This guy was applying an unknown herbicide to a neighboring commercial property during moderate, sustained winds. The stink of the chemicals wafted into my yard. He refused when I asked him nicely to stop spraying until the wind died down, so I took his picture.

From pollution-eating robots to abstract animated films, TED Fellow Cesar Harada is involved in an ocean of projects. He was able to squeeze in this interview with TED, where he talks about architecture, his love of the sea and a special cartoon cat.
What are the most important things you're working on right now?
The project I'm working on right now is called the "Energy Animal." I had the first iteration when I was working for the British government Renewable Energies Department at the University of Southampton in the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory.
I built a prototype that makes energy from the waves, the wind, and the sun simultaneously. It's a device that can be working in any type of weather condition, anywhere. It doesn't necessarily produce a lot of energy, but produces it steadily.
I'm still working very much on the World Environment Action. It's in coordination with Ushahidi [another TED Fellows project]. Three weeks ago I was in Kenya working on this environmental monitoring software that I'm going to use in the next application.
Since two weeks ago I am a researcher at MIT SENSEable City Lab and I am working on the project I mentioned before called Energy Animal. We're trying to build devices that make energy while collecting pollution -- apprehending pollution as a resource. Originally I was commissioned by MIT to collect the North Pacific Garbage Patch, but I've been redirected to work on the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, so now I am designing a machine to collect oil. It will use oil as a combustible, as a gasoline fuel to actually move around. The idea is to make autonomous robots that would swarm around and collect garbage or different types of pollution.
I'm designing not one specific device, but a floating open source design "framework" so it can generate many other boats for different applications. It can be used for the oil spill, or the North Pacific Garbage Patch or even for fresh water to purify, for example, the Laguna Venice, where the prototype will be presented for the International Architecture Biennale to represent the MIT SENSEable City Lab.
I am now pushing the lab staff to help me make this robot self-replicating: a robot that can fabricate its own children. Since we are collecting a lot of raw material, the best use we can make of that material is fabricating more robots to accelerate the cleaning. So that means that you make a robot, and if it accumulates energy and raw material, it can build, if you want, a baby -– the same of its own. So it's very futuristic. That is also why we are not working at solving this precise problem but more for longer-term.
We have problems that are very big, like the North Pacific Garbage Patch, and we never have the money to actually build an entire fleet. So we'd rather build a fleet that builds itself!
How will one device feed off of completely different types of pollution?
What I was saying about "framework" -- it's very much like the evolutionary process. You can't have a robot that does everything. The idea is that we build a framework, for example from a simple kind of boat, and you can swap organs. So say that you go for the oil spill -- you will have some oil combustion chamber. In Venezia you will have some anaerobic digester so it will make energy from gas -- methane, propane -- from organic waste digestion, and also create fertilizer. And if it's in the case of the North Pacific Gyre, it will collect the plastic, process some of it, and some will be reused to fabricate more raw materials. So the robots themselves will be made of plastic.

(Continued)
You have different labs like the "Energy Animal" that make up your overarching project, Open_Sailing. Tell me more about this project.
The purpose of Open_Sailing is to build an International Ocean Station. That's really the main target. Whatever the intermediary experiments we're doing, the objective is the International Ocean Station. So if NASA has as a target to explore space, Open_Sailing's would be to explore the ocean, and to do so, involving probably inventing this new generation of devices.
Open_Sailing has many different applications. For example the Instinctive Architecture could be inhabited human beings. For the Energy Animal, it's autonomous drones. The Nomadic Ecosystem are moving farms. They are designed for a world even without humans.
ABOVE: Cesar and a Nomadic Ecosystem float prototype
You compare your project to the International Space Station. A lot of expertise, money and time were invested in that. You've said you expect to achieve something comparable with a fraction of the resources. Why are you convinced you can succeed?
The first reason is that many, many people have access to the sea, so the testing ground is near us. Secondly, I'd like to actually probably moderate what I said because I said this when I was quite early in the research. And a few days after I wrote these words for the first time, I went to meet Professor Masubuchi in the MIT Center for Ocean Engineering. He happens to also have been the chief welding engineer of NASA for the rocket that went on the moon.
We had a long discussion and I asked him why we don't have already an International Ocean Station if we already have an International Space Station. And he told me that it's because the International Ocean Station is much more complicated to make. And that is also why he himself was transferred from NASA to ocean engineering –- because the ocean is the next frontier.
Space is empty, cold, and the gravitational forces are very predictable, depending on where you are in space. You can deploy these very huge solar panels, like 100-meter long solar panels, with almost no support because there is little gravity. It's mostly empty space, it's cold and there's no acidity.
But in the ocean you have the mechanical action of the waves, some of which impact can be tens of tons per square meter. You have salinity, UV, winds, strong currents all the time, and the conditions are changing very, very quickly. In other words the surface of the ocean is very, very difficult. And on the bottom you have extreme high pressures, darkness….
How did you move from architecture to designing ocean structures?
I'm not a qualified architect, I didn't graduate from architecture. My family is in construction. Most of my uncles are structure engineers in Japan, which is subject to a lot of earthquakes, so since I'm a kid I've been building houses and participating in architectural plans for buildings. When I was in Kenya, again, I was construction manager, so I'm not an architect officially but I'm an architect in the fact. Also my father actually is a professor in an architecture school. These 2 last years I was assistant of the Architect Usman Haque, Angel Borrego Cubero and the biochemist Natalie Jeremijenko.
I've always been passionate about the ocean. Since I was a kid –- before I could walk -- I was a very good baby swimmer [laughs]. Actually the first time I went to the hospital, it was because when I was four years old, I was left alone and I went smashing myself in the waves. I was found on the beach side, my lungs full of sand and my nose cavity full of pebbles. So I had to have my first operation to remove the pebbles out of my nose when I was four.
ABOVE: Cesar on his boat, Vela
And since I'm passionate about sailing and windsurfing … that is also why I'm in MIT, because a few minutes from the office I can sail. So 3 or 4 times a week I am windsurfing and sailing now. I'm really happy here.
Let's talk about World Environment Action.
World Environment Action is a website that is crowdsourcing environmental data. The idea is that to be getting everybody to participate to create the most reliable and multi-platform service. We are using Ushahidi, which is a crisis reporting system, so people can use their mobile phones, they can send just a simple SMS, MMS, they can make a phone call, or they can go directly on the website w-e-a.org and report an environmental problem.
The idea is very simple. If you are passing in front of some environmental damage, you can just take a picture with your mobile phone and you upload it to the website, and almost in real time –- maybe just a couple of hours after because we have to moderate every post -- then you will be able to see this environmental report, amongst a lot of others. So the idea is that everybody can become an environmental activist. You don't have to be part of an NGO, or you don't have to be part of a government, or claim that you belong to anybody, you can just actively report and take action against environmental problems.
Ushahidi was started by two TED Fellows. Can you tell us more about that partnership?
The whole TED experience instantly bounded a TED family that one can only be delighted to be part of. I was looking for partners in software development and environmental monitoring, I found Erik Hersman and the Ushahidi project. I was looking for good programmers, I found Jessica Colaco. Together Erik and Jessica are building the iHub in Nairobi, the Kenyan innovation incubator that will soon be the hottest place in mobile application development in East Africa.
ABOVE: Jessica Colaco, Erik Hersman and Cesar Harada: A TED Fellows Coalition
I brought them an ambitious project clearly answering the question TED asked: "What the World Needs Now." The answer: a powerful environmental governance. We are currently looking for partners and contributors for this world-changing project. We can make it happen, together.
Let's talk about the films you've produced.
Films used to be my goal, but now I consider them only a way to share ideas. So I actually studied animation film until I was 23. I made a couple of things but now when I look back at them I feel they are very intimate and poetic.
Maybe three weeks ago I just republished a film that I re-masterized. One is called Arvo Part -- it's a remix of Arvo Pärt, one of my favorite composers, and it's really abstract. The second is called disponible (available), a roadtrip I made in nature on a boat I fabricated for the purpose of the film.
What cartoon character are you most similar to?
I wish Doraemon! Doraemon is a mechanical cat. He's such an important character. Basically he's a big lazy cat and he's really funny and ingenious. He has a big pocket in front of him like on his belly here, and he always pulls out the craziest gadgets from it. He's the best product designer in history.
Anything else before we wrap up?
I have to stress that a lot of what I do is very propositional. The International Ocean Station is a very, very big endeavor, and the World Environment Action is the same –- it's a very ambitious project. What MIT has asked me to solve are global-scale problems.
Look at me, I'm just a little guy, I do my best, I don't sleep very much already, I don't know how much I can do for the world, but I have lots of ideas and I try hard. I really consider myself a contributor. Even if in my lifetime none of the stuff that I'm talking about and working on everyday exists before I die, it's ok. If I can contribute to the fact that it comes into existence one day, for me it's a very big satisfaction.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Astronaut Cady Coleman, (seen), NASA Space Life and Physical Sciences Research and Applications Division Director Dr. Marshall Porterfield U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Research Service (ARS) Administrator Dr. Chavonda Jacobs-Young speak with adult and children audience members about "How USDA and NASA Work Together" at an event in The People's Garden, outside the USDA's Whitten Building on the National Mall in Washington, DC., on Monday, October 5, 2015. Following the talks, they formed a panel for questions. Then Agriculture Deputy Secretary Krysta Harden and NASA Deputy Administrator Dava Newman will sign a new interagency agreement expanding USDA and NASA's commitment to promoting careers in science, technology, engineering, agriculture and math to young people. During the event, Harden and Newman will join area FFA and 4-H members to plant the sister seeds to lettuce grown on the International Space Station.
The Lactuca sativa “Outredgeous Red Romaine Lettuce” seeds are from the same lot and bag as those flown to the International Space Station on the CRS-3 mission inside SpaceX’s dragon capsule launched April 18, 2014. The first crop was grown and harvested in 33 days, then sent to NASA Scientists at Kennedy Space Center for analysis. The second crop of lettuce was initiated in Veggie on July 8, 2015 by NASA’s one-year astronaut, Scott Kelly. After 33 days of care by Kjell Lindgren and Scott Kelly, the space plants were harvested and eaten. The seeds that produced the plants, which the astronauts ate, came from the same bag.

I picked up my pandigital novel 7 at Radio Shack on sale. My theory is that I could get a lot of uses from my computer similar to a tablet computer at an inexpensive "e-reader" price. The theory has thus far proven valid. I've been able to install a youtube application (though the instructions with the device suggested I could not), to install an app for my mog.com subscription music account, to install TuneinRadio which streams lots of internet radio, and to add Kindle and Kobo e-reader apps to the in-built Barnes & Noble Nook app. In addition to the SlideMe marketplace, I've been able to download apps from the Amazon marketplace. This little device has been a lot of fun, and very useful.
This before pic is of karen at our shop Dreadology Salon NYC; waiting to get a dread application. In this photo we are sectioning her hair and detangling any knots that are in the way of our sectioning. Sectioning dreads is probably the most important step in the application process. If a brick-layer pattern isn't done properly; the dreads will not fall and cover the parting below it; leaving exposed scalp. In the front; I think center parts look silly with dreads. I create a triangle with the bang area and create 3 equal locks. This allows the hair to be worn parted on either side as well as almost in the center; much more versatile. karen has fantastic, thick, coarse, curly hair. Karen's curl pattern however isn't extremely tight, however. Utilizing basic locking techniques geared for afro-textured hair would not work in the long run. We did a more advanced installation, which consisted of installing 126 dreads. Karen wanted small locks, close to micro-dreads. I varied the locks from mini micro to about the width of a no.2 pencil, for every 3 micro-dreads i applied one regular thin lock. These were evenly applied throughout with a few extra thicker dreads installed about 3-4" above the occipital bone; the effect shows when the locks hang naturally and give the dreads more texture, less uniformity and a more natural appearance.The results were fantastic; her hair-color which has about 4 inches of new growth really pop in the dreads. This was a wax, gel & cocoa-butter free application. No products necessary; except a once weekly application of knotty boy's Lock-steady: dread tightening gel (an aloe based product) while palm rolling, Oil free pomades can be used to get rid of frizzies during the first 30 days when palm-rolling. American Crew Men's Pomade or Tancho's Lavendar stick can both be used. The first 30 days after installation must be free of contact with water; hair-washing, rain, etc. BUY A SHOWER CAP! Palm roll every day; clockwise; as much as you can. If you notice any inconsistencies or issues; do not check the internet for ideas, help or answers to questions.

F/A-18 Hornet strike fighter
Description
All-weather fighter and attack aircraft. The single-seat F/A-18 Hornet is the nation's first strike-fighter. It was designed for traditional strike applications such as interdiction and close air support without compromising its fighter capabilities. With its excellent fighter and self-defense capabilities, the F/A-18 at the same time increases strike mission survivability and supplements the F-14 Tomcat in fleet air defense. F/A-18 Hornets are currently operating in 37 tactical squadrons from air stations world-wide, and from 10 aircraft carriers. The U.S. Navy's Blue Angels Flight Demonstration Squadron proudly flies them. The Hornet comprises the aviation strike force for seven foreign customers including Canada, Australia, Finland, Kuwait, Malaysia, Spain and Switzerland.
The newest model, Super Hornet, is highly capable across the full mission spectrum: air superiority, fighter escort, reconnaissance, aerial refueling, close air support, air defense suppression and day/night precision strike. Compared to the original F/A-18 A through D models, Super Hornet has longer range, an aerial refueling capability, increased survivability/lethality and improved carrier suitability. [Capability of precision-guided munitions: JDAM (all variants) and JSOW. JASSM in the future]
Features
The F/A-18 Hornet, an all-weather aircraft, is used as an attack aircraft as well as a fighter. In its fighter mode, the F/A-18 is used primarily as a fighter escort and for fleet air defense; in its attack mode, it is used for force projection, interdiction and close and deep air support.
Background
The F/A-18 demonstrated its capabilities and versatility during Operation Desert Storm, shooting down enemy fighters and subsequently bombing enemy targets with the same aircraft on the same mission, and breaking all records for tactical aircraft in availability, reliability, and maintainability.
Hornets taking direct hits from surface-to-air missiles, recovering successfully, being repaired quickly, and flying again the next day proved the aircraft's survivability. The F/A-18 is a twin engine, mid-wing, multi-mission tactical aircraft. The F/A-18A and C are single seat aircraft. The F/A-18B and D are dual-seaters. The B model is used primarily for training, while the D model is the current Navy aircraft for attack, tactical air control, forward air control and reconnaissance squadrons. The newest models, the E and F were rolled out at McDonnell Douglas Sept. 17, 1995. The E is a single seat while the F is a two-seater.
The F/A-18 E/F acquisition program was an unparalleled success. The aircraft emerged from Engineering and Manufacturing Development meeting all of its performance requirements on cost, on schedule and 400 pounds under weight. All of this was verified in Operational Verification testing, the final exam, passing with flying colors receiving the highest possible endorsement.
The first operational cruise of Super Hornet, F/A-18 E, was with VFA-115 onboard the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) on July 24, 2002, and saw initial combat action on Nov. 6, 2002, when they participated in a strike on hostile targets in the "no-fly" zone in Iraq.
Super Hornet, flew combat sorties from Abraham Lincoln during Southern Watch, demonstrating reliability and an increased range and payload capability. VFA 115 embarked aboard Lincoln expended twice the amount of bombs as other squadrons in their airwing (with 100% accuracy) and met and exceeded all readiness requirements while on deployment. The Super Hornet cost per flight hour is 40% of the F-14 Tomcat and requires 75% less labor hours per flight hour.
All F/A-18s can be configured quickly to perform either fighter or attack roles or both, through selected use of external equipment to accomplish specific missions. This "force multiplier" capability gives the operational commander more flexibility in employing tactical aircraft in a rapidly changing battle scenario. The fighter missions are primarily fighter escort and fleet air defense; while the attack missions are force projection, interdiction, and close and deep air support.
The F/A-18C and D models are the result of a block upgrade in 1987 incorporating provisions for employing updated missiles and jamming devices against enemy ordnance. C and D models delivered since 1989 also include an improved night attack capability. The E and F models have built on the proven effectiveness of the A through D aircraft. The Super Hornet provides aircrew the capability and performance necessary to face 21st century threats.
