Apprentices who complete their program earn approximately $300,000 more over their career than non-apprenticeship participants.”

“I took a look at the company and told the owners we really needed to diversify, that we needed to add something to the business because farming was a very narrow and seasonal niche,” he says.

At the festival’s New Frontier showcase of tech-heavy immersive projects, pieces like The Dial are using participants’ bodies as the primary mechanism for how they work. Instead of bathing you in passive immersion or forcing fiddly game controllers into your hands, creators are nesting unfamiliar tech with an instrument — your body — that’s as familiar as the back of your hand. Literally. 

“BOMAG was a great experience,” Hood says. “I learned a lot there but it was a stretch for me to work in the corporate world. I’m more a guy who wants to do things. I like to look at situation, make a decision and go do it. If I make a mistake, I make a mistake and I’ll own it and learn from it and move on from there. I was ready to work that way again.”

Next, keep heading down the corridor, all the way to the end, then turn right and head through the double doors there. This is the Operations Room. Grab the map from the whiteboard there, then climb onto the crate and through the open window. Deal with the zombie harassing the vending machine, then go through the door just to his left and into the West Office. In the right corner, there’s a filing cabinet with some Handgun Ammo inside it. There’s also some Gunpowder on a nearby table. Head around the desks on the other side of the room and deal with the police zombie who stands up from his chair. Now you want to unlock Leon’s desk. To unlock the right hand side, use the code: MRG. To unlock the left side of Leon’s desk, use the code: NED. This gets you the High Capacity Magazine for your pistol, Matilda.

Car washes start at $3 and go up, depending on the level of cleaning one wants. Similar $3 car washes have opened in recent years in Hammond and Dyer.

Electrical lines can only safely carry a certain amount of power without getting too hot. When an electric line heats up with too much energy running through it, the line can sag and drop closer to potential hazards.

My worldview is that climate change is the problem that all other problems report to. If we fail to mitigate climate change, there is no time left on the clock to work on any other problem. If climatic change is allowed to go to the worst extremes possible with inaction, no social, economic, or political system is going to fare well/survive. Historical precedents of what our future might be like include the Great Famine in China 1959-61 and the Dustbowl in the 1930s in the US. Or you can look to Hollywood to help wrap your head around what the future might look like — Mad Max is a super fun movie, but it doesn’t look fun to live in. Our mission at DroneSeed is to ‘Make Reforestation Scaleable.’ This mission and the opportunity to use technology to make a dent in an incredibly big problem is what I attribute to incredibly top notch talent joining our team.
