In this episode of PhotoWork, host Sasha Wolf talks with the three recipients of the Foundation's inaugural Fellowship: Molly D'Arcy, Brandon Holland, and Will Suiter. They each share how the six-month mentorship impacted their artistic practice and what the experience meant to them personally. It's an honest and transparent peek into the evolving practices and processes of these three young artists. Molly D'Arcy is an American artist (b.1997) living and working in New England. She began making short films as a child, an interest which blossomed into a passion for darkroom photography. Her work centers around themes of journeying and destination. Spirituality has been part of her life since childhood and continues to play a central role in her photographic practice today. https://photowork.foundation/molly-darcy/ Brandon Holland is a New Orleans-born art and documentary photographer. His work is concerned with environment, kinship, blackness, and the delicate nature of things. He uses photography as a means of preservation and connecting with the world around him. He splits time working and living in Baltimore and New Orleans. https://photowork.foundation/brandon-holland/ Will Suiter is an artist working in photography, based in Humboldt County, California. He was born 1999 in the San Francisco Bay Area suburbs, and grew up sharing time between the urban SF Bay Area and rural Ozark Mountains in Arkansas. He moved to rural Humboldt County in 2017 to study forestry at Humboldt State University, and the isolated, remote geography and rural culture of the region has informed much of his work since. https://photowork.foundation/will-suiter/ This podcast is sponsored by picturehouse + thesmalldarkroom. https://phtsdr.com

Mel Harrison, originally from Ventura County in Southern California, has always been deeply connected to the natural world. Her passion for the outdoors blossomed while attending Humboldt State University in Northern California, where she immersed herself in environmental studies and outdoor activities. This led her to a variety of seasonal jobs, including work as a cave guide and wilderness ranger, experiences that further fueled her love for nature and conservation. Pursuing her interests, Mel moved to Eugene, Oregon, for graduate school, where she specialized in environmental studies with a focus on natural history writing. Her career path eventually took her to Jackson, Wyoming, where she fell in love with the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem. This newfound passion guided her to Montana, where she settled near Yellowstone National Park. In Montana, Mel has built a career around outdoor education, freelance writing, and blogging, particularly through her platforms "Traveling Mel" and "Yellowstone Trips." These outlets allow her to share her knowledge and love for Yellowstone, Montana, and family travel, while also promoting responsible tourism. Mel's adventurous spirit extended beyond Montana when she and her family decided to sell their home and embark on an almost three-year journey through Europe. Living in a new country each month, the family homeschooled their two young sons while Mel continued her work as a travel blogger and freelance writer. Their travels not only provided unforgettable experiences but also deepened their bond as a family. Returning to Livingston, Montana, just before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Harrison family seamlessly transitioned back to life in the U.S., thanks to their pre-existing homeschool and remote work lifestyle. Throughout the pandemic, Mel continued to thrive, finding new opportunities to write about responsible travel and outdoor activities. Today, Mel remains passionate about exploring the natural world and sharing her experiences with others. Whether she's planning a women's winter trip to Yellowstone, writing about her latest adventures, or simply enjoying the outdoors with her family, Mel continues to inspire others to appreciate and protect the environment.

In this tenth episode, host Emily Harwitz talks outreach and engagement—for nature and adventure—in a double-feature with Xiomara Batin, Outreach and Marketing Manager at GirlVentures, and Erika Granadino, Community Engagement Coordinator for the North Coast Redwoods District. How do you get people to come outside if they’ve never done it before? Hint: it starts with meeting people where they’re at. If you like talking to people, making connections, and telling stories, then today’s episode is for you! Xiomara Batin: Xiomara Batin is the Outreach and Marketing Manager at GirlVentures, an outdoor educational non profit based in Oakland, California. Xiomara has worked in a variety of educational institutions and non profit organizations with authentic engagement and genuine allyship at the center. Supporting communities that have had limited access to outdoor spaces due to historical barriers, is an integral area of importance to Xiomara and she feels passionate about being involved in advocacy in a variety of capacities. Find GirlVentures on Instagram @girlventures Erika Granadino: Erika was born in El Salvador and raised in the vibrant San Francisco Bay Area with her mother and sister. She graduated from Humboldt State University with a degree in Environmental Management and Protection, with a focus on Natural Resource Planning. For the past 4 years she has worked as an interpreter for California State Parks and the last year as the Community Engagement Coordinator for the North Coast Redwoods District, which has allowed her to exercise her passion and commitment to conservation and community engagement. Her favorite part about the work is getting to facilitate interpretive programs that connect people to parks, providing access, information, and inclusivity to their public lands. Promoting these places through interpretive programs gives hope that visitors will want to become stewards of these natural places, too. She feels lucky to be able to provide opportunities for people to connect with nature, helping them find meaning in what they are experiencing. In her downtime she enjoys cooking, going out to eat at a good restaurant, or getting some exercise. However, nothing compares to a good scenic hike on a sunny day. Find her on Instagram @erkbea

Growing season is in full swing across North America and on this episode we check in with two farmers who are brewing and will discuss what goes into making beers with ingredients grown from their own land. There is a bit of romanticism that goes into being a farmer. That and a lot of hard work. Add on a brewing career and there's suddenly a lot more to attend to. But there are also rewards. On this show listen in as two farmers who are also brewers talk about the ups and downs, how to read the land, and how to make flavorful beers with the current bounty. GuestsJacob Pressy of Humboldt Regeneration Brewery & Farm earned his BS in Environmental Science with a focus on Soil Science and Alternative Agriculture and a Minor in Botany with a focus on Mycology from Humboldt State University in 2010. His experiences living in Humboldt County combined with his educational path led him to be extremely passionate about Permaculture and regenerative agriculture. Working in the wine industry when he was younger gave him a strong interest in fermentation as well as the machinery involved which eventually lead him to working as the Assistant Brewer for Eel River Brewing Co from 2001-2009.After putting his two passions together, Humboldt Regeneration was born with a strong mission to promote regenerative land management practices using beer as a tool to reach the general public. The brewery opened in 2012 with a home-built 1bbl brew system and only a few tanks. He now operates on an artistic and efficient custom 2bbl, 4 vessel system nano-production system built by Jacob and a well known custom stainless steel fabricator who has been welding for over 60 years.The goal for Humboldt Regeneration Brewery & Farm is to work toward becoming a carbon-positive operation while spreading the word about permaculture and regenerative agriculture.Craig Deitz of Big Barn Brewery and Bodacious Berries Fruits and Brews. After a 32 years as a public school teacher, teaching biology, chemistry and physical sciences, As well as coaching track and cross-country. Deitz decided to put his homebrewing passion - a hobby he had enjoyed since the 1990s to professional use. He grew up on a farm, where the family grew fruits like cherries, peaches and applesThe brewery earned its license in 2012 and his initial goal was to grow and use everything in his beer that came from the farm.  Originally they grew five acres of malting barley in the first year but quickly realized the challenges that would entail actually malting their own grain. But they do have a couple acres of hops that they harvest and pelletize for their  beer. And they grow a variety of fruits that also make an appearance in the beers. The BYO Nano Podcast Episode 55  is sponsored by:Siebel InstituteIf you are ready to build your career in the brewing industry, the courses and programs from Siebel Institute of Technology and World Brewing Academy will give you the online or on-campus training you need.

Sunday Sermon given October 1, 2023 Prayer by Elizabether Hunter, Worship Associate https://firstparish.info/ First Parish A liberal religious community, welcoming to all First gathered 1739 About the Sermon: Most religious philosophies encourage us to seek the spiritual path by befriending fear. It's a choice that runs counter to some of our deepest instincts, and yet, if we can accept that we are not in control and also recognize that no one is alone, then perhaps, we can open our hearts to live more compassionately and courageously. About Rev.

Nathan Russell, CEO, CUSTOMPACKCO, The LabAfter graduating from Humboldt State University in 2012 with dual degrees in English and Botany with a focus on Ethnobotany, Nate managed some of the first large scale medical grows and extraction labs in Northern California that fed the early So-Cal dispensary market.As true operational legality remained in limbo, Nate left Northern CA and cultivated as a caregiver in Northern MI for several years, until he stepped away from cannabis, and build his first ‘legitimate' business: a music festival merchandise company, which sold lapel pins and apparel at events across the country.During that time, I spent extensive time developing manufacturing relationships in China and domestically, and launched a second business based on retail product design, manufacture, and logistics, ultimately producing merchandise and packaging for entertainment industry clients ranging from Kim Kardashian to the NCAA.As the cannabis market grew in legitimacy, Nate leveraged his relationships and staff to expanded his company's offering to include an array of packaging products for the cannabis industry. Several years later, CUSTOMPACKCO has expanded to offer a broad range of supply chain solutions to cannabis companies, including packaging development and production, branding, logistics and import, marketing support and promotional integrations.Most recently, Nate opened the doors to his new full-scale processing facility in Northern Michigan, The Lab, which offers white label, co-packing, and distribution services to the legal market in the state. The Lab's goal is to create a true end-to-end service model in which cultivators can focus on doing what they do best, while The Lab does all the dirty work of processing, packaging, warehousing and distributing productsOutside of his core mission of brand building in regards to clients, Nate is a firm believer in worker's rights, worker's value, and using the industry as a tool to right some of the wrongs brought on by prohibition.

Internet trolls live to upset as many people as possible, using all the technical and psychological tools at their disposal. They gleefully whip the media into a frenzy over a fake teen drug crisis; they post offensive messages on Facebook memorial pages, traumatizing grief-stricken friends and family; they use unabashedly racist language and images. They take pleasure in ruining a complete stranger's day and find amusement in their victim's anguish. In short, trolling is the obstacle to a kinder, gentler Internet. To quote a famous Internet meme, trolling is why we can't have nice things online. Or at least that's what we have been led to believe. In This is Why We Can't Have Nice Things, Whitney Phillips argues that trolling, widely condemned as obscene and deviant, actually fits comfortably within the contemporary media landscape. Trolling may be obscene, but, Phillips argues, it isn't all that deviant. Trolls' actions are born of and fueled by culturally sanctioned impulses--which are just as damaging as the trolls' most disruptive behaviors. Phillips describes, for example, the relationship between trolling and sensationalist corporate media--pointing out that for trolls, exploitation is a leisure activity; for media, it's a business strategy. She shows how trolls, "the grimacing poster children for a socially networked world," align with social media. And she documents how trolls, in addition to parroting media tropes, also offer a grotesque pantomime of dominant cultural tropes, including gendered notions of dominance and success and an ideology of entitlement. We don't just have a trolling problem, Phillips argues; we have a culture problem. This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things isn't only about trolls; it's about a culture in which trolls thrive.

In this episode of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted speaks with Sean Armstrong, Managing Principal at Redwood Energy.Sean has worked for 25 years in building electrification, designed the retrofit and new construction of more than 25,000 all-electric residences for disadvantaged populations, co-authored five practical guides to building electrification, provided legal and technical support to dozens of gas bans nationwide, helped develop the 2016, 2019, 2022, and 2025 Title 24 California Energy Codes, and has received sustainable design awards from the United Nations, the U.S. Department of Energy, and the SoCal Building Industry Association.He and Ted discuss his background, being a committed environmentalist since the age of 13, growing up in rural Wisconsin as genderqueer, moving to California to flee violence violence directed toward his sexuality, gender identity, and gender expression, and attending Humboldt State University, where he found his passion for sustainability and was trained in radical activism. Sean shares his life-changing experience where he lived in the Campus Center for Appropriate Technology (CCAT), a student-run demonstration house that was off-grid (solar, wind, biodiesel and batteries), before diving into his works in California's affordable housing market. He highlights his work at Redwood Energy, North America's #1 producer (per NBI/NZEC master list) of all-electric, 100+ percent solar housing from 2015-2020. Sean's winning formula is combining all electric solar powered designs with affordable housing developments. According to him, this helps developers become more profitable because electric design is cheaper to build and there are incentives for affordable housing.

Neck Training Solutions with Iron NeckFAKTR Podcast Episode 43Featuring: Jacob Nelson, CSCSEPISODE SUMMARYIf you're like most MSK practitioners, neck pain is a common complaint you see in your office. Many providers treat whiplash injuries and "text neck" along with more serious issues like chronic migraines, cervicogenic headaches and concussion, all of which can stem from dysfunction, trauma or weakness in the cervical spine. And if you treat neck pain in your office, you've more than likely heard of Iron Neck.Iron Neck started with a controversial idea: What if neck strength could help reduce whiplash and in turn reduce concussion risk in athletes? So their initial goal was to get Iron Neck devices into NFL and NCAA weight rooms.What started with a focus on athlete safety has evolved into a modern approach to fixing the crippling posture of modern society. And now these wearable neck training devices are utilized in private healthcare clinics, hospitals and by the sports medicine staffs of 40+ NFL and NCAA programs.In this two part training we will answer the question: What does it take to have a strong neck and why is this important for your patients?In this course, we'll be taking a practical look at evaluating, training and finding possible solutions for strengthening and rehabilitation of the neck and its support system. And who better to speak to this than Jacob Nelson, Director of Education for Iron Neck.ABOUT OUR SPEAKER:Jacob Nelson is a Kinesiologist, Strength & Conditioning Coach, and Athlete holding a lifetime obsession with strength and learning. He currently works with The Iron Neck as Director of Education, Programming and Regional Manager as well as the Head of Strength & Conditioning for the American Raptors Rugby team. In both positions the goal is to blend functional neurology with standards of practice in order to make a performance based training program that enhances all biological systems. Jacob began his career as a Strength & Conditioning Assistant at Humboldt State University where he received a degree in Kinesiology with a Teaching/Coaching emphasis. In 2009, he received Strength & Conditioning All-American and CSCS designations from the NSCA, as well as an internship at NSCA Headquarters.

Our new Associate Dean - and former guest co-host of several episodes of the podcast - Bori Mazzag talks with us about her new position. She describes the role, what she likes about it, challenges, and what advice she has for faculty interested in pursuing similar administrative roles. We mention the transition that our university is going through: earlier this year, Humboldt State University became Cal Poly Humboldt, the third polytechnic university in the California State University system, along with Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and Cal Poly Pomona. This transition brings new opportunities for growth and changes to our university, and Bori has been involved with many aspects of this work.Have you recently started an administrative role? Do you have aspirations to go in that direction? Share your thoughts and experience with us at contactprofessorpodcast@gmail.com. professorpodcast.simplecast.com

What are the environment impacts of cannabis grows? The carbon foot print for tomato grows is 2 kilograms, much different than for cannabis grows is 3600 kilograms. Cleaning up illegal cannabis grows cost more money than cleaning up an oil spill.

Could probiotics restore microbiome imbalance linked to autoimmune disorder? UCLA and Oslo University Probiotics might help restore gut bacterial imbalance in patients with systemic sclerosis, says a new study looking at gastrointestinal bacterial compositions in two geographically-distinct populations suffering from the autoimmune disorder. Systemic sclerosis is an autoimmune disease which impacts the body's connective tissue. It is an uncommon condition that results in hard, thickened areas of skin and sometimes problems with internal organs and blood vessels.The study ran across the US and Norway and found that Norwegians and Americans with systemic sclerosis had higher levels of bacteria which can cause inflammation and lower levels of bacteria which are said to protect against inflammation compared to those not suffering from systemic sclerosis.The study found that those with systemic sclerosis had significantly lower levels of gut bacteria which is thought to protect against inflammation, such as Bacteroides.They were also found to have higher amounts of bacteria which promote inflammation, such as Fusobacterium, in comparison to those without systemic sclerosis.The study suggests that probiotics may aid restoring gut bacterial balance in those suffering from systemic sclerosis.   Caraway extract shows slimming potential for women University of Malaya (Malaysia),  An aqueous extract of caraway seeds may suppress appetite and help slim waistlines and thighs in physically active women, says a new study. Data published in Phytotherapy Research indicated that 90 days of supplementation with the caraway (Carum carvi L.) extract led to significant reductions in waist circumference of 6.2 cm and thigh circumference of 5.4 cm, compared to baseline levels. No significant waist reductions were recorded in the placebo group. “This study showed that the consumption of 30 mL/day CAE [caraway aqueous extract] may result in reasonable anti-obesity effects,” wrote the researchers. “Most likely, this occurs through a combination of four major bioactivities, including anti-microbial, anti-oxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties, together with the appetite-suppressing activity. Scientists from the University of Malaya (Malaysia), Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences (Iran), and Natural Products Inc (USA) recruited 70 aerobically trained, overweight, and obese women to participate in their triple-blind, placebo-controlled, clinical study. The women – who were instructed to not change their diet or physical activity – were randomly assigned to receive either the caraway extract or placebo for 90 days. Results showed that women in the caraway group had significant reductions in both appetite levels and carbohydrate intake compared with the placebo group. Commenting on the potential bioactives compounds responsible for the effects, the researchers note that caraway seed extracts contain volatile compounds such as limonene, gamma-terpinene, trans-carveol, carvone, thymol, and carvacrol. Friends Provide Better Pain Relief Than Morphine, Oxford University Study Reveals Oxford University Recent studies have explored the science behind friendships and discovered that there are actually measurable differences between people who have strong, healthy social networks and those who don't. In particular, people with strong friend connections were found to experience significantly better states of physical and mental health. “People with social support have fewer cardiovascular problems and immune problems, and lower levels of cortisol — a stress hormone,” says Tasha R. Howe, PhD, associate professor of psychology at Humboldt State University. Adding to the growing research on the benefits of friendship, a recent study conducted by researchers at Oxford University established that people with more friends have higher pain tolerance.  The study was designed to use pain tolerance to test the brain's endorphin activity. The researchers theorised that people with larger social networks would, as a result, have higher pain tolerance. The findings of the study supported their theory in that it showed that indeed, strong social connections were correlated with higher pain tolerance. As mentioned in the final statement it is not just the size of our social network that is important to our wellbeing, but the quality of the friendships that matters as well. With the advent of the internet modern society is changing quickly, and our interactions are increasingly occurring online. Even though the internet can be a great way to connect with likeminded people, online friends just aren't the same as those we can actually sit with and look directly in the eye when we communicate–and a digital hug is just nowhere near as good as a real one!  Videos: 1. Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla explains Pfizer's new tech to Davos crowd (0:25) 2. You'll Never See This on Tell Lie Vision (2:19) 3. Jimmy Dore-  TV War “Experts” Revealed As Paid Shills For Weapons Manufacturers  (only first 6:00) 5. SHOCKING!

— Self-Love is what Stephani Grace's work is all about—ways to learn to love yourself, and to have more compassion and acceptance for yourself. The reason it feels so hard to love ourselves is because of our ego. We have been conditioned to think and believe in a certain way. A majority of the time this is negative thinking or judgements against ourselves. As we begin to be more loving it can feel inauthentic, and our ego will likely argue with us and ramp up the negativity. We are truly reprogramming our minds to be more loving, and this takes awareness, time, and practice. Please be patient with yourself.

Poor sleep quality can affect the skin in a number of ways. Sleep is a time for our bodies to repair, and poor sleep does not allow that to happen efficiently. Today, my guest and I will discuss exactly how sleep and skin health are linked, as well as ways to improve your sleep quality. THIS IS THE FINAL SEGMENT OF A 3-PART INTERVIEW. CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO PART 1. CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO PART 2. My guest today is my colleague, Michelle Nilan, CNS. Michelle is a clinical nutritionist, yoga teacher, and ACSM-certified personal trainer. She is the associate clinical nutritionist in my private practice and has been working with me since June 2020! She has a master's in human nutrition from the University of Bridgeport and a bachelor's in philosophy from Humboldt State University. Through her work with me, Michelle has developed an extensive understanding of the complex relationship between the skin, gut, and overall health, and values being able to turn this into practical, actionable guidance to help others become well. She is additionally well-versed in metabolic conditions, insulin resistance and diabetes, and nutrition for high-risk pregnancies. Michelle also has a history of her own skin struggles with severe cystic acne, fungal acne, and tinea versicolor, as well as with managing thyroid, hormone, and autoimmunity issues, and knows all too well what it feels like to have significant life-impacting symptoms completely dismissed and be told by doctors that she'd “just have to live with it.” She is grateful for the opportunity to help others avoid the years of suffering she had to endure while trying to find and address the root causes on her own. Due to her work in philosophy, as well as her personal history of childhood trauma, she has a deep appreciation for the invisible mental and emotional suffering of skin and health issues that aren't obvious from the outside, and allows this to guide her approach of seeing a whole person rather than merely a collection of symptoms or a problem to fix. When she's not working with clients, Michelle enjoys staying updated with the latest nutrition research, lifting weights, reading, going to museums, spending time in nature, drinking coffee while people-watching, and playing with her cat Daoshi. Join us for the final part of a 3-part interview all about sleep and the skin. In this series, we've been discussing circadian rhythm, sleep hygiene, why sleep is important, and so much more!

The world is beginning to go through an electric revolution, and real estate is at the epicenter. Sean Armstrong, principal at Redwood Energy, happens to be one of the revolutionaries of this movement and has designed over 10,000 residences in more than 200 developments that are 100% all electric, Zero Net Energy with many of those being low-income affordable housing.Sean is a rare combination of advocate and activist with sustainability, justice, and doing the right thing at his core. His passion for sustainability started when he had a life-changing experience at Humboldt State University in Arcata, California, where he lived in the Campus Center for Appropriate Technology (CCAT), a student-run demonstration house that was off-grid (solar, wind, biodiesel and batteries).After college Sean left his imprint on organizations he worked for including a large general contracting firm begin to incorporate solar power into their projects. As a designer, Sean found a winning formula by combining all electric solar powered designs with affordable housing developments. This, he says, is because it helps developers become more profitable because electric design is cheaper to build and there are incentives for affordable housing.For Sean, there is an environmental cost to everything, but scale is important. The cost of solar is far outweighed by the positives that it creates to decarbonize the atmosphere, increase indoor air quality and create healthier living spaces, as well as create much more safe communities without the threat that comes with combustible fuel like natural gas. He has many personal gripping narratives of how his family has been impacted by events such as gas leaks, forest fires, and toxic indoor air quality. At the end of this Regenerative Real Estate Podcast episode, Sean mentions several resources that his firm Redwood Energy has put out for people interested in Zero Net Energy which you can find at their website here.
