Jason vs GIJOE
No full textThesis (Master's)--University of Washington, 2019Jason vs GI JOE is partly an exercise in autobiography, an experiment in relational aesthetics, and an interdisciplinary artist project at the intersection of comic books, creative writing and performance art. This comic book, Jason vs. GIJOE, is a postmodern double erasure, based on the comic book GIJOE: Cobra II (Issue 1). The original pictures from the comic book have been removed, and replaced by a series of short narratives, describing autobiographical events from the life of the author: me, Jason. Speech bubbles from the original have been left to comment back over top of the stories, obscuring meaning but creating moments of unplanned dialogue. The comic is a readymade, twice erased: once to replace the drawings of the initial comic, and again when using the original dialogue bubbles to speak back to the narrative

The people behind the papers – Jason Ko and Daniel Lobo
No full textPlanarians grow when they are fed and shrink during periods of starvation. However, it is unclear how they maintain appropriate body proportions as their size changes. A new paper in Development investigates the differences between growth and shrinkage dynamics and builds a mathematical model to explore the mechanisms underpinning these two processes. To learn more about the story behind the paper, we caught up with first author, Jason Ko, and corresponding author, Daniel Lobo, Associate Professor at the University of Maryland.https://doi.org/10.1242/dev.20298
Preston Health & Activities Center
No full textOther Names - Health & Physical Education, Preston CenterBuilt - 1990-1992Dedication - Aug. 23, 1992Cost of Construction - 12 millionSize - 112,000 square feetArchitect - Rick ColtharpNamesake - Raymond Bart Preston (1920-2007) was born in Johnson County, KY on August 25th, 1920. He attended Alice B. Lloyd College in Pippa Passes, Knott County, KY and University of Tennessee before graduating from WKU (then-Western State Teachers College) in 1940 with a bachelor of science degree in chemistry. He served as a Lt. General Grade in the Pacific Theater of WWII and briefly worked for the General Chemical Company. After the war, in 1947, Preston co-founded PB&S Chemical Company on North Adams St. in Bowling Green, but was called back into service for the Korean War in 1951.Discharged in 1953, Preston went back to Henderson to help PB&S become the 10th largest chemical distributor in the U.S. by 1989, when he sold it to Brenntag. Concurrently, he was serving as chairman of Ohio Valley Bank, owning a majority stock in 1987. He also owned some small businesses around Henderson and Palmyra, Indiana. Preston was very active and prolific in community organizations, including the WKU\u27s Board of Regents, Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, Henderson Air Board (26 years), Henderson Community College, and Louisville Orchestra Board. In 1990, Preston formed the Raymond B. Preston Family Foundation, which donated more than 6 million to communities in Henderson and Western Kentucky regions, primarily. That same year, the organization donated at least 800,000 to the construction of the WKU activities center, which in turn was named in his honor. Raymond Bart Preston died on August 17th, 2007, a week before his 87th birthday.History - The idea for an activities center was floating around WKU for a while when Raymond Preston met with President Thomas Meredith. In actuality, WKU had the authorization to build one, but lacked the financial resources to do so. After the 1988 Board of Regents approved the building, WKU quietly began raising the finances.When details came out for the health center in the fall of 1989, It would include a multipurpose gymnasium with an elevated track around the perimeter, 10 handball/racquetball courts, a weight room and a swimming pool. Groundbreaking was expected to begin in the summer of the following year. In June 1990, Raymond Preston, founder, chief executive and president of PB&S Chemical Co., and Hattie Preston donated close to around 800,000, which pushed the amount raised for construction to 2.36 million and a hiring freeze in Fall 1991 increased concern over a lack of money to hire enough staff members. A comprehensive solution for the problem at hand was not found until April 1992, when the Budget Committee recommended to increase student fees from 103 to help staff the Preston Center. Also, for the next six weeks, starting in April, the American Marketing Association printed a series of reviews of all the facilities in the Preston Center, ending with an ad of Preston\u27s official premiere to the campus on August 24th, 1992. On August 23rd, 1992, President Meredith and Regent Chairman Burns Mercer unveiled a plaque dedicated to Raymond Preston, a day before the premiere to the public.In 2010, a 14,000 square ft.

Ep. #085 - Jason W. Moore
No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of podcasts conducted by the Cultures of Energy at Rice University. Cultures of Energy brings writers, artists and scholars together to talk, think and feel their way into the Anthropocene. We cover serious issues like climate change, species extinction and energy transition. But we also try to confront seemingly huge and insurmountable problems with insight, creativity and laughter.Cymene and Dominic talk capital and Vanilla Isis and then (11:21) we welcome to the podcast the one and only Jason W. Moore from Binghamton University, author of Capitalism in the Web of Life (Verso, 2015) and Anthropocene or Capitalocene? (PM Press, 2016). We chat with Jason about his most recent work, co-authored with Raj Patel, A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things (U California Press, 2017), forthcoming this October. We talk about why he wanted to write a book for a broader audience, the problems with the “anthropocene” concept in the human sciences, how “capitalocene” can improve our thinking about world history, and how we can avoid vulgar materialism in critical environmental research and activism today. We cover the role that states and agriculture have played in shaping modern capitalism and Jason calls for a seriously engaged pluralism to tackle the urgent challenges of our era. We discuss the cheapening or thingification of life, capitalism as a gravitational field, the importance of frontiers, the violence of the Great Domestication, and why if green energy remains in the mode of “cheap fuel” nothing will change about capitalist accumulation. Jason explains why racial and gender domination are so often lacunae in critiques of petromodernity. Finally we ruminate on how to unmake the capitalist world-ecology and the key principles of the “reparation ecology” that Jason and his colleagues are calling for. Tired of the debate within the left about whether to prioritize jobs or the environment? Then you’ll want to listen on
