The term “polymath” is unquestionably overused, and often just plain wrong, but it suits the multi-hyphenate British designer, creative director, and artist Samuel Ross, whose hard-to-pin-down practice spans high fashion, streetwear, painting, sculpture, installation, stage design, sound design, product and furniture design, experimental film, and street art. Best known for founding the Brutalism-tinged fashion label A-Cold-Wall, which sits at the nexus of streetwear and high fashion, and for his work, earlier in his career, with the late Virgil Abloh, Ross also runs the industrial design studio SR_A and has collaborated with brands including Nike, Converse, and Timberland. On this week's episode of Time Sensitive, he talks about notions of ritual, essence, and alchemy; how his work straddles the line between the organic and the synthetic; and why he always thinks in threes.Special thanks to our Season 7 sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes: [03:59] “Samuel Ross: Coarse” at Friedman Brenda[06:41] Glenn Adamson[22:48] Hettie Judah's Lapidarium: The Secret Lives of Stones[27:45] Vitsoe 606 Shelving System[30:46] Virgil Abloh[37:02] “Samuel Ross: Land” at White Cube[42:05] Rhea Dillon[46:24] Sondra Perry's Typhoon Coming On[46:43] Christina Sharpe's In the Wake[46:46] Saidiya Hartman's Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiments[50:30] Steve McQueen's Small Axe[52:41] John Berger[58:19] 2wnt4[58:53] Pyrex Vision[58:55] Kanye West[58:56] Donda[01:04:09] A-Cold-Wall[01:05:46] Jerry Lorenzo[01:09:25] Black British Artist Grants[01:12:22] SR_A[01:12:50] “Fashion Design: Samuel Ross/A-Cold-Wall” at the V&A Museum[01:13:22] Grace Wales Bonner[01:13:54] Mac Collins[01:13:59] Nifemi Marcus-Bello[01:20:44] David Drake
In this episode, we dive deep into the world of biodesign, exploring the amazing opportunities that arise when science, technology, and fashion come together. Think faux leather that's made with kombucha, functional yarn derived from seaweed, and performance clothing that replaces nylon and spandex with naturally sourced, biodegradable protein. Our guest is Dr. Karen Pearson, Professor of Chemistry at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) and Chair of FIT's Sustainability Council. Karen has been widely recognized for her commitment to cross-disciplinary education: she is the recipient of the President's Award for Curricular Innovation and has been acknowledged as one of the top 100 Most Influential Women in STEM. In this episode, we discuss the intersection of science and design, the innovative work being done by FIT students and faculty, and talk through some amazing examples of biodesign in action.

Max Kunze, Nice Games Club Guest Booker, takes over for Mark while he's still sick this week on another Nice Games Jam! Mark actually created the prompt for this episode, and your nice hosts find a way to inject many explosions into this board game made from it that you can try out yourself using the rules below!The playtest session we alluded to in the episode is on Patreon! If you want to hear how we playtested it over Miro, check it out there! Prompt Create a game where risk is extremely attractive and the consequences of failure are disastrous. Game type Card game Player count 2 - 4 Materials 25 cubes42 cards1 Chaos Cube (six-sided die) Setup Set the 25 cubes in the center of the table so everyone can reach it. This is the stockpile.Deal out 3 cards to each player, hidden from the other players.First player is the person who was most recently in a car. Rules On your turn, choose a card to play and follow its instructions.Types of cards: Excursion: draw 1, 2, or 3 cubes from the Gas Stockpile bag You have the option of rolling the Chaos CubeCasting Curses: Have another player roll the risk diceBad Weather: Skip the next player's turnRaid: Steal a gas cube from another player's cache You have the option of rolling the Chaos CubeForesight: See what cards another player hasTheft: Steal a random card from another playerIf the card allows you to roll the Chaos Cube, you can choose to roll it to increase your rewards. But there's a risk that you will both burn the cubes in your own collection and in the stockpile!At the end of your turn, draw back up to 3 cards.Play continues like this with each player playing one card until there are no more cubes remaining in the stockpile.

Dr. Lisa Rueschhoff and Dr. Matthew Dickerson from AFRL's Materials and Manufacturing Directorate discuss the power of polymers, high temperature ceramics and the impact materials research has on our everyday lives.
Imagine you are going to space. There is a long list of items and supplies you definitely will need, but there is an even longer list of things you might need, depending on how your mission progresses. This includes known unknowns like fuel for unplanned maneuvering, replacement parts or tools, and a wide range of other products that could be useful, but may not be utilized. The current paradigm is to pack everything you might possibly need, but this approach is complex and logistically burdensome. Imagine instead that you pack only fermentation equipment, feedstocks, and a freezer full of microbes that each convert the feedstock into a different useful molecule, material, or product so you have everything you might need and can produce it on demand. Or what if you could enable a new paradigm where future space structures – that are much too large to launch on a rocket – are built off-Earth using materials and designs optimized for the space environment?This Voices from DARPA episode features discussions with Dr. Andy Detor, program manager in DARPA's Defense Sciences Office, as well as Dr. Anne Cheever, program manager in the Biological Technologies Office. Detor runs the Novel Orbital Moon Manufacturing, Materials, and Mass Efficient Design, or NOM4D program. Cheever heads up the Biomanufacturing: Survival, Utility, and Reliability beyond Earth, or B-SURE, program. While neither program is conducting manufacturing in space, both are supporting proof of concept studies to determine whether it might be feasible in the future.

Charles Benjamin Dudley changed the world we live in when he helped establish the American Society for Testing and Materials. Prior to his work as a chemist with the Pennsylvania Railroad, there was no standardization for the composition of railroad tracks, which led to derailments, deaths, and loss of cargo. Dudley convinced the world that science combined with ingenuity is what all industries needed. Since its founding, ASTM has established more than 13,000 standards across hundreds of companies in dozens of countries. Fellow Laurel Hill Tour Guide Rich Wilhelm will tell Dudley's story and explain why he is the right man to tell it.
This episode is proof that the Universe has perfect timing. Heidi Stock and I were scheduled to chat a month ago, but an illness in her family forced us to put the interview off awhile. Then, after her family healed, the perfect sliver of time became available. You'll hear little bread crumbs all over this conversation. We both offer it in love.If you're a superfan of Curious Cat, first off, THANK YOU!!!! Second, then you KNOW I've been in search of a Reiki Master to have on to teach us about this healing art. Well, it was a breath of fresh air courtesy of the Universe when I checked my Insta dms and instead of finding a slew of messages from shirtless men holding roses, or fake Zak Bagans accounts asking for money, or illuminati bots, instead, I found the most kind message from the owner of Wise Wolf Craft.

This week's EYE ON NPI is like a beam of sunlight shining into your life - it's the Cree XP-G3 Photophyll™ Select LEDs (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/c/cree/xp-g3-photophyll-select-leds)! These are high-power illumination LEDs that are designed specifically for horticulture lighting. Before we begin - we do want to clarify that you don't have to worry about these LEDs being from the Kree-with-a-K (https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Kree) - the powerful blue-skinned and technically advanced humanoid race that antagonize the Marvel Cinematic Universe. No, these are from the technically advanced and very peaceful Cree corporation, who do not have blue skin but do make powerful blue LEDs (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/creeled-inc/XPGDRY-L1-0000-00501/7134715). Cree-with-a-C is famous for their wide range of powerful LEDs that are available with precision binned frequencies (https://forum.digikey.com/t/cree-led-binning/761) To create an LED, we first need to create a diode (that's the D in LED) - with P-doped and N-doped silicon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode_physics) the two doping materials are specifically picked so that when current is passed through, photons are emitted that match a desired frequency (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode_physics#Materials). Originally we only had Gallium-Arsenide which could make red light, then with tweaking we could move the frequency around to get yellow or light green. Then new materials were discovered to give green, blue light or even UV. You'll note on that Wikipedia article that the frequencies have a range - and depending on the doping techniques the frequency can shift around. Low cost LEDs just come in "Dim Red" or "Bright Green" and are not guaranteed to all match color and brightness - although they tend to be close. If you need perfect color and brightness matching you need to get binned LEDs: When manufactured, the LEDs are quickly tested in each batch to determine the exact frequency and then placed into a 'bin' labelled with that value. Whenever you buy that LED you're guaranteed to get ones that emit the same frequency - within some established error margin. You pay more but have fewer surprises - that's Cree's expertise (https://forum.digikey.com/t/cree-led-binning/761). For growing plants, of course it's easiest to just stick them under the sun which does a great job of providing the sunlight photons required to kick off photosynthesis. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthesis) But perhaps there's not enough light where you're at, or you need to have the plants indoors to protect them from weather, or they're seedlings and it isn't spring. That's where grow lights come in! (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grow_light) There's a ton of research into the science of what kind of lights work best for different plants (https://journals.ashs.org/hortsci/view/journals/hortsci/50/9/hortsci.50.issue-9.xml) - historically folks used fluorescent or halide lamps, but LEDs have the benefit of not dimming or burning out over time as long as they are heat-sinked - and even better you may not even need active cooling. Make sure to follow the Cree documentation on packaging and heat-sinking, and use aluminum-backed PCBs to help diffuse heat. (https://www.digikey.com/en/articles/led-heat-dissipation-and-lowering-thermal-resistance-of-led-lighting-substrates) If this spring has inspired you to dabble in a green thumb, or maybe you have a horticultural-science product you're developing, the Cree XP-G3 Photophyll Select LEDs (https://www.digikey.com/short/t07dnf4t) will be super efficient for any cyber-plant grow lighting system. And best of all, they're in stock right now at Digi-Key for immediate shipment, in a variety of binned ratios. Order today and you'll be glowing and growing by tomorrow afternoon.
Have you ever considered using an SBOM to inform your threat modeling? Tony Turner has. Tony joins us to discuss SBOMs, threat modeling, and the importance of Cyber Informed Engineering. Tony delves into the SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) concept, highlighting their value proposition in identifying vulnerabilities, demonstrating compliance with software licenses, and informing M&A activities and incident response indicators related to cyberattacks. We also explore the integration of SBOMs into the system engineering process and security engineering.Tony further introduces the concept of Consequence-Driven Cyber Informed Engineering, which emphasizes understanding the potential consequences of cyberattacks on critical infrastructure rather than just on individuals or individual businesses. We discuss the four-step process of consequence-driven CIE. The conversation also addresses the challenges in communicating SBOM information, the importance of demanding transparency from suppliers, and the need to place trust in trusted third-party attestations.Follow up:- Research tools for integrating SBOMs into threat modeling- Explore methods of communicating SBOM information- Investigate Cyber Informed Engineering and Consequence-Driven principles in more detailFOLLOW OUR SOCIAL MEDIA: ➜Twitter: @AppSecPodcast➜LinkedIn: The Application Security Podcast➜YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ApplicationSecurityPodcast Thanks for Listening! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Episode #72: "Mr. Worldwide" is Back For the past 14 years, U.S. stocks have outperformed international stocks by a wide margin. However, things have begun to change over the last several months. Although it's too early to tell at this point whether or not this trend change is sustainable, there are reasons to favor International stocks in the current market environment.

As the director of investments at Flourish Wealth Management, I take pride in providing our clients, colleagues, and friends with resources and information that can help them make strategic and effective choices regarding their investments. If you've been enjoying the show, be sure to subscribe on Apple, Spotify, Google, or wherever you get your podcasts, so you'll never miss an episode. Today, we are discussing why “Mr. Worldwide” is Back. For pop music fans, the title “Mr. Worldwide” is immediately associated with the artist named Pitbull. I like his music because it incorporates a global beat and brings a lot of positive energy. It's also fortunate that Pitbull has collaborated with a large number of other music stars because that brought a lot of depth to his music. He gave himself the title “Mr. Worldwide” based on the premise that his songs incorporated themes and genres from around the world, that he toured the world performing his music, and that as part of an immigrant family growing up in the United States Pitbull represents the American Dream of success that is generally shared around the world. I promise that is the end of my efforts to take a deep dive into pop music culture! Today's podcast is really about the positive returns from International Stock investments which are affirming the desire to have a globally diversified investment portfolio. We frequently reference a chart in client meetings from JP Morgan showing that US Stocks have outperformed International Stocks for over 14 years with a performance advantage of over 275%. It has been difficult to justify global diversification over that time period because US Stocks were providing better performance almost every year, and frequently with significantly better returns. However, International Stocks have flipped the script over the past few months. The MSCI Europe Asia Far East (aka EAFE) market Index is up over 23% since November 1st of 2022 compared to 7% for the S&P 500 Index. That is the largest performance differential between these two stock market indexes over the past 15 years and the first that has demonstrably favored International stocks. Although it's too early to tell at this point whether or not this trend change is sustainable, there are reasons to favor International stocks in the current market environment. The past 10+ years featured low inflation and historically low interest rates, an environment that favored Growth-oriented investments. Technology and Communications stocks represent 30% of the S&P 500 Index compared to just 15% for the MSCI EAFE, so a favorable environment for Growth stocks will consistently favor US markets. However, a period with moderate inflation and moderate interest rates will favor stocks that have consistent revenues, profits, and favorable valuations (also known as Value stocks). The EAFE Index has a 47% allocation to Value sectors like Industrials, Financials, Energy, and Materials compared to 27% for the S&P 500 Index. Assuming the era of free money is over, there are reasons to add exposure to Value investments. A sustained period of moderate interest rates is favorable for Financial Services companies like banks because they will be able to generate more revenues from loans with higher interest rate payments. In addition, most Financial Services stocks have relatively low prices due to mediocre long-term performance. Similarly, Industrial stocks have lagged due to a lack of investment in manufacturing over the past decade but the transition to “near-shoring” is adding manufacturing capabilities in India, Mexico, and Canada as companies shift away from China. The emphasis on renewable energy also means that many of the existing manufacturing facilities are being updated to be more efficient and sustainable across the globe. The last time period of sustained International Stock outperformance was in the 2000s before the Great Recession. International Stocks outperformed by over 65% during those 7 years, which was the longest time period of outperformance by either US or International Stocks until the recent 14+ years of US stock market dominance. We have always incorporated a global stock market approach in client portfolios at Flourish with International and Emerging Markets representing 30% to 35% of the stock investments. The commitment to International Stock diversification has consistently demonstrated benefits from a risk reduction standpoint, and it would be nice if clients experience a performance benefit for the first time in the 9-year history of Flourish. Although our Investment Committee has not made a decision to actively increase exposure to International Stocks at this time, it will be an important topic of discussion in our monthly meetings as we explore tactical asset allocation opportunities.

Today's guests are John Bissell and Rich Riley, co-CEOs at Origin Materials, a carbon-negative materials company that turns carbon found in biomass into chemical outputs.John co-founded Origin Materials as an undergraduate at UC Davis in 2008. Rich became an investor in Origin in 2010, and joined as co-CEO in 2020 after a successful tech career, including most recently as the CEO of the music startup Shazam, which he sold to Apple in 2018. So what kind of opportunity brought a wunderkind chemical engineer and a seasoned software technology executive together? The way they tell it, it's the once-in-a-century opportunity to rebuild the world's material stack from one built on petrochemical inputs to one built on biomass.Recently, Origin Materials went public through a SPAC merger and is now finishing its first commercial plant, Origin One, in Canada. In this podcast episode, Cody delves into John and Rich's backgrounds, how they met, Origin's theory of change, its technical processes, the market it operates in, and the chemical outputs its customers purchase. They also discuss their vision for scaling the business. Almost everything we use in our lives is reliant on fossil fuel-based chemicals. However, Origin Materials is striving to change this by transforming the industry, as the world moves away from fossil fuels. Tune in to discover how they plan to achieve this goal.In this episode, we cover: [2:44] John's time at UC Davis and what prompted his idea for Origin Materials [6:23] Rich's story and how he got involved with the company [10:52] The decision process behind John and Rich's co-CEO structure[12:49] Original insight behind the company's focus[19:13] How Origin Materials fits into the value chain [20:26] Challenges of working with biomass and Origin Materials' process [23:52] The company's different product streams[27:22] Use cases and how Origin Materials works with partners and customers[35:09] The infrastructure side of the business[38:39] How the company raised funds for its first plant and the evolution of talent they're bringing into the company[42:43] Origin Materials' unit economics strategy and what's nextGet connected: Cody SimmsJohn Bissell / Rich RileyOrigin Materials MCJ Podcast / Collective*You can also reach us via email at info@mcjcollective.com, where we encourage you to share your feedback on episodes and suggestions for future topics or guests.Episode recorded on March 17, 2023.
I grew up in Eastern Washington, a stone's throw from the mighty waters of the Columbia River. We waded on its mossy rocks to better view hydroplanes as they skimmed the surface, dove down to its murky depths for sweet relief in the scorching summer months, and once, I fished out a slick, algae-covered twenty dollar bill just miles away from the place where D.B. Cooper was rumored to have dropped his ill-gotten fortune. I spent countless hours swimming, floating, boating, fishing, rock-skipping, and exploring its waters; even more hours running, biking, walking and in a few instances, making out near its muddy banks. This is the only river that crosses through the Cascade Mountain Range that was not born in its peaks. Paranormal experts find that water is a conduit to the supernatural, amplifying energies. Is that why the Columbia is rife with dark rumors? Let's get into it.______________________________________________SIGN UP FOR Karen Rontowski's Spiritual Protection Class HERE! - It is a sliding scale price and she asks that if you cannot afford even the lowest price, that you email her with the contact form and she'll give you access FREE.________________________________________________Show Sources and Materials:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_Riverhttps://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-33170655https://www.discovermagazine.com/planet-earth/kennewick-mans-bones-reburied-settling-a-decades-long-debatehttps://www.ancient-origins.net/history-important-events/forgotten-story-spanish-conquerors-north-america-005391https://www.wweek.com/culture/2019/10/29/the-pacific-northwest-is-crawling-with-cryptids-and-not-just-bigfoot-heres-how-to-dress-like-one-of-oregons-other-monsters-for-halloween/https://www.oregonlive.com/entertainment/2019/03/oregons-most-famous-mythical-creature-it-might-not-Curious Cat is lacing up their hiking boots to explore the rumor riddled Cascade Mountain Range, a land of fire and ice.

Curious Cat's special CASCADIA series begins with the 1700 Cascadia Earthquake.It is the most epic natural disaster you've never heard of!The Cascade Mountain Range runs north into Canada and south through Washington, Oregon and into California. Sitting on the legendary Ring of Fire, this chain of 19 mountains was born in the belly of the Earth, a byproduct of the friction between the Juan de Fuca and CASCADIA plates. Three-hundred years ago the entire west coast of North America quaked. When the Juan de Fuca plate became unstuck, it slipped beneath the CASCADIA plate, and jarred an entire continent, devastating coastal communities, and forever etching itself into the oral histories of native peoples. Stories of a battle between good and evil, the thunderbird and the whale are still retold today. That was over three centuries ago, and we know the exact time it occurred.Let's go back a moment in our mental time machines. The year is 1700. You are a member of one of multiple indigenous tribes that reside in the mouthways of streams and rivers along the North American coastline. It is January and though the sun was filtered through clouds for most of the day, it's long since slipped below the horizon. The community fire is dying out. The young are rubbing their tired eyes and clinging to the laps and legs of their mamas. The community quietly tucks away, beneath warm layers to sleep. All is quiet. The scent of lingering woodsmoke, salty ocean spray and traces of the day blur into dreams. Then suddenly the land beneath shakes and rolls. While some remain asleep, the shaking infects their dreams, but others grow alert thanks to the rush of adrenaline. ______________________________________________SIGN UP FOR Karen Rontowski's Spiritual Protection Class HERE! - It is a sliding scale price and she asks that if you cannot afford even the lowest price, that you email her with the contact form and she'll give you access FREE.________________________________________________Episode Sources and Materials:https://hakaimagazine.com/features/great-quake-and-great-drowning/https://www.amazon.com/Orphan-Tsunami-1700-Japanese-Earthquake/dp/0295998083https://www.wired.com/story/the-long-lost-tale-of-an-18th-century-tsunami-as-told-by-trees/Curious Cat is lacing up their hiking boots this Spring.

According to Minnesota Public Radio, it's hot girl sinkhole spring. In other words, we have an insane number of potholes right now in the Twin Cities, and since we can't do anything other than wait for the hardworking folks of road repair to fix them, we made a game about the whole situation. Andy and Beth Korth join for this special Nice Games Jam!GLOM preorder through Miniature MarketGLOM preorder through GameNerdz✨hot girl sinkhole spring✨ - Minnesota Public RadioUptown washout leaves 8-foot-deep sinkhole in Minneapolis intersection - Tim Nelson and Kerem Yücel, Minnesota Public Radio The Korths are back!

Another view of the school bus sinkhole. Prompt Ellen gave us a prompt: "Create a game about patching potholes that Gabe would have fun playing" Game type Tabletop game Materials MarblesPlay-Doh or alternative squishynessA very complicated custom game boardRoad tiles of various sizes and configurations Setup Set up the custom game boardDistribute marbles to all playersDistribute Play-Doh to all playersDistribute road / terrain tiles to all playersDetermine who will be the first player per the rules below Rules In a nutshell, the game challenges players to roll marbles down a hill. The hill is made of road tiles, but some of the tiles are pitted with potholes. Players can use Playdoh to patch potholes in the road so the marbles will make it to the finish.The board is a grid laid over a raised pyramid where players put down terrain. Everything starts in the center (city hall); that's where you put the marbles so they roll down the hill. Each quadrant is a side of the pyramid, there's some method of tiling for the player to put pieces down to determine how the marbles will travel in that area.Turn orderPlay starts with the player who most recently hit a pothole with their car or their bike. In case of a tie (as might happen if multiple players were in a car together), the younger player goes first.Play then proceeds clockwise.Players can take 3 actions on their turn. You can do the same action more than once. The actions are:Rotate the boardPlace or swap a tilePatch a potholeDrop a marbleTilesEach tile is worth 1, 2 or 3 victory points when marbles pass through. The rougher the tile, the more victory points it's worth.Players also get a bit of Play-Doh to fill up potholes in the terrain.Players have 5 tiles in their hand at any given time; as an action, they can play one, then draw back up to 5 tiles.Rotating the boardRotating the board happens towards the left (counterclockwise), the opposite of play order, which goes to the right (clockwise). Each rotation turns the board 90 degrees.Scoring & dropping marblesIf a marble reaches the bottom of the hill in front of you, you get the victory points that it acquired from each tile it moved through on its journey from the top of the hill to the bottom.You ONLY get the victory points if the marble reaches the bottom of the hill. If you drop a marble as an action, and the marble gets stuck on the way, you don't get any points from the tiles it passed through.Winning the gamePlay proceeds in 12 rounds. Each player gets one turn per round.Play ends when the turn counter reaches zero (game starts at the start of winter, ends at the start of the next winter)Whoever has acquired the most victory points by the end of the "year" is the winner of Pothole RunFun stuff to think about for the futureWe have to create an extractor to get the playdoh out.Cooperative play mode? Roles for each player? Someone who's better at filling potholes, someone who can put more marbles down, etc. Maybe two teams?

Jessica Wade is a physicist at Imperial College London who, while spending her day working on special carbon-based materials that can be used as semiconductors, has spent her nights writing nearly 2,000 Wikipedia entries about underrepresented figures in science. That, along with numerous other forms of public engagement—including writing a children's book about nanotechnology—is all in an effort to actually do something productive to correct gender and racial biases in STEM. She joined Tyler to discuss if there are any useful gender stereotypes in science, distinguishing between productive and unproductive ways to encourage women in science, whether science Twitter is biased toward men, how AI will affect gender participation gaps, how Wikipedia should be improved, how she judges the effectiveness of her Wikipedia articles, how she'd improve science funding, her work on chiral materials and its near-term applications, whether writing a kid's science book should be rewarded in academia, what she learned spending a year studying art in Florence, what she'll do next, and more.
