Like most if not every creative, Matthew Bull, walked into the studio and owned the room. Matthew, became an advertising copywriter, then a creative group head, then a creative director, then a CEO, then a global chief creative officer, then a chairman, then a creative director again. He has a story to tell! In his own words he says: "I've worked in, and created work for, every conceivable market in the world, from Johannesburg to London to New York to Shanghai to Bangkok to San Paulo to Mumbai to Mexico City to Lagos...you get the picture, I've done work for banks, paint, beer, computers, margarine, cellphones, political parties, soda, charities galore, chocolate, fitness clubs and on and on and on" If you attended the Nedbank IMC you will be able to watch his keynote on the event app. If not, wait for an updated link once all presentations have been released to the public.

El presidente Lula da Silva anunció la pavimentación de la Br-319, una carretera amazónica hasta ahora intransitable. Pero el proyecto pone en alerta a ambientalistas y cíentificos que temen una expansión de la deforestación. El tema ilustra las contradicciones del mandatario brasileño en materia medioambiental. Heredada de la dictadura militar brasileña, la Br-319 atraviesa 900 km de selva Amazónica de Manaos (estado de Amazonas) hasta Porto Velho (estado de Rondonia). El tramo central de 400 km de esta carretera sin embargo ha quedado abandonado a la intemperie del clima tropical y es intransitable desde los años 80.Para algunos, como los gobernadores locales, remodelar este tramo representaría una vía de comunicación indispensable para los intercambios comerciales regionales en medio de una sequía que dificulta la navegación en el rio Madeira, principal eje de la región. Para otros, en cambio, pavimentar esta carretera daría vía libre a la destrucción del bosque para el desarrollo agrícola lo que llevaría a una catástrofe ambiental.Durante una visita en la Amazonía sobre los impactos de la sequía y los incendios, el presidente Lula Da Silva anunció obras de pavimentación de 52 km adicionales de esta carretera y prometió también reactivar las obras de remodelación del tramo central para luchar contra el aislamiento de las ciudades amazónicas.El anuncio causó inquietud de ecologistas y científicos ambientales. “El bosque Amazónico tiene una protección pasiva: no hay muchos accesos para ingresar. A la medida que se abren nuevas carreteras, es como abrir una vena a dentro del bosque para las personas que buscan tierras”, advierte Britaldo Soares-Filho, investigador de la universidad de Minas Gerais.“El frente más dinámico de deforestación es justamente la región del sur del estado de Amazonas. Y gran parte de las tierras que rodean la carretera son públicas pero no designadas como áreas protegidas o bosques nacionales. Entonces son un blanco para los ‘grileiros'. El simple anuncio de la pavimentación  de la carretera dispara una carrera para la búsqueda de la tierra”, observa el académico quien estudia desde hace más de 2 décadas la deforestación de la Amazonia.En Brasil se designan a los grileiros, los traficantes de tierras que falsifican títulos de tierras poniendo documentos en una caja con grillos para envejecer el papel.Acción legal de las ONG ecologistasEn 2020, el gobierno de Jair Bolsonaro intentó ya reactivar las obras para pavimentar esta controvertida carretera. Pero el año pasado, el colectivo de ONG ecologistas Observatorio del Clima demandó el proyecto de pavimentación de la carretera Br 319 y obtuvo su paralización temporal, por violación de los derechos indígenas. Los detractores de la carretera temen también que la degradación ambiental que ya ocurre en los márgenes de la carretera, se extienda a la parte central, si algún día se llegue a pavimentarla.“En un artículo científico de 2021, demostramos que las tasas de deforestación alrededor de la Br-319 son casi tres veces superior a los de la Amazonía en general. Otro estudio indica que la superficie deforestada en la región aumentará 1200% comparado con el año 2011”, asegura el doctor en biología, e investigador de la Universidad Federal de Amazonas Lucas Ferrante, con base a dates satelitales y modelos."Para toda la carretera BR-319 se deforestaron 89.328 ha entre 1988 y 2020 dentro de la franja de 40 km, y 300.116 ha si se considera la franja de 150 km", indica el artículo coordinado por Lucas Ferrante.El científico que se opone férreamente a la BR 319 detalló, en entrevista con RFI, los impactos ambientales potenciales de esta deforestación masiva: “esto afectaría servicio ecosistémicos de la selva como la absorción del carbono y la regulación climática en Suramérica, y también el fenómeno de los ríos voladores, que es el transporte de lluvias hacia el sur de Brasil. El 70% de las lluvias del sur del país provienen de la Amazonía”."Lula miente al mundo", acusa científicoPara justificar la reanudación de las obras de pavimentación, el presidente Lula Da Silva calificó la carretera de Br-319 de “necesidad” para Manaos y Porto Velho, dos capitales estatales, aisladas y más aún en temporada de lluvia.“El presidente Lula miente al mundo: la carretera es intransitable desde hace décadas y Manaos es una de las ciudades más ricas porque el transporte es más rápido y barato se hace por el río Madeira. Y Porto Velho ya está conectado al resto de Brasil”, acusa Lucas Ferrante. Según el, la reapertura del tramo central de esta vía va de la mano con la expansión petrolera: “el año pasado, el gobierno abrió 9 bloques de exploración petrolera en la zona de la Br-319”.Y aunque los defensores de la carretera afirman que se colocará una valla para evitar los daños al medioambiente, con pasos aéreos y subterráneos para los animales silvestres y un control sobre quién y qué pasa por ella, el investigador estima que una autopista en esta zona de la Amazonía es incompatible con la protección del bosque.La batalla alrededor de la carretera BR 319 no ha terminado. Tanto en tribunales como en las reunión pública, partidarios y adversarios de su pavimentación se oponen. Mientras tanto, la falta control policial deja vía libre a los traficantes de tierras que abren caminos ilegales y destruyen el bosque tropical.La extensión de la carretera entre Manaos y Porto Velho en la Amazonía brasileña a pesar de las alertas de los ambientalistas no es la única paradoja del gobierno de Lula de Silva. El presidente de izquierda se presenta como un campeón del clima y la deforestación ha disminuido desde su regreso al poder. Pero en junio pasado, defendió la exploración petrolera en la desembocadura del río Amazonas, para aumentar la producción de oro negro, principal fuente de emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero, causantes del cambio climático.Escuche el programa completo de 'Vida en el planeta' acerca de la Br-139:Entrevistas:-Lucas Ferrante, doctor en biología, investigador en la Universidad de San Paulo y Universidad Federal de Amazonas.-Britaldo Soares-Filho, investigador de la Universidad de Minas Gerais, experto en diseños de modelos medioambientales.

When I invited Roberto Mayer of São Paulo Brazille to be a guest on Unstoppable Mindset I did not foresee the scope and far-ranging directions our conversation would go. Let me first tell you a bit about him. Roberto spent his life in São Paulo. Even at an early age he was teaching and tutoring classmates in math and Science. While in College he in the late 70s he learned about Microcomputers and helped bring them to South America. While at São Paulo University he also held a full-time job working at a bank computerizing the organization. For the past twenty years he has owned and operated his own consultant organization. He also volunteers for several organizations and he even finds time to relax playing in-door volleyball. Roberto, as you will see, is a deep thinker and a philosopher. During our time we discuss computers of course including the future of AI, religion vs spirituality and drugs, alcohol drugs and addiction. I find Roberto to be a humble and thoughtful person. I trust you will find him to be the same and that you will value our time together. About the Guest: Roberto pioneered microcomputers' introduction in South America as a teenager, in the late 70s. After some years as a corporate employee, he started working as an entrepreneur, and has not stopped to this day. In parallel, he developed an academic career in Maths and Computer Science, at São Paulo University, for many years. During his long career, Roberto always worked as a volunteer, across many organizations. His participation in IT Trade Associations evolved from local to worldwide. Hence, when life presented challenged related to drug addiction in his family, he entered the world of mutual help groups. Roberto's writing skills turned into several books over time - covering various aspects of his rich career.

Glad you dropped by we're happy to meet you and to have you here with us.   Michael Hingson ** 01:21 Hi, there, I'm your host, Mike hingson. And welcome to another episode of unstoppable mindset. Today, we get to interview Roberto Carlos Mayer, and Roberto lives in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and has a really interesting story to tell I'm sure in a lot of ways, one of the things I learned from reading his bio, is that he brought microcomputers to South America as a teenager in the late 70s. That must be kind of fun. But Roberto has had a long career as an entrepreneur, working with a lot of different kinds of fields. And we'll get to that. He's also a writer, and has been an entrepreneur, as I said most of his life. So Roberto, welcome to unstoppable mindset. We're really glad you're here.   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 02:08 Thanks, Michael. I'm very glad for your invitation, and hope to share a little bit of my long story. Well,   Michael Hingson ** 02:17 why don't we start at the beginning of your long story. So why don't you tell us a little bit about you growing up and all that.   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 02:24 Okay, I, I started my involvement with computers, as you mentioned in the early 70s. Now I at that time, I was in college, and the chemistry professor told me that his brother had brought some micro computers from the United States here. And he was gathering people to try to understand what they did, how they could be programmed and so on. In school, I was always a very good student in math and other scientific subjects. So I accepted that invitation. And from that time on, I started working with computers up to this day, I did change my mind   Michael Hingson ** 03:20 worked out pretty well. Well. So go back a little bit further. Have you always lived in Sao Paulo?   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 03:28 Yes, in fact, I have lived in San Paulo, all my life.   Michael Hingson ** 03:35 So you're your What did your parents do? And how did that shape what you do?   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 03:44 Well, in fact, I have been always independent, I started working very early. I think I was the time 11 or 12 years old when I started lecturing some colleagues in school in hours after school, and I so I developed my independence very, very early in life, and always managed to do many things simultaneously. I think that's my characteristic. And besides my work with computers, I've always managed to bring them together. Studying and social activities and volunteering activities is very, very early. Ah,   Michael Hingson ** 04:40 well when you were 11 and 12. And you said you were lecturing to some of your classmates, what did you lecture about?   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 04:49 Well, in fact, I lectured about math about physics, about chemistry, about English. Many, there were some classmates who He had very difficulty in some of the subjects and the teachers always considered these people to be the those that would not be able to learn it. But I managed to teach them and to pass the exams. So there are parents who are very satisfied with my work. And so this was a tie for me a significant income source. It also allowed me to decide to what to do with my money, which normally is even those times was not the standard behavior for teenagers.   Michael Hingson ** 05:44 No, I certainly certainly wasn't. So did your parents encourage you to do this? In   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 05:51 fact, my, my father was never very involved with me. But my mother, in fact, encouraged this, because she knew that it, it was the thing I like to do.   Michael Hingson ** 06:07 And so she encouraged you to develop your talents. Did she work? Did she work?   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 06:13 Yes. She, she worked as a secretary at the big corporation.   Michael Hingson ** 06:19 And what did your father do?   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 06:21 My father was an eternal student, he was involved in some very exotic subjects, which I never got to understand the 100%. But he didn't have a, as far as I know, irregular or working skills for long.   Michael Hingson ** 06:45 But you were always interested in math and science and technology, which is, which is kind of cool. And you learn to program these computers that your, your chemistry professor told you about? So What languages did you program in? What did you learn?   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 07:02 Well, the first language I learned to program in was the basic basic Yeah,   Michael Hingson ** 07:10 I remember based on   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 07:11 that, but then I, I started studying the organization of the microprocessors, and teach myself to program in assembler also. Ah, yeah. So I learned the assembler for the apple, two chip for ADHD chip, and many others, I don't remember.   Michael Hingson ** 07:38 Well, so you, you did that in college. And when you left college, what did you? Well, when you graduate, you graduated? What did you get a degree in?   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 07:51 Well, in fact, the I don't know, this educational system here in Brazil is a little bit different. We get a standard nomination just for completing our studies as teenagers. And then we get into the university main factor, but when I left school, I started working. And due to this involvement with computers, first as a freelancer, and then in a very short time period, I managed to start working for a very huge local bank here in Brazil, where I was responsible for introducing this microcomputer culture. That was at the beginning of the 80s. And so I had the challenge to once again to manage my university studies simultaneously to this professional work, which was obviously was all day   Michael Hingson ** 09:02 what were networks like back then, so you talked about using micro computers, but they they had to in one way or another communicate with each other, I would assume, right?   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 09:13 Well, in fact, communication was very, very restricted. Yeah. We had some communication through serial cables. I remember Rs 232.   Michael Hingson ** 09:25 I know.   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 09:30 And another experiment I was involved, which is also uncommon. At that time, there were no printers for microcomputers. So we adopted telex machine to be used as a printer for microcomputers. But the don't the Telex machines don't use the ASCII character system. So we had to study how the Telex machines codes the characters they print, and then develop a routine to do the translation from the computer ASCII set character set to the set used by telex machines, which Alex Baldo was invented by a French mathematician called Bobo.   Michael Hingson ** 10:21 So, basically, when you printed something the the process was that the microcomputer whatever computer you were using would send the ASCII characters to a translating computer, which would translate and then send it to the printer.   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 10:43 Now, it was all running on the same computer. Okay, okay, we developed a co developed language, which was running behind the this high level programming language. Yeah. And we connected the Telex machine to the serial port. So it was all running on a single micro computer with 8k of RAM memory.   Michael Hingson ** 11:13 You didn't even have a parallel cable, huh?   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 11:15 No, yeah, I'm not.   Michael Hingson ** 11:19 Well, when I went to college at the University of California at Irvine, one of the things that I didn't have access to was any kind of a braille printer. They didn't really have much of any of those things back then. And one of the people in the computer science department, who I got to know very well Dick Rubinstein found a place that could well that had developed a sort of a way of making a braille printer it was using one of the wasn't an IBM Selectric. It was one of the computers with the little print cylinders, or one of the printers with the little print cylinders. And somebody had developed a routine that and they with a modified version of the cylinder that had some Braille dots on it in certain positions. And in certain rows. The, if I wanted to print something, the printer was actually connected to a PDP eight computer that did the translation. So I could have my print my compute Well, my keyboard and my system connected through a modem 1200 baud, and then this PDP eight would actually do the translation so I could actually get Braille print out. So it was a pretty fascinating sort of thing. And it worked. But, you know, that was back in 1971 1972. And 73 and beyond. But technology has changed a little bit since then, hasn't it? It   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 13:05 hasn't changed by many orders of magnitude.   Michael Hingson ** 13:09 Yeah, being sarcastic. Yeah. So you went to work for a bank? And what did you primarily do for them?   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 13:18 Well, in fact, today, he had bought some micro computers and didn't know exactly how to apply them in practice. So my my first job there was to develop the needed application software's in order to make these micro computers useful. And I started when then this was completed in a couple of months. Then they started buying more and more micro computers, and we needed more and more people. So I was at the time 20 something. And I had to manage a huge team. And to develop a group of new programmers which I had to train me I stayed there until 1986. And at the time I left I was 25. It was managing a team of 40 people.   Michael Hingson ** 14:22 Now when you were working at the bank, were you also doing work at Sao Paulo University.   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 14:29 Yes, in fact, at that time, I was a student now i i was studying at San Paolo university, because I was my wish to continue to study something related to math and science and computers. But at that time at the public university here in San Paolo the the only course available with lectures at night was a computer A Course, which was intended to build math professors. So that was the only choice I had. I went after it. And I, I decided to take that course. In fact, when I finished that course, that was one year after I left the bank, I had already started working on my own. Thanks to that, then I was able to start doing my course in as a master's in science, in computer science and applied math. And that took me another five years at the university. And after one year, and a couple of months, I was invited to become a professor at the computer science department stayed there for almost 12 years.   Michael Hingson ** 16:00 When you were studying and working at the bank, and then after you left the bank, you I think you started your own consulting and went out on your own right? Yep. Okay, how did you do all of that at the same time, because being a student is pretty much a full time job typically. And working at the bank had to be a full time job. That was a lot to do at once.   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 16:23 Yes, I think that's one of the my abilities I developed over all my life. And managing to balance these very different things requires, in first place, a lot of discipline. And on the other the other thing is, as I was studying many things I, which were, for me relatively easy. studying maths for me was never a problem in attending. Classes was enough for me to be able to pass the exams, net exercises, were just the task professors put on us, but they weren't for me learning to. Now I remember when I was in a very young child in six plus years, 10 years old. There was a professor basics Elementary School. Anyway, he didn't want to teach. He wrote a lot of math exercises, for class to solve. And when he, he ended up writing up all his exercises, I had already solved all but the last one. She took my piece of paper and use it to correct the exercises of the others. And I use this time, I had three inside class to do my other homework for the other. So the this was an example of how I was able to manage various things at the same time. So   Michael Hingson ** 18:07 you worked at the bank during the day, right? Yeah.   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 18:11 Well, so Brian, in the morning to 6pm.   Michael Hingson ** 18:15 So classes were mostly at night for you then because yesterday started   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 18:19 about 7pm and went until 10 3011. In the night, yeah. Wow.   Michael Hingson ** 18:28 I should do homework.   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 18:31 Well, I the same way I learned to read in school, inside the class.   Michael Hingson ** 18:37 Okay. Can you? Have you ever been able to teach other people to develop those same skills? Have you ever tried to do that?   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 18:48 Well, in fact, that's one of my current projects. I'm involved in its structure in this as a methodology to teach others to be able to do the same and multitask.   Michael Hingson ** 19:03 Yeah, and then be efficient. How's that working out? How is it working? Okay, are you getting? Are you having success of teaching other people to do it?   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 19:15 Well, in fact, I am starting in structuring materials I am not ready to as a public to offer this to the public at this moment. I hope to do this over the next 12 or 15 mil.   Michael Hingson ** 19:30 Well, it it sounds like it'd be a very fascinating thing to to do. And if you can actually develop a program and a process and teach people to do it. That would certainly be a beneficial thing. At the same time, you know, people do need to take some time to relax. Do you ever take time to relax?   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 19:50 Yes, of course.   Michael Hingson ** 19:51 Okay, just checking   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 19:56 about my life the best way I I like to relax is traveling. And and this is also a subject I have developed very uncommon experiences due to many other works. Now another way of relaxing, I always say relaxing doesn't mean doing something relaxing means doing something different from what you are doing that is changing your brain operation to a completely different area. This can involve something like traveling, I like very much to travel by car to plan travels to get to know people in the way they live, and not the way us tourist packages are normally offered. So to know people in fact, and another way of relaxing, let's say I developed also very early when I started with this at the time I was at the bank is in doing voluntary work, which involves promoting a course and provides a way to know a lot of other people which are interested in the same course which have the same goals. But which is different from the working and studying space. So switching from one environment to the other is a very efficient way to relax. Another arena I'm involved now for over 10 years is in sports. So that's another way of relaxing and I take this very seriously. Why is my schedule reserved for that? Doesn't matter how much it rains or whatever happens? What kind of sports? But I'm playing volleyball for 10 years   Michael Hingson ** 22:04 volleyball? indoor or outdoor?   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 22:09 Indoor indoor? Yeah, well, then   Michael Hingson ** 22:11 you get away from the rain. Okay. That's how you do that. Okay, I understand. Well, but even so, I hear what you're saying. And then you You really said something that I have felt for a long time. The problem with a lot of the guided tours and the tours that people buy is that you, you go somewhere and you're on a very strict schedule, and you don't really get to know people and you don't really get the same flavor of, of the environment that gives you a deeper knowledge and understanding and I'm buying with you I'd rather go somewhere and get a chance to meet people and spend some real time. My wife was a travel agent for a few years. Back when we first got married, and we would take occasional trips, familiarization trips, and again, they were they're well organized. But you didn't get to spend a lot of time it was as you would say today very touristy. And so we found that it was a lot more fun when we took our own trips and and really got to spend more time and get to know things a lot better than just the organized tours did.   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 23:27 Yes, I fully agree with that. I always try to do it that way. Obviously, when you have a very short scheduled, you have some meetings, for work or for some organization where I volunteer and you have to fly out and back in just one or two days, you're obviously cannot involve a lot of time to do that kind of exploration. But when I have at least a week to be at some place, I always like to reserve some time for these kinds of local incursions.   Michael Hingson ** 24:08 One of the things that I also do is try to find, of course, for me only knowing English it has to be in English, but local radio stations for example that I can listen to, to really get a little bit more of a flavor. But yeah, I think you're right. And as a as a speaker, oftentimes, I will go somewhere and not be able to spend a lot of time because it's like one or two days, and then I'm off again, or I come home. And so I don't get to know things as well as I would like. But I really enjoy it when I do have the time to spend a few days somewhere to get to know people and to get to know the country. It is so wonderful to be able to have that opportunity. Yes,   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 24:56 uh huh. Radio stations you mentioned are very interest thing strategy I also use during my my travels, I speak obviously, Portuguese, I speak English, I fluent in Spanish in German. So this allows me to, to communicate in many countries, but when I'm in a country where I don't know the language, the first thing I do is if I rented a car is hearing the radio. So accustomed the ear to the local language, and it obviously depends which country you are in, had, in some cases, it will be relatively easy. Let's say for example, when I was hearing the radio in the Netherlands, now understanding Dutch, if you're no English and German is not that difficult, once you will get a through the filter of the accent. On the other sides, you have languages, which are so complicated in their organization, that you can hear radio or even television for hours or days, and not be able to know the difference if you are hearing the news, or the transmission of a sports event. Yes. Chinese. To me, that happened to me in Poland, and Poland. In Poland, yes, the Polish language is very complicated, because it's, it's a language, which has roots in Slavic in Latin, and in the old German languages, like German and English. So you have for each word you have to know from which of these roots is word comes from. So it's very, very difficult. Well,   Michael Hingson ** 26:52 then you also have languages like Chinese, which are extremely complex and extremely different. From this, the civil ensign, and all aspects of it are significantly different from what we're all used to.   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 27:09 He has of course, the you know, you have languages like Chinese, or Japanese or Hebrew or languages, like the Armenian which use each have different writing structures and different sentence organization. But in this case, for example, if you look at written polish, they use the Latin alphabet, but it's not. It's not understandable. I spent more than a week in Poland and managed to learn the basics, but it's very, very difficult. Yeah, not least I was able to enter a restaurant and ask for sprinkling water or non sprinkling water correctly.   Michael Hingson ** 27:56 Yes, or, or carbonated water or not carbonated water?   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 28:01 That was too much. Yeah, yeah.   Michael Hingson ** 28:04 Well, I hear you, and, but it's, it is fun to go to different places. And I've had the joy of traveling to all 50 states in the United States over the years. And you know, there are different customs in different states. And it's fascinating just in this country. And you, you see some of it, of course, being around different countries in South America, and certainly one of the larger ones. And, again, the same thing, different customs, and it's fun and fascinating to to meet people who observe different customs, and we're used to,   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 28:42 yes, like that considered other privilege. I think it's something which I got back from my volunteering. I, when I started as an entrepreneur, I started to volunteer in it trade associations. And due to my ability to speak in various languages, in a couple of years, I was allocated to international relations. So I started to get involved in International Federations in this area. And due to this, I had the opportunity to, to travel a lot, mainly in in the American area, from Canada to Argentina and in Europe. But in all, in almost 50 countries have driven cars and 29 of them. You   Michael Hingson ** 29:39 You've certainly had a wonderful golden opportunity to experience a lot I I've been to a few countries, not 50 but I've I've been to a number and really enjoy the people and I think that's part of it is that we have to recognize that not everybody's exactly The same way we are and we shouldn't be disappointed if things aren't just the way we are used to hear or in your case where you are because people and different civilizations are different cultures are are different. And we should respect that. And I sometimes I've seen tourists who don't, which is unfortunate.   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 30:22 But in fact, the more civilizations and different cultures, you know, you'll have a, I think you'll have a better understanding of how human life in works. In fact, I think most humanity problems come from those people who live in a single culture, maybe due to religious beliefs due to some autocratic government, which are restrained into a very single position. But I think most most humans in our in, in fact, good people, even those involved in autocratic regimes. I, I want tell the guy's name. But for example, I had the opportunity to chat for hours and hours with a guy in Kuba, which was part of the official Communist Party. In Kubernetes, every couple of years now, you can have private businesses, but the licenses are only given out to members of the party. And I, it was my second time in Cuba. So I knew that I would be allowed to travel alone through the country, I went to visit a National Park, which is about 300 kilometers north of Nevada. And then I in the evening, I got to a very scenic city on on the shore. And this guy had who had the license to operate, small hotel and restaurant there. So he invited me to obviously pay to have dinner there. And then we started chatting I came in, it was still day, and when I left his place, it was already after midnight, to drive back to LA bhana. Another three hours, wow, come back to the hotel, because the Congress, the conference, I would I was participating got started next day. But it was a very interesting chat, and after some some doses of coupon room, he lost any restrictions on his talk. And then he, he told me about his real life.   Michael Hingson ** 33:06 And that's, that's the whole point is to get to know people well enough to really have the opportunity to understand. So it's, it's a lot of fun to do. Well, you so you continue to this day to do math and, and deal obviously with science and so on. But when you left the bank, what what did you start to do from a consulting an entrepreneurial standpoint? Although obviously, you had an entrepreneurial spirit before then, but what did you start to do to earn an income and so on after leaving the bank?   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 33:42 Well, in the first years, I worked as a consultant, I did some programming and I did a lot of teaching other people to learn to program at the time, the C language was on the market. And here in Brazil, there were very few people who were able to teach to other programmers. Yeah. So at that time, I, I started teaching and also writing I published some technical books in the programming arena, the time also was invited to translate some of the of the American authors which were writing about those subjects at that time. So, I, I had a lot of involvement and then when, at the university, I went into the working my thesis then I started to develop a project about the development of user interfaces. Now that was at a time where not even Windows three was on the map. market. And that was the the keystone to set up my my first former business. Yeah. That was 1990. Yeah.   Michael Hingson ** 35:18 Yep, Windows was was around. I loved MS DOS. But I also understand the value of windows and graphic interfaces and all the other things that Windows brought. But for a while MS DOS was a much more accessible language or system operating system for me to use then windows that wasn't really something that worked well with screen readers for blind people. And that evolved over time.   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 35:50 Technology always, always evolves. Basically, companies reframe recycling what they do in the you have to reinvent yourself every couple of years to stay on the market. And you have at this time, no, no it product you can buy, which is on the market for more than 10 years.   Michael Hingson ** 36:18 If that long, but yeah, and you're right. And and look, there are some things that although the products change, the basic concepts are things that have been around for a while, and it's just that they evolve. I mean, look at integrated circuits, what are they, they're, they're made up in part of a lot of transistors that that came around first, and transistors came from tubes. And although the theory is a little bit different, basically what they do, ultimately is the same thing, but we're getting faster and smaller and more efficient in everything that we do.   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 36:56 Yeah, in fact, that happens on the electronic arena and happens also on the on the math Friday, if you look at the papers written by mathematicians like poster from Neumann in the 30s and 40s the structure of current computers still obeys the basic ideas they put on paper. And the thing the what we are now seeing being developed, which changes this is what is called the quantum computers that right that will change the the theoretical background, but they are still very, very limited and needs to use standard computers as an interface because they have no interface of their own up to this moment. Right. So maybe that in the future, they there will be just add ons with very capable processors to do something with standard computers do not. But there is no no clear way for them to to gain the the main market for us to have these kinds of computers at home or in standard business. Right?   Michael Hingson ** 38:13 Not yet. But it will happen, it will happen. No, no doubt that it will happen at some point. Well, so going on that same discussion point. What about artificial intelligence, I actually listened to an interview with someone recently who said that the time is going to definitely come and maybe not in the too distant future. But the time is going to come that computers will be able to truly create on their own and truly have the potential to overwhelming what we do you think that's true?   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 38:56 I don't, I don't either. I don't artificial intelligence is a very old subject. I remember I was still a student at University. We were visited by a Japanese professors, which were coming down here to tell us about what other time was called the fifth generation computer project to develop artificial intelligence that's 40 years ago. So and we had a lot of press coverage during the last 12 months due to this kind of generative AI, which Chad GPG provides. And in fact, the algorithms which are based inside these kinds of plugs are known in the computer science arena for decades. The main point is computing power available at the time wasn't enough to build big enough models so that they can simulate being humans. That is the I think the main difference nowadays. But this doesn't change the basic conceptual fact that they are just reproducing a combination of facts and knowledge which they collected from other humans. And creativity is very different from neural networks are from other AI, so called algorithms,   Michael Hingson ** 40:40 so do you. So you don't think that with, let's bring back into a quantum computers and so on, that take processing to a whole new level, you don't think that will give computers the opportunity to become creative in their own right and compete for experiences?   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 41:05 I think we won't see this in our generation, I think the if you look at the human brain, in detail, science has still not explained how it works. how humans are, in fact, able to connect ideas which have been stored in your brain for decades. Like I'm using know my brain in order to answer your question. And what's happening in my brain in order to module the words I'm saying to you, that's not yet explained. So it would be very, very difficult to have something simulating something we don't know how it works. Yeah, that's about the, the number of neurons we have inside the brain of every human is still bigger than any computer ever built. The other point is economical, I think there's another factor which people are not looking after that this very huge AI models need a lot of computing power. So they are restricted to very huge organizations. And, in fact, we are seeing that the capacity of data centers, which are being used for by these kinds of models, is restricted to what's called by the President, the big tech companies. And smaller companies are just reminded to pay them to use their capacity. The other point is, the amount of electric power. And the impact on environment, this will all have could also be a limitation over time for the usage of this kind of computing. The same way. For example, it has been happening with some of these crypto currencies, which was also a church promise for big changes for humanity a couple of decades ago, and it still hasn't happened. In fact, we have obviously, you have a range of people using this kind of stuff. But it has not got mainstream mainstream is still standard money. Banks continue to exist. International trade is still conducted using standard money.   Michael Hingson ** 43:48 Well, and cryptocurrency took some big hits over the last year or two as well. And it is not the panacea that everyone said it was going to be.   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 43:58 Yeah, exactly. That's called culminate in it. Right. We frequently have this kind of huge promises, which then do not deliver. Metaverse, for example, is another example that was very huge in hype in marketing a couple of years ago. And it seems also to have been these appearing just days behind AI.   Michael Hingson ** 44:26 Yeah, yeah, we are. We're very fickle as a as a race. We just go by the latest thing or the thing that people start to publicize and we forget the other things and that that's a problem. We don't focus very well, especially over the long term.   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 44:47 Yes, the that requires the capacity to at first to remember all what has happened. And most people prefer to do Forget, yes,   Michael Hingson ** 45:00 we do not learn from history nearly as well as we ought to.   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 45:07 And so that we are condemned to repeat it.   Michael Hingson ** 45:11 Good point. Well,   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 45:15 someone wrote this before me, I'm just repeating it. I don't remember who wrote this.   Michael Hingson ** 45:19 No, I know what you're saying though. I, I've heard that too. So what made you decide to, in addition to work, in addition to working and to being in school and being an academic, now, are you still doing things at South Paulo University?   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 45:35 No, I left university at the end of the 90s. So you're just do my involvement in the I trade associations. Plus, at the time, I had little children, two boys to care for. So that was too much to synchronize on to manage all of this even for me, so I had to step down from university. People they didn't want me to live. It was a battle for almost two years to be be able to live better in the end i i left   Michael Hingson ** 46:17 children do take time, don't they?   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 46:19 Oh, yes. When they are small, especially. Yeah.   Michael Hingson ** 46:25 Well, but as they grow older, you have other challenges. Yeah.   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 46:31 You need less time, but resources, you will will still have too   Michael Hingson ** 46:36 many some less time. But it's got to be quality time. Yeah. Now, are you still married?   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 46:44 Yes. But I'm in a second marriage. Marriage went,   Michael Hingson ** 46:52 went went a different way. But it's good to have somebody to share with you as of course. Now, have you taught her to multitask and be as organized as you   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 47:05 think? Similar maybe not to the same level, but But I think when we get older we will learn to to see value in these kinds of abilities in other people's.   Michael Hingson ** 47:21 Yeah. Which is great. Why did you start volunteering and doing some of that in the first place?   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 47:31 Well, my, I had started volunteering, when I was still at the bank to organize user groups to foster the introduction of microcomputers here. And the time I was involved with the was called the Microsoft User Group, which   Michael Hingson ** 47:56 was, I remember that, yeah.   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 47:58 And I even had the opportunity to, to interact in person with Bill Gates when he was just a couple of millions words, not billings,   Michael Hingson ** 48:12 you mean that guy who said we never need any more than what was it? 64k of memory? Yeah. Okay.   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 48:19 She traveled here to Brazil for the first time in 1987. And at that time, due to my English, I was in charge to helping him out with the lectures, you was going to provide our meetings. And I also had a long conversation. One evening, in fact, one night, it was the, there was a huge meeting at the house of the guy who at the time was the president of the user group. And this guy had also commercial interests in representing Microsoft in Brazil, and he invited many politicians and other businessman and they were all on Bill Gates. sides the whole evening, and I remember it was always midnight, the owner of the house, called me in to decide and asked me if I was able to have a bit and bite conversation in English. I said, Yeah, of course. And then he said me it is. Bill Gates is already tired of speaking about economics, politics and business. He's asking for someone to talk about technical subjects. So I had the privilege to sit before the on a sofa line in in a room during that big house with Bill Gates. For almost two hours, chatting about technical subjects at that time, Microsoft was developing what was called the Quick family of programming languages, which then became the visual family, which is still on the market today in Visual Basic, and maybe the most normal. So I think the that was a privileged situation. Getting back to what you were calling about the volunteering, and you all to all these experiences, I also started writing as a volunteer for some magazines, some newspapers, regular columns, and due to this publicity, then people were the time leaders for the IT trade associations came after me and invited me to participate. And I, in that arena have a very long, very, very long training in on the person on the state level, then on the national level. And then on the international level. I so much that about eight years ago, I wrote a book about all these experience.   Michael Hingson ** 51:25 What's it called? Well,   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 51:27 it's written in Portuguese. Yes, the title translating into English, it will be something like, together, we are more, in fact doing. And you'll gather, a basic idea is when you gather together people which are after the same course, then you have a lot of techniques you can apply in order to influence public opinion, governments and to create relations about the communities you are connecting. Because business is always between people. So when you want to do international trade, for example, you have to develop in first place relations in second place, trust with other people. Otherwise, you can travel a lot, spend a lot of money, but you want to be able to sell anything. Go   Michael Hingson ** 52:25 back to Bill Gates for just a quick second, would you? Would you say that Bill Gates is clearly one of the leading visionaries of our time.   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 52:37 I don't think so, at current time, but he was at that time. Here and Steve Jobs said up infrastructure for change in the IT arena, which we are still experiencing. They're the consequences of what they set up.   Michael Hingson ** 52:58 What would you say are the leading visionaries today in in all of that?   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 53:04 While I think we don't have some someone we could call a very big visionary, some people, many people are trying to to be this person. But it doesn't matter if you look at Elon Musk or not the guy from Oracle that they are not presenting anything, which in fact will bring in us huge changes. As these two guys we were talking before half.   Michael Hingson ** 53:33 My My thought is Elon Musk's should have stayed with with the Tesla vehicles. He's done more to change and bring about and could do more to bring about change regarding vehicles and electric vehicles and so on and going into the technology world. Yeah, I think there are some issues there.   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 53:57 Yes, of course, but I but electric vehicles are not a new invention. In fact, electric vehicles existed before details which are powered on oil. So that is the first experiments done in German at the end of the 90s. In the late 19th century, were electrical vehicles. And then the oil based motors obviously showed much more power, so they replace them and that got into production. I think this is a an evolutionary process. What I think I've seen, yes, what is now called the traditional carmakers like Mr. Ford or Honda or the others. They have the capacity to produce similar products there is no invention and no patents and nothing which To avoid makes the Tesla production unique.   Michael Hingson ** 55:05 I guess I guess what I'm saying, though, is that I think he stood and stands a bigger chance of having a greater impact if he had stuck with that than going into to some of the computer stuff where he clearly does not. But, you know, everybody makes their own choices.   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 55:28 Yeah, of course, I think if you look at his his work at Twitter, then exactly. You're back. He's been able to, at least that's the way I see it. Yeah. But there has basically been destroyed by Yeah, he's his policies inside the company. Yeah, I think that's the people who have created the code or have left the company changing the name to make any good? No,   Michael Hingson ** 56:03 that makes no sense and doesn't doesn't help anything at all. Well, so you, you've been writing what are some of the more recent books that you've written?   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 56:15 Well, after this, this book for the IT trade association experience, I started working on another book in a very different arena, I I got involved in multiple support groups, for people and families, which are involved with addiction due to a problem in my current family. And due to all this experience, I had previously in in other voluntary movements, I was telling you before, then, I was able to understand the significance of this and also to ask questions, which most participants had never made before. So I was led to get to get in touch with the founders, the leaders and I myself, decided to research subjects which had not been researched before. Maybe you are the audience have heard about the Serenity Prayer which aims in the surface due to Alcoholics Anonymous, which is used in most of mutual support groups are most people just repeat it in a very mechanical way. And don't think about it at all. Think what it really means. Yeah. I had the that was another very interesting coincidence. One of the founders of the movement, I participated at the time, was an American priest, the father issues with Father, which was American, he was born in southern Texas near to the Mexican border and came here to Brazil at the end of the 60s, he lived pulled up 200 years and nine months in age. And during his last, let's say, five or six years of life, in fact, I, I had a lot of interaction with him. And he is has written the foreword to this book I wrote about the Serenity Prayer. He even instigated me to publish this book in the United States, put me in contact with some Jesuits in America. But then the pandemic came in. So this is still on the my to do list.   Michael Hingson ** 59:03 I hope it does get published in the United States, I think it would be very beneficial to do it, what got you involved in the whole issue of religion and, you know, in spirituality and so on,   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 59:17 but in fact, it's not. Religion and Spirituality are mixed up with you two interests or by many people, but in fact, they in my vision, they are two very different concepts. I was born in a Jewish family so I, I have this this word view since a child but I've never been orthodox. So I've always been open to to understand other people and even over time, participated in many other cultures. But the main fact is, when you look at religions, they try to explain how you have to behave or what's expected in order for you to get some kind of reward. Maybe in this world, or I suppose the next word, or will be after our, that's us, physically, humans. And Spirituality, in my view is something very different that spirituality is, in fact, a couple of rules, which teach you how to behave, how to act, so that you can benefit from that, and others are not damaged, by the way you are acting. And it's about interaction and action. And this is very different from religion, if you look at human history, doesn't matter. If you look at Western civilization, like the crusades in the middle age, or what's happening over the centuries in India, there are a lot of human wars, which have been fought just for religious differences. So that's a very, very complicated subject, which we could be talking about for hours, hours. Yeah. Well, I have even a whole speech about the subject, telling you this history of religions and how spirituality is different, is a very interesting subject. And it's, it is the subjects I touched in this last book. What   Michael Hingson ** 1:01:53 is so unfortunate is God is God, everywhere. But every religion thinks that it's the only way to get to God. And it's, it's, and God just supports that religion. And neither of those is true.   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 1:02:11 In fact, the most religious leaders tried tried to use this as a way of, in some way gaining power. Yeah. That's what history has, has shown us.   Michael Hingson ** 1:02:28 Yeah, it's it's not that way at all.   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 1:02:33 Of course, but the I think the this process of people understanding this and acting in a way, which is collectively positive for the whole of humanity, and it is, in fact, something which is still in its beginnings, we still have wars, for religious reasons.   Michael Hingson ** 1:03:01 Why Well, or we have wars and people, some of the people try to say it's for religious reasons, but it's not I mean, look at we've experienced over, you know, a little while the whole issue with Israel and Hamas and Israel, and and I'm not gonna say the Muslim world, because I think it isn't. It doesn't need to be that way. If you deal with the fact that in reality, that's the same God. But some people try to use it again for their own purposes, rather than really being very spiritual about it at all.   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 1:03:39 Yeah, the fact that the moment you fire doesn't matter if it's a rifle or a missile, or a bomb, you are damaging another human. So yeah, at that moment, you have stopped having a spiritual behavior, right, because you're out there in one direction you are sending in a nation. Yeah.   Michael Hingson ** 1:04:02 You mentioned mutual support groups. Tell me more about that.   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 1:04:08 Well, the this is what I mentioned, who wrote the foreword to my book. He was responsible, his name is was Harold ROM, and he brought to Brazil an American movement called the Townsville app to help families of people involved with addiction. That's got some kind of adaptation here in Brazil. And after a couple of years, this is movement is still active, but I participated there also. But I had some, some problems with it after this. This book came out I At some very difficult problems there. I think this, they were very, very stuck at what they had made up and didn't want to change anything. And I think the main reason behind is this, the contents I set up in this book that we're showing something was really needed. Now over any, any human invention needs to be adapted over time, because we are not, God, now we are not perfect. Makeup up can always be entered. And so now for it's now almost four years, we have set up a new organization called Conscious laughs translating it from Portuguese, which has the same purpose. But we have done a lot of updates to the methodology and having expanded it to cover not only addiction, but also other kinds of very difficult situations people can have in life, like, for example, people who have children with strong disabilities like autism, or, or others, which are really difficult to handle. So,   Michael Hingson ** 1:06:25 have you had any addiction issues in your family? Yeah. So that brings a personal and a little bit closer to home?   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 1:06:35 Yes, of course, the the addiction in society is still kind of taboo. And you know, most people don't know what's happening. Most people don't want to learn about it. And it's very, very, at least here in Brazil, most people who are not informed about the subject tend to do some moral judgment, while in fact, it's a disease. Yeah.   Michael Hingson ** 1:07:12 I know. And there are a lot of people who drink a lot of alcohol. I've never liked the taste of alcohol, I can drink wine, and I can occasionally have a drink. But I've seen people drunk. And I just don't ever want to be in that position. It doesn't help. I've seen how people behave. And some of the times it's not been from a person who's an alcoholic, they just overindulged once, when I was in college, there was one. One colleague, who just drank to excess one night, he wasn't an alcoholic, he never did it again. But he got really sick from all the drinking. He never did that, again, least in the time that I knew him. But you know, it's, it's a problem. And we, we also try to use some of those things to cover up our own fears. And we don't learn to deal with those either.   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 1:08:13 In fact, for whatever it is, most people are in this situation you are mentioning, they get sequenced, they consider it very, very bad to be in that situation. And don't repeat it. But that's another arena where science is still in depth with humanity. And there is a small group of people, which go into addiction very easily that is the but stay saints after using alcohol or other substances is so important for them that they transform themselves in a kind of slaves. Repeat this experience, again and again and again. And medicine already knows that when you repeat this process, the amount of alcohol or other substances, you need to provoke the same result in in your body gets bigger and bigger. So that's the reason why people who start to drink regularly then drink every time more as the in general, this brings huge health problems for people when they don't stop and it beings from other other kinds of what's called the more heavy drugs. In general, are people's people stop earlier because the consequences come up rapidly and   Michael Hingson ** 1:09:52 for the people who don't want to face the consequences, and it's not only a problem for them, but it becomes more of a problem for all of us. Yes,   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 1:09:58 and for people who We live with them. That's the point. Yeah. Every single person who's in addiction provokes problems for at least four other people around them. And that's the reason why these support groups exist, because supporting these people is not as a standard public policy, up to this moment in any country in the world, I know. Yeah, governments are into what's called the drug wars, and not about the process of healing families. Some health organizations around the world, help people who are in addiction, but the families around them have very little support. And   Michael Hingson ** 1:10:51 so they don't know what to do about it. And when well   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 1:10:55 not really know what to do, but it's so that the addiction changes people's right, you're very radically, right. This is it, this creates emotion, very strong emotions inside us when you live together with up to the point you think you are the worst person in the world, you're having a church problems that nobody else have passed through this. And this is not true. In fact, everyone who goes through this process has the same kind of behavior, but at this is taboo, you have no access to this information, then you are put into this obviously, the first thing we say in support groups, when you come in as you are not alone. There are a lot of people who have gone through the same process.   Michael Hingson ** 1:11:49 And that's the real point. And that's the value of support groups is that there are people who have been there they've been they've done that. And if you let them into your lives, and you learn a lot more about how to deal with it, and how to address it. Well, what kind of activities and initiatives do you have coming up? What's next for you?   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 1:12:11 Well, I, I'm I told you at the beginning of our conversation, I am into transforming my abilities in time management and discipline into a methodology is become probably another book will become, obviously, a lot of teachings. And structuring this kind of thing is very, it's a very, has to be done very carefully. Because you are you are involved directly with people's life. So the idea is helping people to live more significantly to balance all areas of life. It's customary that people say I don't have time to do that, and that, but it's just a matter of choices. No, every day, every moment we can choose what we want to do.   Michael Hingson ** 1:13:14 Always a bad choice.   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 1:13:15 Yeah, exactly. And choice. So this has to be done very carefully. And I think this this many experiences I've been telling you about has put me into a situation where I can understand the impact of this is it's very different when you talk about something like this with people like us in American scenario or if you look at people in other cultures. So this has to be in respected, but at the same time, humans are although there are differences, we have also similarities which can be explored if we are carefully to to deliver this, I believe worldwide. But this is a huge pretension and I am doing it carefully. So that it really goes through it. I'm not in a hurry to to produce this publicly. But I'm already developed some speeches with some parts of this. I think people are liking it. Well,   Michael Hingson ** 1:14:35 I hope it gets translated into English as it gets done and I can I would love to read it.   Roberto Carlos Mayer ** 1:14:42 In fact, we'll do the work we are doing in the cultures of movement. We are already developing many things in various languages. And while you were asking me the previous question, I was remembering a phrase from Elizabeth Gilbert now, he wrote that about their share experience traveling in the Middle East and then to the Far East. He was into the film, maybe you heard about her. And she was also a person which addiction problems. And there's a phrase I remember too, when you were talking about religion and spirituality, and he, she says that religions are the way they promise you to save you from hell. And spirituality is for those who have already been in hell.   Michael Hingson ** 1:15:42 That point? Well, I want to thank you for being with us. We, we've done well over an hour. And that's fine. That means we've, we've enjoyed it. And I hope everyone listening has enjoyed it. And I really appreciate you being here.

So how can people reach out to you learn about what you do as a consultant and so on?

Christopher J. Gervais is an award winning producer. His animated film Dream won a 2017 Golden Lion for film and a Silver Lion for music at the 64th Annual International Festival of Creativity. He is environmental and marine scientist and has decades of experience in field work and research with multiple academic institutions and natural history museums. A former science and social studies teacher, later an administrator, he became the youngest principal of a public school in the state of Florida. While a graduate student, Christopher conducted fieldwork and research to study the Pleistocene Mega fauna and their fossils that were deposited over 10,000 years ago. His study of these extinct species informs his concerns for preserving biodiversity and was a significant factor in the founding of the WCFF. Christopher was one of the first scientists to conduct underwater vertebrate paleontology research. He is a professional, advanced scuba diver with NAUI, PADI, SSI and NASDS with over 2,500 logged dives. Christopher founded the WCFF in 2010 using his life savings to get the organization off the ground and has maintained the operations since then. He is a philanthropic supporter of conservation organizations across the globe. Christopher is President of the International Exploration Society, Fellow of the Royal Geographic Society, member of the Ocean Geographic Society, friend of American Philosophical Society.“There are hundreds of environmental film festivals, and that's not us. We are really the only pure Wildlife Conservation Film Festival. And we've elected to have these events in large urban areas simply because of the disconnect with nature. Whether we've had it in Beijing or San Paulo, or places in Europe, we find that the people living in these large urban areas are just not aware of the wildlife and the biodiversity around them.Most people in New York City have never been to the Catskills or the Adirondacks, which is just a short drive from Manhattan. And there you can see wildlife year round, all four seasons. And that's one of the purposes of the festival. Our mission is very straightforward and simple: to inform, engage, and inspire wildlife conservation through the power of film and media.And we continue to build our global partnerships worldwide. We'll be returning to Monterey, Mexico, probably in late May or June for our third annual event there. We'll be in Rome and Naples, Italy in late September. And we're in negotiation with the United Arab Emirates about doing a film festival there in the Middle East for very late 2023 or early 2024. And through these partnerships, we get the word out, and that is our message. It gives me a purpose in what I do. I do not call it a job. I do not even call it a career. I call it life's mission. It's because of the hundreds of films that could be made annually, whether they're short or features from independent filmmakers that would certainly make an impact on saving a species and or an ecosystem. And when I am gone, there will be others that will run this in my place. I hope that's not for another 50 years, but we'll see. There are certain things I can and cannot control, but hopefully, it will keep me alive for a long time, and we can do quite a bit more.”www.wcff.orgwww.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.orgIG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

Latviešu kolonija "Vārpa" Brazīlijā atzīmē savu simtgadi un izdod latviešu izdevniecībai „Palma” veltītu dzejas krājumu "Ceļi, kas ved caur dzeju". Šajā nedēļā muzejs un pētniecības centrs "Latvieši pasaulē" rīkoja sarīkojumus par godu "Vārpas" latviešu kolonijas simtgadei. Berga bazārā, Rīgā, līdz 2023. gada februārim aplūkojama izstāde ""Vārpa" – latviešu kolonija Brazīlijā. Vēsturiskas fotogrāfijas no muzeja un pētniecības centra "Latvieši pasaulē" krājuma"". Tā sniedz ieskatu "Vārpas"kolonijas dzīvē 20. gadsimta 20. – 30. gados. Nesen Brazīlijā viesojās un ar tur dzīvojošajiem latviešiem tikās Rūta Muktupāvela un Valdis Muktupāvels.  Uzklausām Dienvidamerikas un Karību latviešu apvienības priekšsēdētāju Renāti Albrehtu, kura krājumā "Ceļi, kas ved caur dzeju" apkopojusi Brazīlijas preses izdevumos publicētu dzeju. Tā tulkota portugāļu valodā, lai latvieši pēcteči labāk varētu tuvoties saviem senčiem. 2013. gadā tapa dokumentālā filma “Vārpa. Apsolītā zeme”. Vairāk stāsta muzeja - pētniecības centrs "Latvieši pasaulē" vēsturniece, filmas veidotāja Brigita Tamuža, muzeja "Latvieši pasaulē" kuratore Marianna Auliciema un filmas režisors Bruno Aščuks. "Vārpa" ir ciems San Paulo štata iekšzemē Brazīlijā, kur joprojām dzīvo latviešu pēcnācēji un vecākā paaudze vēl prot runāt latviešu valodā. Vārpu nodibināja izceļotāji no Latvijas 1922. gada novembrī. Lielākā daļa no viņiem bija baptisti, kurus vadīja cieša pārliecība, ka visdrīzākajā laikā sagaidāma Kristus otrreizēja atnākšana, kurai pienācīgi jāsagatavojas. Pēc viņu domām, vislabāk no grēkiem varēja attīrīties Brazīlijas mūža mežā, tālu no civilizācijas vilinājumiem.

Según un nuevo informe de la ONG WWF, la deforestación se ha incrementado un 18% entre 2020 y 2021, tan solo en Brasil. Al llamado de Petro se sumó Nicolás Maduro, su par venezolano. Sin embargo, más allá de las buenas intenciones, detener la deforestación amazónica pasará por detener varias actividades económicas. La deforestación se agrava en la Amazonía y para revertir esta tendencia, el presidente Colombiano Gustavo Petro llamó a "revitalizar la Amazonía" que calificó de "esponja que más CO2 absorbe en el continente". El mandatario colombiano anunció que su país dedicará 200 millones de dólares anualmente para proteger el bosque amazónico. Petro recibió el respaldo de su par venezolano, Nicolás Maduro para coordinar una iniciativa regional. Sin embargo, si bien el presidente colombiano ha prometido suspender la exploración petrolera, su homólogo venezolano busca reactivar la producción petrolera e impulsa desde 2016 el controvertido Arco Minero del Orinoco. Un proyecto de extracción minera que cubre 70.000 km cuadrados de bosques. “En la medida en que Colombia, que está produciendo en este momento más petróleo que Venezuela, reduzca o no dé nuevas concesiones, en Venezuela estaríamos en el actual modelo de desarrollo. Se estaría propiciando el aumento de la dependencia petrolera y de la economía extractivista minera”, apunta Antonio de Lisio, geógrafo y coordinador de la Alianza Para la Acción Climática en Venezuela. “Nosotros siempre tuvimos, dentro de los recursos que se han valorado, el oro. Sin embargo, jamás se había llegado a un megaproyecto como el Arco Minero del Orinoco y jamás se había hecho el daño que se está haciendo a las áreas naturales protegidas de la Amazonía y la Guayana venezolana por el extractivismo minero”, recalca.   Además de la extracción petrolera y minera en Venezuela, Ecuador, Perú y Colombia, la selva Amazónica sufre de la tala ilegal de árboles, principalmente en Perú y de la deforestación con tala y quema para extender los cultivos y la ganadería, principalmente en Brasil. Será el mayor reto ambiental del presidente Lula, que iniciará su mandato en enero, dice a RFI Ricardo Galvao, profesor de física de la Universidad de San Paulo y ex director del Instituto de observación satelital INEP.  “Hay cerca de 29 grupos criminales que operan en la Amazonía, y no solamente en la brasileña. Lo primero que debe hacer Lula es una colaboración muy fuerte con los presidentes de Colombia, Bolivia y Perú para lograr un control de toda la actividad de los grupos criminales. La otra parte muy importante es conseguir un desarrollo sustentable en la Amazonía porque ahí habitan más de 30 millones de personas”, estima Galvao. Tras de la victoria electoral de Lula, Noruega anunció que está dispuesto a reanudar su considerable ayuda financiera para proteger a la Una ayuda suspendida durante la presidencia del ultraderechista Jair Bolsonaro. El regreso de Lula a presidencia suscita esperanzas de quienes quieren proteger la Amazonía.

En un contexto de aumento de las emisiones de CO2, las naciones industrializadas como China, Estados Unidos o los países europeos apuestan masivamente a desarrollar flotas de vehículos eléctricos para limitar la huella de carbono del sector del transporte. Pero los autos eléctricos no siempre son soluciones ecológicas dicen expertos a RFI. Son silenciosos y emiten poco o nada de CO2. Los autos eléctricos son cada vez más numerosos en las calles de las grandes capitales. Según cifras del Observatorio internacional de las transiciones energéticas, se han vendido 6 millones de vehículos bajas emisiones en 2021 en el mundo (incluyendo coches eléctricos, con hidrogeno o híbridos), lo que significa un aumento de 100% con relación al año anterior. China se impone como líder en el sector, seguido por la Unión europea y Estados Unidos que fijaron metas para erradicar poco a poco los motores térmicos. Para reducir sus emisiones de CO2, la Unión europea decidió por ejemplo prohibir la venta de autos con motores con gasolina o diésel de aquí en 2035. La misma decisión ha decretado el Estado de California en EE.UU. Decisiones drásticas que responden a las metas de reducción de las emisiones de CO2 que son la principal causa del calentamiento global por su efecto invernadero. Un auto eléctrico, sin embargo, aunque no emita dióxido de carbono, no siempre puede recibir el calificativo de ‘verde', de ‘ecológico' o de ‘limpio' como lo pretenden los constructores como parte de una estrategia de márketing. La Agencia para la transición ecológica francesa ADEME determinó que solo los coches con motores eléctricos de pequeño tamaño emiten menos CO2 que los vehículos convencionales. Y es que la fabricación de las baterías, desde la extracción de minerales hasta los procesos industriales, genera emisiones de CO2. Así que para que un auto sea considerado como ecológico, debe cumplir con varios criterios. “Sabemos muy bien que la explotación del coche eléctrico, ya una vez fabricado, deja de emitir CO2 si la energía con la que la recargamos proviene de fuentes totalmente ecológicas renovables”, recuerda Oscar Pulido, experto en electrificación de flotas para la ONG ambientalista Federación europea de transporte y medio ambiente. Pulido concede que “a día de hoy, no hay ningún producto que sea plenamente libre de CO2 en cuanto a fabricación. Entonces, no podríamos decir que el coche eléctrico produce 0% de emisiones [de gases de efecto invernadero]. No obstante, si lo comparamos con la de combustión y sus efectos que tienen en el medio ambiente, sigue siendo muchísimo más ecológico”, aclara. Sobre todo, si se toma la huella de carbono del vehículo a largo plazo. Incluso en países como Alemania o Polonia, donde la electricidad proviene en gran parte de la combustión de gas o carbón, andar en vehículo eléctrico recargado con fuentes de energías fósiles, "sigue siendo más limpio que en vehículo con motor de combustión", asegura Pulido.   Eso se debe a “la eficiencia de un motor eléctrico, muy superior a cualquier vehículo de combustión donde perdemos parte de la energía en el proceso térmico”, indica Pulido. “Entonces, el aprovechamiento que tiene, a pesar de provenir, por ejemplo, del gas, podemos poner el ejemplo de Alemania, es mucho más eficiente en un vehículo eléctrico. Lo aprovecharemos mejor”, insiste el especialista. En cambio, Pulido, al igual que otros expertos en transición energética, considera que los coches híbridos que combinan batería eléctrica y motor térmico ya no son una solución ecológica.  “El usuario lo utiliza más que nada con gasolina.” En cuanto a los autos con hidrógeno, “tenemos que entender que para producir el hidrógeno se necesita utilizar una energía”, recuerda Oscar Pulido. “Después ese hidrógeno hay que comprimirlo, hay que hay que transportarlo en ciertas condiciones y el simple hecho de transportarlo también requiere una energía. Y el mantenimiento del hidrógeno en las estaciones de servicio requiere energía. El hidrógeno es una buena solución cuando no se puede obtener directamente la electricidad, digamos, en un barco. Pero resulta un poco raro utilizar el hidrógeno cuando tenemos baterías donde podemos directamente almacenar la electricidad fabricada”, concluye. En América latina, una transición más lenta hacia transportes verdes En este nuevo boom de los autos eléctricos, América latina podría ocupar un lugar determinante en la cadena de producción.  La región tiene las mayores reservas de litio, indispensable para fabricar las baterías. Varios países o ciudades latinoamericanos ya han iniciado lentamente su transición hacia los transportes ecológicos. Chile anunció que el 100% de las ventas de vehículos serán eléctricos en 2035. México fijo una meta más modesta: para 2035 un tercio de los vehículos vendidos serían eléctricos. Y de momento, la transición abarca sobre todo los buses urbanos. “¿Qué pasó en América Latina? Que dimos una gran sorpresa al mundo porque empezaron a venderse buses eléctricos de China”, observa Monica Araya, ex negociadora de asuntos climáticos para el gobierno de Costa Rica. Hoy, es especialista en movilidad sustentable en la campaña para la electrificación de los transportes en la Fundación Climate Works. “En este momento la región tiene alrededor de 3000 buses eléctricos. Sólo en Colombia ya hay como 1800. Y hay 55 tipos de vehículos electrificados en Costa Rica, de 23 marcas que van desde 19.000 hasta 50.000 dólares, que son nuevos, otros de segunda mano, porque el país en el 2018 aprobó la primera ley de movilidad eléctrica en la región. Para que esto funcione [en América latina], tiene que haber una señal de la política pública, como la veo en China, en Europa y ahora, en Estados Unidos”, dice Araya a RFI. En varios países europeos, los gobiernos ofrecen subsidios directos o mediante reducción de impuestos a los ciudadanos que compren un auto particular eléctrico. En Latinoamérica, la transición hacia una movilidad eléctrica es impulsada principalmente por las metrópolis. Ciudad de México, Bogotá o San Paulo ya están renovando sus flotas de autobuses urbanos con la compra de vehículos eléctricos con efectos positivos para la contaminación y las emisiones de carbono. “La Agencia Internacional de la Energía dijo (leer comunicado) que la electrificación con renovables nos está ayudando a detener el crecimiento del carbono del dióxido de carbono alrededor de 1 billón de toneladas de carbono”, apunta Araya. El reto de una cadena de producción sustentable Algunos ecologistas, sin embargo, estiman que la transición hacia las flotas eléctricas será insuficiente para limitar la huella humana en el planeta. “Los autos eléctricos dependen de baterías fabricadas con materiales raros, como litio o coltán. Para extraer estos materiales, se necesita intensificar la minería en áreas naturales del planeta”, subraya Greenpeace México. ‘El transporte no sólo debe de ser eléctrico, sino eléctrico, público y masivo”, indica la ONG. El reto será entonces crear una cadena productiva de baterías sostenible. El barco de exploración Tara volvió a tierra El velero de exploración científica ‘Tara' que navegó por las aguas del Atlántico sur durante dos años y terminó su misión en octubre. A bordo, decenas de científicos trabajaron para estudiar los micro organismos oceánicos y protegerlos. Federico Ibarbalz, biólogo marino argentino del Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET, Argentina) navegó en el velero Tara para recolectar muestras de cocolitofóridos.

Imagine a with Jesus. starting into the day with you, having coffee with you. Driving to work with you. You're sharing your day with Jesus – and it's a day without judgement or condemnation.  It's just sharing your day. All day, in his presence.   Imagine a day like that. How could anything be better than that?  That's what these boys, these disciples, experienced, not just one dya but for three years.  They were with him, day in and day out. It's hard to imagine anything better than that.  But here, in John 16, Jesus tells them that he has to go.  He has to leave them because there is something better.  In John 16: 7 he says: it is best for you that I go away, because if I don't, the Advocate won't come. If I do go away, then I will send him to you. It's hard to imagine things being any better than Jesus being with us, day in and day out.  But that was only true for the twelve.   The twelve were having their eyes open to who God was, what he was really like.  Their eyes were being opened to the selfgiving, radically forgiving, co suffering, love of God. And that love was not just some but all.  Even his enemies.    It's better because When the advocate comes, he will awaken not just twelve, or some, but all,  the world will begin to see who God really is.   What God is really like.  The spirit of God would be poured out on all flesh.  And the beauty of God, the glory of God will be all, in all.   The presence of Christ in us – this, Jesus says, is best.  God's best is yours today.  Christ's  presence is with you today, whether you're in Cincinnati, Ohio, or Somerset, NJ, Perth, Australia, or San Paulo, Brazil. The world is being awakened to who God really is.   Jesus came from the Father, into the world, and returned to the Father.  But he did what was best.  He sent the Advocate – the spirit of Christ – to come and abide in you, and dissolve all the lies you've had about God, and to replace it with the face of Christ.  The Spirit's presence in you is doing that even today.

Critically ill patients often require IV fluids for resuscitation but questions remain about the optimal type of IV fluid and best rate of IV fluid bolus infusion. JAMA Associate Editor Kristin Walter, MD, MS, discusses a recent clinical trial that examined the effect of 2 different crystalloid solutions and 2 IV fluid bolus infusion rates on ICU patient mortality with Alexandre B. Cavalcanti, MD, PhD, director of the Research Institute HCor in San Paulo, Brazil, and Craig M. Coopersmith, MD, professor of surgery and director of the Critical Care Center at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia.

Rodrego tells his story of traveling back and forth between San Paulo. He continues to share how his media company was made and what they provide. Rodrego shares how he has seen the difference between living and working in Rio, San Paulo, and America. He gives insight to what he was interested in working with at the time of starting out in 2005, and how it was hard to start because social media was not as popular as it is today. Rodrego shares about his partners and how he still has business partners in different parts of the world and what that looks and feels like for an entrepreneur. Segment 2Jeremiah and Rodreigo talk about Rodregos involvement with fashion and luxury brands. Jeremiah asks how he got into art and creative content, and Rodrego tells that he not only studied it in university but also got a job involved with advertisement that expanded his horizon. He shares it was when he got involved with an upper scale company when he truly saw the heights his career could reach. Jeremiah asks about how he manages to balance and trust all his business partners. Rodrego tells both the good and the bad experiences that he has faced over time, and how he has learned and evolved over time in managing all his responsibilities. Rodrego tells how over time he has learned to say “no” and the confidence that he has gained by choosing confidently. Jeremiah emphasises the weight of trust and how it truly will affect business partners and the growth of a company.  Segment 3 Jeremiah and Rodrego talk about what it means being an entrepreneur, having multiple businesses, and still having time to do what you want. The two talk about the beauty about being able to step away from the company while still being involved in it. Jeremiah talks about how the pandemic had affected Rodrego and his companies. Rodrego tells how they flourished during the pandemic and expanded, he spoke about his Jiu Jitsu company and how that not only began but grew after partnering with Gregor, a guest of Jeremiahs on previous episodes. Segment 4Jeremiah restates the highlights of the show, bringing up how important the people you surround yourself with are, as well as remembering to let go of some of the responsibilities. Jeremiah continues to talk about how he has seen so many entrepreneurs that they don't let go, but it is impossible to do it all when creating a company. Giving up some responsibility to a partner shows trust and lets the process flow much more smoothly. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-entrepreneurial-web/donations

In listening back to this episode with my guest Mike Lloyd I was reminded of John Miles 1976 hit “Music”. It's not a track I particularly like musically but I have always loved the sentiment in the lyrics: “Music was my first love, and it will be my last, music of the future, music of the past”.  It's very clear that those lyrics apply to Mike, and in this episode, he takes us on his journey since the 70's to seek out fun, interesting, innovative and challenging music, that at times has also been a guide and a moral compass for him. He now lives in London, with his wife Carmen and close to his two children Roslyn & Rees. Originally from Llanelli in Wales, Mike has travelled to over 30 countries during his career and had stints living in Brussels and San Paulo. All that travel has influenced his musical tastes and during our chat I believe he touches on more categories of music than any other previous guest. Mike is a deeply curious technologist and writer with a lifelong passion for learning. In 2013 he launched his own business https://www.learn-tech.io/ with the goal of making the complex simple and democratising deep technology. In addition to music Mike loves science, culture, modern art, and cinema. Being Welsh, rugby is inevitably added to that list. Mike's song choices are: 60's                      Led Zeppelin                                                    Ramble On 70's                      The Who                                                          Love Reign O'er Me 80's                       New Order                                                       Blue Monday90's                      Buena Vista Social Club                                Buena Vista Social Club 00's                       Elsa Soares                                                       Mas Que Nada 10's                      Tom Jones                                                       Did Trouble Me 20's                       Roslyn Lloyd                                                    Wait & See In addition we also played out with “Eclipse” from Pink Floyd. Mike's wide ranging taste in music is represented in this Spotify Playlist which contains a song from every artist mentioned in the episode. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4SsorofgvtomcjAI9qQ5JX?si=0b971ba859e74bf0

Key areas of research and professional practice include design driven education and training, value-intensive management, service design and innovation, policymaking, business models and ecosystems, entrepreneurship, and global management.Today we are pleased to have Mikko Koria is with us and engage in a reflective chat about design, research, identity, interdisciplinarity and ethics. Mikko introduces himself as a person who has never quite figured it out and is constantly driven by curiosity to understand what is around the corner. From here on, we discuss design innovation and its inherent interdisciplinarity. How does a designer use the co-creation tools differently from an anthropologist? How to give voice to the people who do not understand their input? How to work around different agendas and achieve a joint meaning? At the end, Mikko reflects on the humane qualities that might bring a design practitioner closer to figuring out the unknowns.Mentioned in Podcast: Institute for Design Innovation at Loughborough University London, https://www.lborolondon.ac.uk/institutes/design-innovation/Social media: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikko-koria-44864a1/

Dans Radio Foot aujourd’hui, nous évoquons l’émotion consécutive à la disparition du «Pibe de Oro». De Giresse à Matthäus, de Pelé à François Omam-Biyik, les joueurs qui l’ont côtoyé ou affronté sont unanimes pour saluer le talent du numéro 10 passé par Boca Juniors, Barcelone et Naples. Un hommage qui va au-delà du monde du football. Nous nous rendons à Naples, le stade San Paulo est resté illuminé toute la nuit en hommage à la légende sportive. L'enceinte pourrait bientôt porter le nom de son idole.  Nous allons en Afrique où la disparition du milieu offensif, mi-ange, mi-démon, souvent attachant, parfois excessif a suscité l’émoi. Nous revenons sur son parcours en club comme en sélection, comme joueur et comme entraîneur, nous évoquons la fameuse rencontre du Mondial de 1986 face à l’Angleterre, et la « main de Dieu » qui restera comme l’une des images les plus mémorables de l’histoire du foot. L’époque où Maradona et la sélection Albiceleste ne faisaient qu’un. Quel héritage laisse-t-il ? Verra-t-on à l’avenir un joueur de cette dimension ? Autour d’Annie Gasnier et Alejandro Valente pour évoquer l’Argentin : Bruno Constant, Gilles Verdez et Dominique Sévérac. Préparation : David Fintzel/Pierre Guérin. Technique/réalisation : Laurent Salerno. Coup d’envoi 16h10 T.U.  

Adriana Bertini is a brilliant fashion designer whose innovative creation of condom art hangs in over 35 museums around the world. Her collections belong to some of the greatest celebrities and designers, even though Bertini left the haute couture fashion industry three decades ago to work with impoverished youth living in the streets of San Paulo, Brazil. Many of them are LGBTQ kids that suffer violence and also the scourages of sex trafficking. Bertini educates them about sexual health and rebuilding their self-esteem through art. Her selfless and dangerous work in a COVID-ravaged city models leadership built on kindness, sacrifice and radical generosity. This is her story.

Sue Gibbons is a fine artist residing and working in the Denver Metro area. Her work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions regionally but also internationally with the "Book About Death" at the Brazilian Museum of Sculpture (MUBE) in San Paulo, Brazil. Her work has been included in publications such as Fusion IV, Christianity and the Arts, Mars Hill Review, and First Fruits – A Compilation of Art. Sue believes her abstract work is guided by the Spirit and she hopes it will console the viewer, who may need to find some peace amidst the inner chaos residing in all of us. "As an artist, I seek to reveal the messiness of the human condition at the moment we call on our faith to deliver us from it. The paintings and drawings then, become a sacred place of being, of seeing, and of experiencing that which makes us human." Excerpt from Sue's Artist Statement.

Your Advocate is Here Today’s readings are Jeremiah 16 – 17, Psalm 96 and John 16.  We are reading from the New Living Translation. Imagine Jesus, physically with you today.  Imagine what a day like that would look like.  Imagine Jesus waking with you, starting into the day with you. Perhaps you share a cup of coffee before you head out to the car, and the commute, and into your day. He joins you at your desk or workplace.  He’s sitting at the table, across from you, at lunch as you share a meal together. You’re sharing your day with Jesus – and it’s a day without judgement or condemnation.  It’s just a day in each others presence. Imagine a day like that.  Wouldn’t that be something? How could anything be better than that?  That’s what these boys, the disciples, experienced for three years.  They were with him, day in and day out. It’s hard to imagine anything better than that.  But here, in John 16, he tells them that he has to go.  He has to leave them because there is something better.  In John 16: 7 he says: But in fact, it is best for you that I go away, because if I don’t, the Advocate won’t come. If I do go away, then I will send him to you. But first he has to go to the Father, he tells us.  And the route to the Father is through the cross.  It’s at the cross that He makes righteousness available to all who will believe in Him.  He makes us right with God, for life, right here, right now.  He’s saying that It’s best if He goes away, so that He can do all of that for us.  It’s hard to imagine things being any better than Jesus being with us, day in and day out.  But that was only true for the twelve.  But by leaving, He was doing the ‘best thing’.  Others would come to discover the life and righteousness that comes through following and living in him.  It’s best, he says, because when I go away,  I will multiply my life into the lives of many many others.  My presence will be multiplied through the advocate, abiding in all those who believe. The presence of Christ in us – this, Jesus says, is best.  The presence of Christ is with you today, whether you’re in Cincinnati, Ohio, or Somerset, NJ, Perth, Australia, or San Paulo, Brazil. Christ is being multiplied in all those who  are believing and trusting in Him at this very moment.   Jesus came from the Father, into the world, and returned to the Father.  But he did what was best.  He sent the Advocate – the spirit of Christ – to come and abide in you, and that makes all the difference.  Through this Advocate, you can begin to experience hope like you’ve never had it before.  You can begin to experience Christ in you, your hope and glory.  Jesus says it’s best that it is this way.     You can really imagine today, that Christ is with you, as you get up, drink your coffee, head on out for the commute, work at your desk, break bread at lunch, and return home in the evening. In all the things that go on from morning til night, imagine that Christ is with you, because it’s true!   Christ has multiplied.  He has come to live and dwell in us.  And we can begin to experience the joy of it, right now.  Live in this ‘best thing’  with anticipation and joy for what God is going to do.

Animator Chance Glasco is famous for his work on video games, most notably the Call of Duty Franchise. His newest venture, Doghead Simulations, is using Virtual Reality to replace and improve conference calls, video calls, and screen sharing. Imagine being worlds apart, yet able to meet together face to face, sharing data and information in real-time, through a virtual reality environment that works across a variety of platforms and operating systems. TRANSCRIPT: Intro: 0:01 Inventors and their inventions. Welcome to Radio Cade the podcast from the Cade Museum for Creativity and Invention in Gainesville, Florida , the museum is named after James Robert Cade, who invented Gatorade in 1965. My name is Richard Miles. We’ll introduce you to inventors and the things that motivate them, we’ll learn about their personal stories, how their inventions work, and how their ideas get from the laboratory to the marketplace. James Di Virgilio: 0:38 I’m James de Virgilio in for Richard Miles . And today I get a chance to talk with a rather famous, and I heard you said this in a podcast Chance, a famous, but maybe not famous on the street, developer who’s now doing some really interesting things. His name is Chance Glasco. He’s sitting down with me here at the Cade Museum, and we’re going to talk about a couple of things today, a Chance. Let me give you your bio. You’re the Co-founder of Infinity War, that’s what you’re famous for, which produced Call of Duty and the really good Call of Duty games. I think it’s important to say in there , and then you are now the Co – founder since 2016 of Doghead Simulations. And we’re going to spend quite a bit of time talking about this today. What, first of all, why start Doghead? You were in Brazil for a while . You had kind of given yourself a little mental space. Why come back with this project? Chance Glasco: 1:25 So after , um, 13 years of Call of Duty, 15 years of the game industry, I was just burned out. As you probably heard. The game industry is a lot of hours, a lot of crunching late nights. Yeah. They feed you, but you’re there 12 hours a day, sometimes six days a week, and whatnot, it just kind of takes a toll on you. And you, you know, at a certain point, doesn’t matter how much someone pays you. If you can’t enjoy your life, what does it matter? Right. And so I guess I kind of pulled like a Dave Chappelle in a sense , right. I just kind of left the country and went to another place, which was Brazil , uh, lived there for , uh , overall, I close to three years, about two years in Rio and then , uh, six months or so, and , um , San Paulo and , uh , yeah , just enjoyed it and just kind of relaxed, recovered, and started working on a VR project remotely with a buddy of mine, Albert Perez, who’s another Co – founder of Doghead. He was in Seattle, I was in Rio and we were working on this game called Bear Tinder. And it was actually a , um, animal bartending game. You’re in virtual reality, you’re a bear. And then animals come in and they order drinks and you actually reach behind you, grab the bottle, you know, and grab everything, start mixing stuff, get points, serve them. And eventually ended up with just this crazy drunk animal bar. So like, why am I not doing a drunk animal game now? Well, investors, would probably be the correct answer, right? You’re a money guy. So, you know, like if someone came to you, with the background of Call of Duty is like, Hey, I’ve got this great idea. You can get drunk with a goat and a chinchilla in VR, or, Hey, I’ve got this idea that can revolutionize communication education. Like the investors are going to go with the second choice, most likely. James Di Virgilio: 2:55 That’s for sure. So you were working on something very creative and fun. Chance Glasco: 2:58 Yeah, something as far as from Call of Duty as I can get basically. James Di Virgilio: 3:02 And now it’s morphed into something a little more serious, a little bit more professional, more buttoned up maybe? Chance Glasco: 3:06 So, the segue from that was , uh , we were collaborating and I think we were initially using Skype and, you know , um, Skype is not, I don’t know how Skype managed to get worse over the years, but we were very frustrated and it wasn’t just the software itself. It’s just that we had I had five megabit down internet, you know, I was like two streets from a favela. It was not like this, you know , broadband one gigabit experience I was having , um , you know , uh, there’s a lot less bandwidth used if we did this in VR. Cause the video uses a lot of bandwidth. But in, in VR, if you’re in a social situation while we’re sending audio, just like you would on a video conference call. But instead of saying video, we’re sending the XYZ coordinates of your hands and your head. Cause that’s all being tracked. And then applying that to an avatar. And so not only did it solve our bandwidth issues, it was just a much better experience for conferencing remotely. You get in there and in good VR, actually, most of you are now , uh, we’ve gotten to the point where you’ve experienced presence. It’s a sense of actually being somewhere, you put this thing on your head, your subconscious mind buys into it. Your conscious mind knows you’re in VR, right? And so we were like, wow. Or I feel like I’m here with you. Like we’re hanging out in VR. You feel their presence, social presence enters the equation. Once you network other people in there. And they’re like, well, now that we’re hanging out and we’re talking, wouldn’t it be cool if we could like, you know, maybe bring up a PDF or think of a 3D model that we’re working on for the game or something. Um, and so the tool that was fixing our collaboration issues ended up being a product kind of classic story. James Di Virgilio: 4:35 That is a classic story . That’s what I was thinking. As I heard you say, this is, so you just try to solve a problem you had with your Co-founder and then you stumbled upon what is now the primary development piece for, for your studio. The first thing that came to mind for me was what you just said is have done VR before. I have a hard time having my subconscious buy into it. I recognize him in a , in an environment that seems a little bit blurry or it seems a little bit weird and I’m doing things in there. But to hear you say that it’s tracking movements that you actually felt like you were able to read the mannerisms of your Co – founders seems amazing. It seems to transformational. Are you finding that the marketplace desire or something like this for a video conferencing solution? Or is this a hard , a high hurdle to overcome? Chance Glasco: 5:16 I mean, this is something that the market demands, but they don’t know they demand it yet or they do. They just don’t know what it is. They just know that they don’t like video conferencing. But think about like, like Henry Ford, I don’t know exact quote, but something like, “If I would ask people what they wanted , they would’ve said a faster horse.” People like , Oh , want better video conferencing. This isn’t very good. You don’t like video conferencing, not because, Oh , it’s pixelated or you don’t like, because you’re not there with them. It doesn’t matter how good you make video conferencing. You’re still looking at a set of boxes on a screen. And that screen might fill , you know, 30% of your field of view . And then you’re like, well, who’s talking, I don’t know all this people. Let me look at, Oh, that person’s mouth is moving while the audio is coming out. Okay. So I guess they’re talking right. Well in VR, if like, let’s say this was Rumi , right? This is our software we’ve met we’re in this environment. This is the 3D rendering. If I’m looking off to the right and I hear you talk, I’m going to hear you out. I’m sorry if I’m looking to the right. Uh , and I hear you talk, I’m going to turn my head left because I heard you out of my left ear. I know you’re to the left of me. Right. That’s natural. That’s what we’re used to experiencing. It doesn’t happen via conferencing. You’re just scanning like this little boxed area of who’s talking, right. Body language. You don’t really get that in , um , in video conferencing. Um, yeah, you can see like their upper body, but there’s no depth. You don’t get everything below that. And it just doesn’t really translate. And so when you’re in VR, people typically will just kind of circle up if they’re in a group, just like you would in real life, like a semicircular circle. When they’re talking, I can see multiple people this way, this person talks, I can turn my head left. You know? So it’s just, we’re basically, we’ve recreated that in person experience using VR. James Di Virgilio: 6:49 It’s , it’s a couple of interesting things. One, you just mentioned that sort of circle, which I think whenever I come out of a movie, people tend to form a circle and you discuss the movie, like it’s the natural human. This is how, and you’re seeing people naturally in the VR world where they could go anywhere they want, right. They can take their avatar and turn away from you, but they don’t, they’re actually forming the same social formation you’d form in the flesh. Chance Glasco: 7:12 You’re utilizing 3D space. Video conferencing, it’s just a 2D panel in front of you, you know? And so when you utilize 3D space, you can do more of it . James Di Virgilio: 7:20 I think one of the most interesting things that I, that I read that you had , um, you had said, and I think this is totally true, is when you put the VR headset on, you’re not distracted and with video conferencing or conference calls, I think anyone listening to this podcast knows that you’re on mute or you’re typing an email or you’re browsing the internet and you’re half listening, but the VR set is fully immersive. So you’re actually in the space with the person, much like you would be one on one. Chance Glasco: 7:45 Yeah. There was actually a study from source enter call that I realized that 70% of people in video conferencing are doing something completely different. And at least one of the things , and it was emailing, it was texting, it was playing games, going into the bathroom, like all kinds of stuff. Right? So when you’re in VR and a hundred percent of your reality is being rendered. It’s not like AR where you’re rendering, you know , 3D over the real world. You’re completely blocked out to the real world. And so, and you had headphones and you’ve got headphones on. Right? And so, because of that, you know, you’re not, if I reached in and grab my phone, and get my phone out I’m not going to see my arm. I’m not going to see my hand. I’ll see my 3D avatar hand, but I’m not going to have a phone in it because that’s in the real world. Right? So it’s just a much better way to focus. And especially when with school, like if you think about online school, I don’t know if you’ve done any online classes, but people don’t have like memories. They don’t reminisce about online school. Hey, remember that time I typed that funny joke and hit enter, and then you type ha ha ha ha. And hit enter. Hell yeah. That was hilarious. Like you never have you ever , never have conversations about the online school, but what if you’re in a , what if your friends is what Harvard is doing? Harvard is using our software to teach Egyptology to Harvard students. And , um, I , uh , university in China. So you have Chinese students and Harvard students in a Egyptian pyramid, a 3D model and different pyramid with the PhD in Egyptology teaching them. They’re gonna remember that. They’re not going to remember the video of the guy talking and the text chat, you know? James Di Virgilio: 9:13 Yeah. You’re absolutely right. I took a lot of online courses at the University of Florida. And then just remember maybe a weird thing the professor did, but there’s no collaborative field. Chance Glasco: 9:22 It’s kinda de-humanized. James Di Virgilio: 9:23 Yeah. It is. It’s a guy on a screen talking that’s that’s fascinating. So they actually feel this. So Harvard is , is presumably one of your? Chance Glasco: 9:31 Yeah, Harvard, Full Sail University, Michigan, I’m sorry. University of Michigan, Wolverines? Yeah. I don’t sometimes there’s like, you know , it was like Florida State can say let’s just rearrange state’s names and the word state into five different colleges and expect you to remember their names. James Di Virgilio: 9:48 So, so your technology is potentially changing the landscape of video conferencing and allowing for an immersive, almost realistic experience anywhere across the world? Chance Glasco: 9:56 Yeah. I wouldn’t say, I said replacing rather than changing, you know , it’s like for instance, we had, you know, we have the first to telegram right? Then like a phone call and then we had , um, you know, audio conferencing and video conferencing. But for the history of human beings, we’ve been communicating from a very complex exchange of facial expressions, body language. Um, there’s all these little details that come together. And when we’re having a conversation , uh , my little shots of either serotonin and dopamine are coming from your little micro reactions in your face, you’re nodding your head, these things. So we’ve basically for the sake of convenience , um, you know, over pretty much during your , um, your lifetime in my lifetime have stripped away all of those human aspects of communication for the sake of convenience. Right? And so what we can do with the VR technology is we can actually rehumanize social media, you know, where we’ve got your body language , um, the new headsets , uh, the new Vive Pro Eye has eye tracking and that’ll probably be a standard feature in the future for most headsets. So now we have like how you’re moving and what exactly like what exactly you’re looking at. You know, just having one to one eye movement in VR , I have an avatar that’s the eyes are moving, how the real person’s moving. That adds emotion that has empathy. And so we’re kind of fooling your brain in a sense to feel. I mean , I don’t know if fooling is the right word where we’re just transferring more of those human aspects into your digital environment. So to give a sense of empathy. James Di Virgilio: 11:16 Now, is anyone else doing this? Is this is this patent protected and how, where are we in that ? Chance Glasco: 11:21 I mean, you can’t, you know, you can’t really patent protect the idea of people being networked in VR, you know , and that in itself is not necessarily a completely unique idea. I mean, we’ve had network games for awhile , but most of the companies that have are known are focusing more on the social, social aspect, not this, like we’re a private invite kind of system like Slack, right? You’re going to get to create a team and you invite people via email. Um , you’ve got other companies that are more of like an AOL chat room. I’m like in the early days we were just going in there and you’re talking to people I’m just more focused on some entertainment. And we realized there was a , a gap of like, Hey, what if you want to be productive? What if you want to get drunk together and actually be productive rather than just be like, Hey, where are you from? You know, that stuff, you can do that in Rumi, but you have to be invited to that team to speak to someone. James Di Virgilio: 12:05 And Rumi is the name? The actual application? Chance Glasco: 12:08 Yeah. Are you MII? Um , in Doghead Simulations is our company name dogheadsimulations.com is our website. But if you, I recommend if you’re gonna get Rumi, get it off of steam because there’s an auto updater. If not, you can go to our website and get it. And it’s free. It’s free up to five users. And so pretty much any small project can use it without paying anything. James Di Virgilio: 12:28 And this works on a wide variety of VR headsets and it also works on non-VR. Chance Glasco: 12:32 So we worked with work on pretty much every PC and Mac made in the last five years for non-VR mode. Uh, we support every major PC, VR headset, you know, the vibe, the Oculus, everything that’s steam, VR, everything, windows, all the windows headsets. And we also support the Oculus Go and the newest head site , which the museum just purchased a bunch of was Oculus Quest. And that’s what I’m really recommending for people right now. It’s not the most high fidelity headset because you’re, you’re not tethered to a PC. It’s basically a cell phone processor that’s in there, but it’s, there’s no wires and it’s easy to use. You put it on. It goes, it’s an amazing experience for $399. You didn’t pick them at best buy once they’re in stock again. But that’s the one that I think is really going to break through. It just came out like two weeks ago, maybe three. It’s a really, I think take VR into the mainstream. James Di Virgilio: 13:16 A couple of years from now, if we look back on this conversation and this time period, what would you like to see Doghead Simulations accomplish? Chance Glasco: 13:22 Yeah. There’s a lot of things I’d like to see. For instance, you could , you know, you can record your screen and have a video of a meeting, but imagine if we actually recorded your position in space, your body language, what you’re doing, all the audio, you could actually revisit a VR meeting almost like the time machine. You go into that environment. And all the avatars are playing back exactly what people were doing, what they’re saying, what they’re interacting with. And that’s cool because I imagine like, Oh, I missed that meeting, you know, last month, let me just go back into it. It’s exactly the same experience they would have with exception that if you talk to these people who quote unquote, they’re not going to respond because they’re basically recordings at this point. James Di Virgilio: 13:57 That’s amazing. I’m really looking forward to using the technology I played around on your website. And I know beforehand, as we, as we wrap up the show, we want to talk a little bit about your background. You and I both had played some baseball and I heard on a different podcast. You talked about wanting to be a baseball player or an astronaut. And instead you wound up going down this path of developing, you know, one of the most famous games of all time, one of the most popular games of all time. And now you’re working on this. I know that no one’s success path is linear. It’s not a , it’s not a bottle rocket of success, not a rock show success. Tell me a little bit about what it was like for you coming through these different dreams you had and realities you had and going to Full Sail and kind of, what did that look like? What does your picture look like? What’s the story of Chance? Chance Glasco: 14:38 I was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and I ended up well, it’s complicated. Technically I was kidnapped to Florida and missing for several years. But that’s a whole other podcast, but I ended up staying in Florida in the end. Um, and , uh, I went to Full Sail University. I , um, I’m a graduate of Satellite Beach High School, a class of 99′ of Satellite Beach , uh, spent most of my childhood in Brevard County , uh, Titusville, Cocoa and, you know, Indian Harbor all at that area. And then , um, I find out about Full Sail. I was like, Oh, this is a really cool school. It’s different. So I went of there, checked it out, I was like, I definitely didn’t go here. Didn’t have any money. Took about 40 grand in loans out to cover living expenses and school and all that stuff. I graduated 15, 16 months later, get an internship working at 2015 on Medal of Honor Allied Assault. And then that was successful that we didn’t like we work for. So 22 of those 30 people left, we started Infinity War and had to create a franchise that would compete with Medal of Honor, which we ended up calling Call of Duty. So that’s a , and then that kind of segues into what we talked about earlier is 13 years of that. But the success thing it’s like, it kind of just creeps up. You know, it’s like after when a Call of Duty one came out, no one heard of the franchise, cause it didn’t exist before they just need some Medal of Honor people made a new game. And so that was ended up like at first, not very popular, but because the reviews were so high people started buying it and they just hadn’t heard of it. And then multiplayer kind of made it stick and then Call of Duty two ee had Microsoft ask us to make a launch title for the Xbox 360. So that doubled our sales because we’re now on two systems PC and in 360 and then Cod Four broke us into like basically we’re up there with a Halo and GTA when it comes to sales and then buy Call of Duty, Modern Warfare two. It was, we were beating an Avatar, the box office, you know, so we went from, you know, one of the top three game franchises to , uh , biggest grossing entertainment franchise in probably that decade or somthing so. James Di Virgilio: 16:28 Which is just simply amazing. And here you are with me at the Cade Museum having a conversation and what you’ve had, like you said, many of these conversations, and one last question for you, Chance, if you could go back and tell your, your first entrepreneurial self, so you leave the company you’re working for, you start a infinity , what would you give yourself as a word of wisdom? What would you say, Hey, you’re going to have all the success and things are gonna happen to you, but you kind of anchor to this. What would you tell your previous self? Chance Glasco: 16:53 It sounds really good. Seemingly really good opportunities come along , um, and be careful with it , what your , your choices are. You know, it’s kind of like, you know, someone gets offered, what they think is like a really good record deal. They’re like, Oh wow, we got a record deal or whatever. And then they realize , you know, two years down the road that they were kind of blinded by the fact that there is a record deal and thought, you know, it’s magic or something and made some bad decisions. Maybe, maybe they should have waited for a different record company. Right? I don’t know that’s too cryptic, but? James Di Virgilio: 17:21 Maybe patience with not every opportunity. Chance Glasco: 17:25 Patience, yeah like sometimes when you get some amazing opportunity, that’s the first of many amazing ones and that’s not even the best one, but there are times where you do have to take that. I guess sometimes you look back and say, I should have done that. James Di Virgilio: 17:35 Sure. And there’s no, there’s no, I think your story illustrates what so many others illustrate. Is there’s no perfect path. You can’t make every right decision. Chance Glasco: 17:42 Yeah, yeah. Something that I think will resonate with you when I talk to students a lot, like when I do a lot of talks at Full Sail or universities is especially as I’m talking to usually game developers, people that are like that, you know, a lot of people don’t realize that if, if they’re not active, if they’re not exercising and eating healthy that their brain is not going to function like it should, you know, they’re going to like, Oh, I got to put down another Coca-Cola for my brain. It’d be home , you know, functioning. Right? And so something that I got really into when I was like, it was 2010, I got really into Brazilian jujitsu from watching MMA. And so I would end up going to the lunchtime to train. And it’s like, as a game developer, you’re behind a computer, you’re basically not moving for, you know , 10 hours a day or so. And so you kind of have to balance that with an extreme opposite. And so for me, I found that when I was putting myself in a situation where basically someone’s trying to choke me or break my arm or something, not quiet , you know, you , you know, that’s not going to happen, but you’re trying to get someone trying to put you to that point. Right? That it was so opposite to what I was used to, that it was like, this it’s extremely good balance. Like , yeah, I could have just gone out and gone running, but it wasn’t different enough from sitting in front of a computer. I needed something to really push me . And so also jujitsu, it’s very, it’s creative, it’s very technical. There’s a lot of problem solving. It’s not just brainless and I’m not, you know , attacking other martial arts, like just, you know , striking tons and tons of times over and over repetition. There’s a lot of variety within it. So , uh, that’s, that’s kept me kind of sane through that sitting in front of a computer. And so anyone that even like for me, I grew up a computer nerd, you know, I was programming when I was 14, I was a dork. I was kind of like, you know, into theater and like, you know, not athletic person at all, I still am not. But even if you’re not like find something to balance that desk life, because it’ll, it’ll make you a happier person and it’ll prove your life and other ways too. James Di Virgilio: 19:27 I think that’s why it’s Harvard did a study talking about the different things our brains need each day. And one of them is exercise and others music. But especially if you’re an entrepreneur and you’re spending so much time on one task , it’s essential that your brain gets other space to do things. And something like jujitsu, is deep. You can go very far into that. You can lose yourself into that. And that makes a lot of sense. And I think that’s wise , he is Chance Glasgow. He is the Co-founder of Doghead Simulations. I’ve had so much fun spending some time with you today on behalf of Radio Cade on behalf of Richard Miles, who’s not here doing the interview today. I’m James Di Virgilio. I look forward to talking with you next time. Chance Glasco: 20:01 Thank you guys.

Matchen mellan Napoli och Milan, på San Paulo var imponerande, både spelmässigt och stämningsmässigt. Speakern manglade Gonzalos vid hans båda mål och ca 45 000 svarade med att skrika Higuain 9 gånger. Ett svagt Milan och kul att få se fyra mål. Biltrafiken efter matchen lämnade mycket att önska. Men vad gör det när man är på plats och ser matchen!

Gediminas Urbonas is artist and educator, and co-founder (with Nomeda Urbonas) of Urbonas Studio – an interdisciplinary research program that advocates for the reclamation of public culture in the face of overwhelming privatization, stimulating cultural and political imagination as tools for social change. Often beginning with archival research, their methodology unfolds complex participatory works investigating the urban environment, architectural developments, and cultural and technological heritage. The Urbonases have established their international reputation for socially interactive and interdisciplinary practice exploring the conflicts and contradictions posed by the economic, social, and political conditions of countries in transition. Working in collaboration they develop models for social and artistic practice with the interest to design organizational structures that question relativity of freedom. They use art platform to render public spaces for interaction and engagement of the social groups, evoking local communities and encouraging their cultural and political imagination. Combining the tools of new and traditional media, their work frequently involves collective activities such as workshops, lectures, debates, TV programs, Internet chat-rooms and public protests that stand at the intersection of art, technology and social criticism. They are also co-founders of VILMA (Vilnius Interdisciplinary Lab for Media Art), and VOICE, a net based publication on media culture. They have exhibited internationally including the San Paulo, Berlin, Moscow, Lyon and Gwangju Biennales – and Manifesta and Documenta exhibitions – among numerous other international shows, including a solo show at the Venice Biennale and MACBA in Barcelona. Their work was awarded a number of high level grants and residency awards, including the Lithuanian National Prize (2007); a fellowship at the Montalvo Arts Center in California (2008); a Prize for the Best International Artist at the Gwangju Biennale (2006) and the Special Prize for the best national pavilion at the Venice Biennale (2007). Their writings on artistic research as a form of intervention to social and political crisis was published in the books Devices for Action (2008) by MACBA Press, Barcelona and Villa Lituania (2008) by Sternberg Press. Gediminas Urbonas is Associate Professor in Visual Arts at ACT – the MIT Program in Art, Culture and Technology.
