking for there, I just knew that I wanted to look." I was like, "I really want Joan Didion to go to Juarez, and tell the story of Juarez." That's really what it was, I wanted her to visit Juarez and read what she had to say about Juarez, but she's in her 80s and she's not going to go to Juarez. So that brought the idea of, well, maybe I'm going to go to Juarez. So then right before I left my short month in Puebla, I read on a soccer blog about Marco Vidal in Juarez. That just set everything off. Here is an American living in Juarez by choice. It's soccer so I can imbed with a team, which was this idea that I had been sort of floating around with Athletic Bilbao. And I had learned a bit about Juarez, which had just fascinated me, and Joan Didion wasn't going to go there. All this came together. In my very first draft of the Juarez book, I wrote that Joan Didion wasn't going to go there so I did, and the editor was like, "you have to take this out, you can't compare yourself to Joan Didion." It is the initial idea, which has to be some naïveté and cockiness at the time. I did feel like I could be the right guy to talk about Juarez, and apparently I was.
Ream: I want to get to the book and Juarez, but I don't know anything about your background in soccer, do you have one?
Powell: I played it -- that and ice hockey were my two sports. I wasn't great. No one ever took me seriously but I played it and enjoyed it. So I know soccer. Being a bit older than you, when I was growing up, there was no soccer on TV -- it was a real niche sport. It wasn't covered and there wasn't the internet. Now, soccer has kind of bumped all the other sports in my diet. I watch soccer all the time now.
Ream: The reason why I ask is because in the book, you're not really writing about soccer, you're writing about people and culture. Soccer is just the constant in people's lives that allowed you to form a narrative.
Powell: The reason why soccer works was soccer was something I could understand, I know soccer. I know how to follow sports. The team was named the Indios, which made me think of the Cleveland Indians and I was like, "how can this city, being so crazy, have a professional sports team in their city called the Indians?" That made me think that there had to be more to Juarez than just the murder. The fact that I didn't know the answer to even the most basic questions was the real attraction to me, it's one of the most beautiful things about it, because you can learn stuff. I know that there's millions of Americans that know a ton about Mexico and plenty of Americans who knew about Juarez and the border, but I knew nothing. Nothing. I grew up in Chicago and there's a sizable Mexican population. My high school had a large Mexican population, on my high school soccer team we spoke Spanish. And then in Miami, where I've lived most of my life, there really isn't a Mexican population at all. I knew nothing about the border and that's another reason why I wanted to go, because I wanted to learn about this place.
Ream: How hard was day-to-day life in Juarez? You said that the part that really scared you was when you began to feel like it was just an inconvenience when someone was murdered. You were prescribed Xanax...I can't even imagine.
Powell: The day-to-day life, for the most part was notably mundane. It was notably normal. When I first crossed over, I was so paranoid, I was so nervous. I think my first day I was walking around Juarez looking for an apartment, looking at the downtown area. When I was done, I realized that I spent the entire day assuming I was going to get shot. I didn't, and almost nobody did. I didn't see any murder but I was so paranoid. Then, you just start living your day-to-day (life). You're paying your bills, you're going to work -- and this was the easiest work ever, I'd just go to a soccer practice and watch. I didn't have to file a daily brief or anything, I was just hanging around the soccer team and going to lunch. But it was a structure and kind of a job, I'd take notes. You just get immersed in your day-to-day and in your day-to-day, it's pretty normal. I had to pay bills, I would watch TV, I would talk to friends. You lose sight of the murder and that's part of what attracted me, I mean, how could there be a soccer team there? It didn't seem possible that anyone could even be living a normal life in Juarez and I don't think it would be accurate to call what anyone was living in Juarez a "normal life." It's just how people learned to cope with the changes. I think that's just something humans do, we recalibrate what's normal. I think COVID shows that. I never thought I'd be stuck at home for a year, but I have been like everyone else.
Ream: How did you embed with the team? I feel like a lot of people could do this with lower division sides or maybe even some MLS teams, but Liga MX is the biggest league in North America. How do you even say, "hey, I'm going to do this and you can trust me."
Powell: Again, you have to have a lot of naïveté. If I had really thought about it, I couldn't pull it off. But by not knowing how hard it was, I pulled it off. What I did was I just wrote them, I had been writing as a freelancer for the New York Times for a couple of years and I had clips so I never mentioned the Times, but in the modern age, everyone Googles you and as soon as they did, The New York Times came up. So I ran with that. I wasn't going to dissuade them from thinking the best of me. So that's how I got the initial meeting. And then for the meeting, a friend of a friend of a friend from Colorado, a nurse, hooked me up in Juarez with her son, who spoke absolutely no English, took me around. We got it done. I spoke enough Spanish that we got it done, but it was just bumbling and awkward. I'm sure after my first meeting with the press people -- there was only a two person press staff at the Indios -- I'm sure they thought, "who the fuck is this weirdo?" But I did it and asked for permission to come to practice and they said, "sure." And then I just started showing up to practice. One of the upsides of being an American was that I didn't have any competition. I was the only one. There were some local reporters and there was no one else. That very fact was also scary, it was like, "what the fuck, there's no one else here. Am I the only one who thinks this is interesting? Are my instincts wrong?" The whole time was just so great. I always remember after one game, an important game, a home game, when El Kartel got to their bar and we were just hanging out afterwards, I just remember feeling jazzed and feeling really excited that I was there and really excited that a lot went wrong in my life to be in Juarez as a full time job and that my previous book didn't work out. Living there, I really felt like it was a great story, and I was in the middle of it. So even though it's clearly a horror story, professionally it was very interesting. I guess I understand why some people become war correspondents and get addicted to that because you get this heightened sense of being alive. I loved it, I loved the whole experience of it.
Ream: Did anyone who appeared in the book read it? Do you know how your work was received?
Powell: One thing in book writing, and I learned this with my first book project, which I completed many years before. That covered the black community in Liberty City, Miami, it's a book more about the political dynamics of Miami than it is a book about football. There was this guy who was doing a documentary film at the same time and when he would show up with his cameras, everybody would bounce and everybody would smile and want to be on camera and joke around. Just showing up every day, people ignored me -- even if I was writing a book, it wasn't going to come out for two years. And that's a really good thing. People just didn't ever see that there was going to be an end product and weren't concerned in the slightest. (People in Juarez have) read it now. El Kartel didn't like it at first but now they like it. It's hard to be written about, I think you've seen enough. There's always the initial reaction of, "hey this isn't me," and then later, "yeah, that's me." Marco Vidal liked it a lot but he didn't like that I made fun of him for wearing Ed Hardy. He got traded to a team in Puebla and I went to go visit him and his wife and he took me into the guest room and his bedspread was an Ed Hardy bedspread. He was so clearly embarrassed to show me that. I found it funny that he was into Ed Hardy, but he was into it with honest enthusiasm. But he got a kick out of being in the book. Herculez Gomez, who only got a sentence, loved being in the book. People enjoy being written about. To me it's just day-to-day, I don't think about it, but for Marco, it was a big deal.
Ream: Indios ended up folding but there have been a couple of teams in Juarez who have followed. Have you followed any of them, like the current Liga MX squad Bravos de Juarez, which has a horrible logo by the way.
Powell: I totally agree about the logo. I don't like the name either. The woman who runs it had a contest to name the team and I had a chance to talk to her. She said, "we love the name, it's very organic, it came from the people." And of course the people had voted for "Indios" and "Bravos" came in fourth, but that's the name she wanted so she went with "Bravos." I can live with the name because of the Rio Bravo, so it's not so horrible, but the logo is weird. But the team, I'm glad they exist. They seem to be really bad again. The cycle continues and the door's open for someone else to go with the Bravos. I'm glad they still have a team. I enjoy seeing them pop up on Google and that the city is back in the discussion.
Ream: I'm from the Sacramento area and to get anyone to play for the NBA team here, the Kings have to essentially pay more than market value because it's not considered a desirable destination for the players. I have to imagine it's similar in Juarez, but on a way larger scale because of the inherent dangers.
Powell: It was and it probably still is. I mean Juarez is still a violent city. The murder rate isn't anywhere near (what it was when I lived there) but the core problems remain. Murder is still effectively legal -- you're not going to get caught if you kill someone. It's harder to get caught than it is to get caught doing steroids in Major League Baseball -- there's a very small chance. That still exists and that's still fascinating to me. Again, the murder rate is down, but it's still legal. This supports my whole theory that most people are good, most people aren't going to kill someone, even if they're allowed to. The core lessons that I got out of the book experience are not what I expected going in. I didn't expect to be roused by and encouraged by humanity. Juarez really was a hellhole in a lot of ways, but I liked it and I liked the people and I felt good about myself and about people from being there.

Mojave breaks boundaries at AV Business Conference
By Jack BarnwellCITY EDITORjbarnwell@ridgecrestca.com
MOJAVE — Mojave Air and Space Port's event center bustled with activity on Friday as business leaders, entrepreneurs and politicians alike gathered in the building that once housed California's largest indoor pool.
Antelope Valley's Board of Trade hosted its annual economic outlook conference, making it the first time it's debuted in a place outside the Lancaster/Palmdale area.
Two words marked the event: Sold out.
The hangar housing the event center filled to capacity as people gathered to hear the updates of the Antelope Valley and to glean information from retired astronaut Capt. Mark Kelly, commander of the final Space Shuttle Endeavor mission.
The 2014 conference outlook theme was "Breaking Boundaries," and that was what Mojave's importance was in the scheme of things.
"There's a crackle in Mojave," said Stu Witt, CEO of Mojave Air and Space Port.
Witt said that the conference's location in Mojave and Eastern Kern County this year "is not lost on us" and that it underscored the importance in the airport's mission as a place of innovation.
"We had a goal that if we were to complete this event center, our goal was to host the AV Board of Trade show in Mojave," Witt said. "We didn't know that the board of trade would come up with the same idea only five years sooner."
Witt said that when Al Hoffman, the AV Board of Trade's outlook conference chairman, approached Mojave, there was a promise that "you would sell out early and have a waiting list."
Witt said the explanation about the crackle in Mojave's air was true.
"The room that you are in today 72 years ago was the largest indoor pool in California … where every WWII Marine Corps ace received swim and parachute disentangling training," Witt said. He added that when Mel Langford, construction manager at Mojave Air and Space Port, took on the decision of whether to scrap the building, the airport took a risk.
"He said let's save it, it's hollowed ground and has a much higher calling," Witt said.
During a video presentation highlighting Mojave's successes and business potential, Witt said Mojave offered much potential.
"We have access to a piece of airspace that's a national treasure 200 nautical miles by 200 nautical miles," Witt said in the video. "I don't know of another place that has that type of geography in this industry … we have a decided advantage just because of our location right here in Mojave."
Another decisive advantage is the Aerospace Valley's refusal to say no to an idea.
"In the area, we have this cluster of talented and innovative people," Witt said in the presentation. "In a lot of ways they're still like fifth-graders ― they still don't know what they can't do, and so they're not afraid to try things. They try things every day that don't work in the hopes that they try things that do work."
Over the span of many years, Mojave has served as the launchpad for Virgin Galactic's testing of SpaceShip One and SpaceShip Two, and as home to many companies integrated into the commercial space flight, like XCOR (though it is set to move to Texas in the coming months).
The overall feel of the outlook conference was the viability of the Antelope Valley's success as a business-friendly and innovative place. Success was measured in taking risks and driving ambition, not only in job growth but addressing future energy needs.
Lancaster's mayor and vice mayor both spoke at the conference, highlighting the Antelope Valley city's goal to become self-sufficient and the center of solar energy over the next decade.
Kern County Second District Supervisor Zack Scrivner, who represents Mojave, said the airport's selection as the site of the AV Outlook Conference was a proud accomplishment, and drove home the success that Kern County is building upon in innovation.
"We're No. 3 in one of the strongest recovering regions in the United States, No. 9 in engineering jobs per capita, and No. 4 for science, technology, engineering and mathematics jobs as well," Scrivner said.
Scrivner said the success of Kern County and the Antelope Valley depended on economic diversity.
"Kern County has supported the cluster of industries needed for long-term sustainable growth," Scrivner said. Those industries include agriculture, aerospace, tourism and renewable energy.
"East Kern is cutting edge in the development of new technology," Scrivner said. "No other region even comes close." The assets and resources are here, Scrivner added, whether they were at Mojave, Naval Air Weapons Station, China Lake, or Edwards Air Force Base.
Renewable energy has a strong place in East Kern, Scrivner said, with the Board of Supervisors adopting a 10,000-megawatt goal by 2015.
"We are well on our way to exceeding that goal," Scrivner said.
Congressman Kevin McCarthy touched on the national economy, saying "despite what things look on the outside, things are getting better."
He added with the recent budget deal, more money is being invested into aerospace and potential for the aerospace valley, from Ridgecrest to Mojave, remains limitless.
"From that moment 60 years ago when we broke the sound barrier, we've never taken our eye off the sky," McCarthy said.
He said of all the places to be, the present provided the snapshot for the future.
"What people will be writing about for the next 100 years will happen here in the next 10 years," McCarthy said. "To me, what this valley has seen and what it has grown is at a pivotal point."
Capt. Mark Kelly, Ret., the keynote speaker and last Space Shuttle mission, said a lot of interesting things were happening at NASA, and in the aerospace community. The model may have changed, but the drive is the same. One example is the development of a commercial crew space vehicle, which would carry NASA astronauts on it.
"I think we're going in a good direction," Kelly said. "You're seeing that model right here in Mojave, where you have smaller aerospace companies trying to make a profit taking people and things into space."
He said he was confident that Virgin Galactic's attempts to get people into space would succeed.
"What happens then is it's going to be like the 1920s all over again with aviation and the destination will be space," Kelly said.

Interspecies Fight Club Offers Hope for Noble Crayfish
Astacus astacus is battling invasive species from one side and plague from the other. Researchers ran the numbers to predict which will come out on top.
By Sean MowbrayMar 6, 2022 6:00 AM

A plague, carried by invasive species originally from North America, has long decimated populations of Europe's noble crayfish (Astacus astacus) — now listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. Recent discoveries of noble crayfish resisting less virulent strains of the plague, however, have given scientists hope that the species may, in time, weather this pathogenic storm.
Don't celebrate just yet. The resistance also prompts questions of how the noble crayfish might fare against its invasive crayfish counterparts if the impact of the devastating plague is eventually neutralized. Could the invasives outmuscle the native species?
Naturally, in the search for answers, researchers staged a faceoff between A.astacus and two invasive species: the spiny-cheek crayfish (Faxonius limosus) and the white river crayfish (Procambarus acutus). By tracking which crayfish started a fight and logging wins and retreats, the researchers found that mature noble crayfish can indeed hold their own against these two invasives. The results of the wrestling tournament tentatively indicate that if the plague does ease off, noble crayfish "might still have a promising future when confronted with invasive species," the study's authors write in a paper published earlier this year.
You may be wondering why so much fuss is being made over a single species. "If our native crayfish disappear from freshwater ecosystems, this will lead to the waters becoming dirtier, because crayfish clean the water," says Kathrin Theissinger of the LOEWE Center for Translational Biodiversity Genomics in Germany, who was not involved in the study. "We will have less biodiversity in our freshwater ecosystems because some species just cannot exist without the crayfish."
Among the many hats the noble crayfish wears is that of "environmental engineer." It burrows holes, thus shaping freshwater ecosystems and providing habitats for other species. (And from an economic and cultural standpoint, the commercial value of A.astacus as a source of food is hard to beat; it's one of the most sought-after crayfish species thanks to its superior taste.)
Losing the noble crayfish — or other native species — is no minor issue.
Seeking a Bigger Picture
Though there may be some hope for noble crayfish to compete against invasives, caution is still required, says Ivo Roessink, a senior scientist at Wageningen Environmental Research in the Netherlands and primary author of the recent study. "We are fully aware that there are many more interactions. This is only one little finding."
In short, there are other factors — such as rate of growth or age of sexual maturity — that could determine whether invasive species outcompete native species. "This is only a snapshot of a certain part of the life stage of these animals and, in reality, it's much more complex," Roessink adds.
One other aspect that he and his team plan to investigate further is the influence of colder climates on the growth rate of native and invasive juveniles. "There's still quite some puzzling to do. But at least a few obvious pieces give a 'yay' for the native crayfish," he says.
"I think it's good to highlight potential positive developments," says Theissinger, though she also urges caution. "I think we must make really clear that this does not mean that it is not a problem to have invasive crayfish. It might have worked with the spiny-cheek crayfish, but it might not work for others."
Theissinger points to the example of the calico crayfish (Faxonius immunis), an invasive species that caused devastation in parts of Germany. "A few weeks or months after the calico crayfish reaches a water body, nothing lives there anymore. There's just a brown soup," she says. Studies also show that the signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) outcompetes native European species. There are thought to be at least 14 such invasive crayfish species across Europe.
A "Super-Duper Stupid Thing to Do"
Another ever-present issue is the crayfish plague. Even though researchers detected resistance to less virulent strains, other strains may still unleash mass mortality among populations. Japo Jussila, a researcher at the University of Eastern Finland who has studied the noble crayfish for several decades, sees the results of the newest study as a positive — but he doesn't see total eradication of the plague happening any time soon.
"There's a wide range of virulence within all the strains of crayfish plague that have been introduced to Europe," says Jussila. "And there's a wide range of different resistance among different native and alien crayfish stocks in Europe."
We know the plague is caused by Aphanomyces astaci, a kind of fungus. Back in the 19th century, it killed off crayfish populations primarily in Italy before making its way across all of Europe. In time, says Jussila, native species developed resistance to these early strains.
However, when North American crayfish — notably the signal crayfish — were introduced to replace dwindling native stocks in the 1960s, the invaders brought with them novel "killer" strains. Fast forward to today, and European crayfish populations have been decimated in the wild. Repeated introductions resulted in what Jussila and others describe as a "man-made ecological disaster."
Invasive crayfish introductions continue to occur, though the primary culprit is now considered to be aquarium owners who release their crayfish and inadvertently add new strains to freshwater systems.
Roessink's study offers a glimmer of hope for the future of the noble crayfish in the wild, yet considerable obstacles remain. There is no single solution. But experts agree on an initial step that can be taken to give the noble crayfish a fighting chance: the end of alien crayfish introductions. "This introduction of alien crayfish to Europe," says Jussila, "and together with their disease — the crayfish plague which has been introduced several times — is unfortunately a super-duper stupid thing to do."

The reason why JBL is the world leader, the authority.

Hello Lovers, it's been a while.
It's hard to believe it's been a few years since last I saw many of you. I am utterly overwhelmed by the positive messages and support I have received since stepping away from the crosswind. My fans are my life blood; the fabric we weave together intertwines with the music that courses through my veins and I am so very grateful.
I know I've been quietly promising new material for a really long time and I'm sorry it's taken longer than expected. Separated from the agenda and the greed and the necessary commercial gain that comes with surviving in the music jungle, there is no purer motivation for me than the sheer joy and colour of life, love, music and sharing stories.
That's what 'For the Love' is all about.
I know every artist says this when releasing a new album, but I can't think of a better way to describe it.... This one is different.
I've been away awhile and if you come to a show, I'll tell you all about why and where the road has taken me. Room to breathe allows for so many things; perspective, peace, a chance to face fears and discover truths. More than anything, it's given me the next chapter of my story and I can't wait to share it with you.
See you in a couple of weeks!!
"If you only focus on the peak and just how far away it is, the irresistible inclination is to feel completely overwhelmed and small. (I think we have all had a moment or ten like that at some point). The key is to always keep to peak in mind, but to focus on the road ahead; section at a time. Without the wonderful people in my life, there is no way I will have been able to make that happen."

With an abundantly fabulous array of theatres and art centres on the tour sheet, I simply can not wait to get out on the road play some new tracks for you all!
During the meet and greet after one of 2014's final shows, I had a chat with a lovely lady who brought a friend along to see the show for the first time. We were discussing my various releases and where I'd been playing the last few years and her friend's resounding reaction was, "gosh, you have been around a while; how is it possible I haven't heard your music until now?!"
I am so grateful to have the most wonderfully loyal fanbase and I am utterly elated at the prospect of meeting some new fans in 2015. So, if you missed out on the Snapshot tour or you find you're feeling a little out of the loop, myself and the team at GSMC have put together a little starter pack just for you!

With soundchecks and interviews and merchandise table decoration completed, there was an odd moment of calm for me... like being in the eye of a beautiful and entirely uncontrollable storm. This was it! Time to release my debut album to the world.
I was so excited to walk out there on stage, I could hardly breathe.
Antipodean Adventures
"It's a rare and beautiful occasion when a person is given the opportunity to fly across the globe and make music with the very people who ignited the musical flame within that person's heart during childhood.
I feel like the luckiest girl on Earth."
With the final touches being placed on Caddy's debut album in preparation for the Australian leg of her international launch tour, Caddy is thrilled to announce that the title of her debut album will be 'Snapshot'.
"This isn't a concept album. There isn't a particular time or place or target demographic that I want specifically to listen to this album. Each song is a snippet of a deeply interwoven story. A snapshot of life.
My only aspiration is that each person who picks up my album and listens to the stories within the songs can relate to one or two with their own experience somehow.
Like an old photograph or a poem; we each find meaning according to our own experiences. That's the kind of connection I'm looking for with Snapshot."
Snapshot will be released in Australia on the 28th of December, 2013 and in the UK on February 8th, 2014.
See Gig Dates for further details.
