To Someone in administration:
To Whom it may concern,

    Throughout the duration of my service term: I have been responsible for grant writing; aiding in the process of incentivizing a volunteer rewards program: marketing; making cold calls to vendors; corporate spending: making plans with the administrative staff/ management; purchasing products: buying building material for construction—Although the main function of my job description is community building, relationship maintenance, facilitating a creative maker-space…. A few ways I have done this are, setting up a series of confidence building projects and, staging operations for my construction director and I to follow up in follow through, together.

I have done research writing, reporting and, editing on r-Control, quid pro quo consulting with Big Sky’s Structurally Insulated Panels representatives. Up to and, including quantitative cost benefit analysis, qualitative a return on investment reviews, a pro bono for key decision makers like my Construction Manager; and, also involved with taking surveys polling neighborhoods for our revitalization program with our Director of Operations as well as, for our CEO who sits on a number of non profit boards non governmental organizations leaders and, other policy changers continuing community education by educating the general populous in public health.

    As a peace corps volunteer candidate for the Water & Sanitation Hygiene Education program in Panama: I am interested in pursuing continuing education with programming with front-end/ full-stack development focusing in data visualization of geographical information systems.  I have come far from a seminar at a business development laboratory in Washington, D.C., specializing with human & computer interaction involved in environmental policy making and remote sensing.  I am determined to continue education developing a portfolio of solid works up to/ in information and, architecture or, engineering Asset Based Community Development.

Working together in some capacity in a leadership role with administration in the NFP’s and NGO’s of small business private and public sectors: In Aquatics Management of Indianapolis, I have experience supervising as a CPO; testing water, running samples, balancing chemicals and, managing up to 5-7-9 10-30k+ gal. Outdoor facilities from weeks and months during the summer for years—responsible in part capacity building leadership and, life skills learning strategy.  All the while, simultaneously aiding my administration in staffing and recruiting with youth development in after school programs for at risk youth in the Boy and, Girl Scouts of America, USA.

    In the future, with a culmination of experience in combination with practical applications in drill and skill build out a skill set from a community college and, university or, a vocational school in data vis preparing for departure. I anticipate gaining knowledge with a skill set I can add to my tool belt in order completing training before finishing with Peace Corps. I would like to take the opportunity to add this experience to what I have with me into working together along side Habitat and, V school or, EPG, marketing business consulting service strategy to policy changers and key decision makers adding value to economy in natural resource development.

As a result of the City Libraries activity in learning circles, in after school programs for at risk youth, like Heartland University Neighborhood Partners pilot programming from Utah University—according to FiRE: Future in Review, Salt Lake City is in the top, running for global business in green tech too.  Although, the market here is emerging in small businesses, incubation labs, kick starters, start up accelerators, non–governmental non–for–profit organizations involvement like Habitat—however, the market may be coming readily available building capacity in the valley for green jobs, as well as, acquiring opportunity for future human resource management.

    As a result of disruptive technology; and, in light of current events: or, rather prevailing circumstances—Habitat for Humanity of Salt Lake Valley seems as though it may well be contributing to a project this size of scope….  Abating conflict in placing refugees, redistributing a wealth of human capitol, reducing our carbon footprint by reducing and reusing our resources and, aiding in the process of job creation or, labor organization.  All well with in the means of community development, while the habitat restore affords available housing for low income wage earners, it secures opportunity for workforce development for on–the–job training supporting research and development of environmental sustainability in long term future techonlogy in green careers.

In the spirit of service to Unite the States of America: and the prevailing circumstances concerning the state of the world, abating conflict regions starting with WASH today; I anticipate moving forward with asset based community development or, data visualization of data science consulting with information/ architecture, on engineering, in energy access, of transportation gateways—for community leaders, including key decision makers involved environmental policy making and, natural resource development as well as the management.  Although now after this experience I have gained here however, I realize now how there is still so much worldly knowledge to gain in visualizing data science, adding value, producing results and so too, move the world.

Much of Alfredo Jaar’s work is due largely in part to culture and the conflict that surrounds it. Born in Santiago, Chile, 1956, Alfredo Jaar lived through a military coup d’état staged by General Pinochet who mobilized his military to rise against the presiding democratic commander and chief Salvador Allende. Having grown up in a strict authoritarian dictatorship, he later immigrated to America in 1982 to work for SITE an architecturally based firm. Now, Jaar continues to do his work out of his studio between New York, NY and Barcelona, Spain.

With consideration for his past history, it is no surprise that the majority of his work is vastly influenced by war, globalization, and advocating political activism in both the first and third worlds. Alfredo Jaar is an artist, architect and filmmaker responsible for projects of or relating to multiple municipalities. Many of his works can be found here there and everywhere in countries all over the world in places like the biennale’s of Venice, São Paulo, Sydney, Istanbul, Kwangju, Johannesburg, and Seville as well as film documentaries and exhibitions in Kassel.

Fareed Zakaria:// “The Post–American World.” And, ‘The Rise of the Rest.’ —[Doyle c.2009/ ‘Research Writing’/ Review c.2013]

An author by a number of other titles such as; “The Future of Freedom: Illiberal Democracy at Home and Abroad”, “From Wealth to Power: The Unusual Origins of America’s World Role”, as well as the co–editor for “The American Encounter: The United States and the Making of the Modern World” — CNN news correspondent Fareed Zakaria, offers up an interesting and, unparalleled perspective the modern world, the current state of affairs and also a bi-partisan view into America’s shifting geopolitical position in the world of tomorrow.

When we look to his book, The post-American world, at the very start, Fareed cites an appropriately selected quote found in A Study of History by Arnold J. Toynbee that may as well serve as a preface towards the following pages within:
“Growth takes place whenever a challenge evokes a successful response that, in turn, evokes a further and different change.  We have not found any intrinsic reason why this process should not repeat itself indefinitely, even though a majority of civilizations have failed, as a matter of historical fact”(    ).

James Burke://”Burke’s Brains.” And, how ‘Lemony Squeeks, Gin, Tonic and, now Yellow Canaries.’ —[Doyle c.2009/ ‘Research Writing’ Review c. 2013]

In a presentation titled “How Technology is Changing the Way We Think,” James Burke, a well known science historian gave a speech in the Buskirk-Chumley Theater at 7p.m., Monday the 16^th of February 2009.  The event was sponsored by the IU School of Journalism.

In it he discussed what he likes to call “The Future of the Future,” or rather how data is collected and formatted today provides the opportunity to open doors for an unimaginable wealth of information. Furthermore he cites some interesting facts like how “brains have more cells in them than the number of known atoms in the universe,” and compares them with the likes of which each cell stores a specific type of information depending on where it is located within the brain. If each cell represented a particular a brain and a brain represented a node in a network nodes containing a given amount of knowledge and experience, then imagine the unbridled power of our collective consciousness would unleash when we develop the ability to access it in this way. As a matter of fact we already have, it is called the world wide web.

According, James Burke and many others, the vast majority of ‘brains’ as he so affectionately calls them, remain unused. The human brain is composed of a highly sophisticated set of fatty cells; it is comprised of about a hundred billion neurons, roughly 10,000 synapses and thousands of interconnected axons all of which are constantly transmitting, receiving and storing memory. Although, as we may well already know due to current studies and further scientific research, we really only use some ten percent of it consciously. However, much like the human mind, with recent developments concerning information technology and Burkes knowledge mapping the internet will make it possible to store very large volumes of information. In a nutshell, Burke explains that in the same way that axons connect synapses and the synapses to neurons in our brains work, so to do computers, internet and people who use it.

A progressive supporter of science, James Burke is as the Washington post has quoted, “One of the most intriguing minds of the western world,” sitting in on his lecture is proof enough of that. He argues the point that knowledge has been highly valued since before the concept of time was created.
