Why technology is most transformative when it is playful, and innovative spatial design happens only when designers are both tinkerers and dreamers. In Urban Play: Make-Believe, Technology, and Space (MIT Press, 2021), Fábio Duarte and Ricardo Álvarez argue that the merely functional aspects of technology may undermine its transformative power. Technology is powerful not when it becomes optimally functional, but while it is still playful and open to experimentation. It is through play—in the sense of acting for one's own enjoyment rather than to achieve a goal—that we explore new territories, create new devices and languages, and transform ourselves. Only then can innovative spatial design create resonant spaces that go beyond functionalism to evoke an emotional response in those who use them. The authors show how creativity emerges in moments of instability, when a new technology overthrows an established one, or when internal factors change a technology until it becomes a different technology. Exploring the role of fantasy in design, they examine Disney World and its outsize influence on design and on forms of social interaction beyond the entertainment world. They also consider Las Vegas and Dubai, desert cities that combine technology with fantasies of pleasure and wealth. Video games and interactive media, they show, infuse the design process with interactivity and participatory dynamics, leaving spaces open to variations depending on the users' behavior. Throughout, they pinpoint the critical moments when technology plays a key role in reshaping how we design and experience spaces. Michael O. Johnston, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at William Penn University. He is the author of Community Media Representations of Place and Identity at Tug Fest: Reconstructing the Mississippi River (Lexington, 2022). His general area of study is on media representations of people and place at festivals and celebrations. He is currently working on his next book where he conducted research on an annual canoeing and kayaking event that takes place on the Upper Mississippi River. To learn more about Michael O.

Welcome to the radio magazine that brings you news, commentary and analysis from a Black Left perspective. I'm Margaret Kimberley, along with my co-host, Glen Ford. Coming up: Calls are mounting to abolish the cops on US college campuses. And, where does the US get the right to dictate who governs Haiti? We'll speak with a longtime fighter for Haitian sovereignty. But first – It's been confirmed that the nation's best known political prisoner, Mumia Abu Jamal, has been infected with Covid-19. Abu Jamal is a senior citizen prisoner, having spent the last 39 years in the Pennsylvania prison gulag. Longtime Mumia supporter Dr. Johanna Fernandez held a press conference to demand that Abu Jamal and all elderly inmates and political prisoners be set free. Fernandez was joined by Mumia's movement doctor, Ricardo Alvarez, and Rev. Kieth Collins, who has known Abu Jamal since they were both youngsters in Philadelphia. Dr. Fernandez said setting Mumia freeis good medicine, as well as justice. That was Rev. Keith Collins, speaking from Philadelphia. The modern Free Speech Movement began on California college campuses in the Sixties, and soon led to demands that campuses be free of police. But instead, cops have become even more deeply entrenched and militarized at US colleges, just as in the larger society. Dylan Rodriquez is a professor of Media and Cultural Studies at the University of California at Riverside, and he has plenty of experience combating the cops. Dr. Rodriguez says both the university system and its campus police are undergoing a crisis of legitimacy. That was Professor Dylan Rodriguez, speaking from the University of California, at Riverside. The Haitian people have made it plain that they want to be rid of Jovenel Moise, the incredibly corrupt president imposed on Haiti by the United States. Thousands of Haitians have been in the streets for weeks, demanding that Moise step down. But the regime refuses to budge, and has responded with gunfire that has left dozens dead. Dr. Jemima Pierre is an anthropologist in the Department of African American Studies at UCLA, and an activist with the Black Alliance for Peace. Pierre was interviewed by Dr. Jared Ball on his influential podcast, “I Mix What I Like.” She says Washington is the source of Haiti's misery.

In this segment of By Any Means Necessary, hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Dr. Johanna Fernandez, Associate Professor of history at Baruch College of the City University, author of "The Young Lords: A Radical History," and editor of the book "Writing on the Wall: The Selected Prison Writings of Mumia Abu Jamal," to discuss political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal's recent positive coronavirus diagnosis, why Dr. Ricardo Alvarez has indicated "the only treatment for Mumia is freedom," and why the latest development only underscores the life-threatening conditions facing the incarcerated population as a matter of routine.

In this episode of By Any Means Necessary, hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Ryan Cooper, National Correspondent for The Week magazine, and Co-Host & Producer of LeftAnchor podcast, to discuss how President Biden's tweaks to the COVID-19 relief package will leave 17 million people with no stimulus check, how the move is likely to delay the process, and the grave consequences the decision could have on the Democratic Party's chances in the 2022 midterms elections.In the second segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Dr. Johanna Fernandez, Associate Professor of history at Baruch College of the City University, author of "The Young Lords: A Radical History," and editor of the book "Writing on the Wall: The Selected Prison Writings of Mumia Abu Jamal," to discuss political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal's recent positive coronavirus diagnosis, why Dr. Ricardo Alvarez has indicated "the only treatment for Mumia is freedom," and why the latest development only underscores the life-threatening conditions facing the incarcerated population as a matter of routine.In the third segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Ali Abunimah, co-founder of electronicintifada.net and the author of 'One Country' and 'The Battle for Justice in Palestine,' to discuss the announcement that the International Criminal Court will investigate war crimes allegedly carried out by Israel, why Secretary of State Anthony Blinken immediately leaped to demonize the efforts to bring the Israeli regime to justice, and double standards in the application of international law.Later in the show, Sean and Jacquie are joined by social and civic innovation expert Kendrick Jackson to discuss the about-face by Minneapolis authorities in their plan to pay social media influencers to publicize the city's official perspective in the run-up to the trial of George Floyd's killer, officer Derek Chauvin, the fallout of the sexual abuse allegations levelled against pop star and actor TI, and why similar accusations against Joe Biden seem to have been swept under the rug.

Now we are on the edge of yet another market shift. Now is the time for us to reassert ourselves as the rudder of the brands we love. Thank you for tuning into the Happy Market Research Podcast where we are charting the path for the future of market researchers and businesses.  Hi, I’m Jamin Brazil and you’re listening to the Happy Market Research Podcast. Today my guest is Ricardo Alvarez. For the past ten years Ricardo has been the Director of Research and Insights at MasterCard and has recently left to pursue a career in consulting. As a technology company, MasterCard is in the global payments business, connecting consumers, financial institutes, merchants, governments, and businesses in more than 210 countries.  Prior to MasterCard, Ricardo has worked on both the brand and agency side, gaining extensive experience in the U.S. and Latin America across food, retail, personal care products, digital and the financial sectors. Ricardo, thank you very much for being on the Happy Market Research Podcast today. [01:27] Thank you, Jamin.  And first of all, I want to express my sincere congratulations for this great initiative of yours to make the Happy Market Research Podcast.  All of your podcasts will help a lot of market researchers from many generations. So your effort is going to have a great impact in our industry.  So, congratulations for that. [01:50] Thank you very much.  I appreciate the positive impact.  It’s been an interesting process over the last two months.  We have been gaining – I call them viewers – but listeners, I guess, an audience.  And that’s been very exciting. The best, I’d say the highlight for me, has been listening to the brands the professionals such as yourself, who have been on the brand side, identify where the market gaps are and then how the agencies are working hard to understand those opportunities so that they can create solutions that really help brands become more data-driven.  It’s been an exciting journey for me personally and for the rest of the team. So, thank you very much for taking the time to be with us today. [02:47] Thank you.   [02:51] So, let’s start way back.  Tell us a little bit about your parents and how that has affected your career. [02:54] Well, my dad was a journalist.  So, since I was a little boy, I learned how to appreciate the opinions of people with regard to social topics.  I started to learn more about the interview as a data collection method and as a genre. To me an interview reflects reality, and it is a creative process of discovery.  My mom was dedicated to the care of my dad as well as my brothers and sisters. We were six. So we were a big family, and you can imagine that she had a lot of work in the care of all of us.  So, I learned from my mom to listen to others and identify the emotional statements versus the rational ones. So, from my dad I learned the love of journalism and the genre of interview...

Ya no queda nadie que no haya entendido que España ha sido devaluada... Y sus empresas van a la par. Una España de "bajo coste", sólo se merece tener empresas de "bajo coste". Antes para salir de una crisis se devaluaba la moneda, hoy con el euro las cosas han cambiado, lo que se devalúa son las empresas, las condiciones de trabajo y los salarios... España se vende a inversores extranjeros a precio de saldo y el Gobierno y los políticos avalan las ventas mientras ponen el cazo para llevarse su tajada. Y aquellos que negocian los convenios y acuerdos se suben los sueldos un 300%. - ¿Quieres un ejemplo? Aquí te mostramos uno: IBERIA, Lineas Aéreas de España. Tertulia con Diego Camacho, Ricardo Alvarez, Andrés Corredera, Julia Pastor y Miguel Angel jimenez. Las conclusiones no te van a dejar indiferente.

Then they dig a little deeper in the Vault to bring out Lamar's Fall 2011 interview with Dr. Ron Castellucci, an associate professor at Sherman Chiropractic College, who not only loves the TIC but is able to bring a fresh and real perspective to his students by remaining in active chiropractic practice. Plus, Mairead Rothman, editor of Spizz Magazine, joins the boys for her regular Spizz Report which she deftly spins with a student angle.
