Ryan Jenson
Invented precision drones for farms
Ryan Jenson invented a precision agriculture drone during a conversation about spraying wheat crops. Why spray everywhere, he questioned; why not just where it's needed?
"I figured you could do it with robots," Jenson says, and HoneyComb Corp. was born.
Jenson, 28, not only grew up on a 100-acre farm in Eagle Creek, Ore., he also started studying college-level engineering at 14 years old. He earned his bachelor's and later his master’s in mechanical engineering from Portland State.
At HoneyComb Jenson and two friends, who are now his business partners, merged aerospace systems and remote sensing to invent a drone that locates problem areas in agriculture or forested lands.
"There's not a system in place today that's tailored to agriculture like this," Jenson says. "We developed it on our own."
The company is Jenson's second; he partnered with PSU professor Mark Weislogel to form a business that deals with space systems.
"I always wanted to start my own company and do my own thing," Jenson says. "Everyone in my family has their own company—it's in my DNA."
Jenson finds validation in his companies' sure trajectory. His space systems work is entering another phase and the HoneyComb drone is already generating sales. By 2015, Jenson plans on global expansion.
"Once you start building and creating your own vision of things, you realize it's doable," he says. "We're bringing technology to a place where people didn't think it was possible and having an impact."
My main goal with this image was to layer as many colors as I could into one picture without making it too overwhelming. I knew I wanted the colors to be accompanied by a strong abstract message, so I chose hands as the main subject. There is no real meaning behind this picture, but please feel free to leave any interpretations on the comments.

Gretchen Schauffler
Painting a brighter world
Rather than complain about Oregon’s gray winter climate, Gretchen Schauffler set out to redecorate it. She started Devine Color, a line of vibrant interior paints designed as a brighter counterbalance to the drab shades of Northwest winters.
It was an immediate hit with the public, and is now sold nationally through Target and other paint stores. It also helped transform the paint industry, which has shifted to deeper, brighter colors along with traditional offerings.
Schauffler went on to develop other Devine products, such as vinyl flooring and wallpaper, which met with similar success. That led to a bath design and remodeling company. All her work reflects her passionate belief that color can enhance moods and is integral to quality of life.
Her latest project: Creating colorfully pleasing environments in facilities for aging adults.
“Color wealth contributes to a feeling of well-being,” she says. “ And one's life should be filled with color.”
As part of Schauffler’s effort to improve lives for seniors, she is joining in the fight to end Alzheimer’s disease through Devine Color’s support of the Alzheimer’s Association® and as a member of the Oregon Alzheimer’s Association® Leadership Board.
Schauffler, a restless, creative soul, tried colleges in New York and Oregon before she found her niche in Portland State’s graphic design program, where she earned her BA in 1985.

I wanted to play around with my camera last night, so I gathered a bunch of random books and objects and experimented. I'm really fond of this one...and it is straight out of the camera except for a slight reddish tint on the in-camera b&w.
The books are all ones lying around my bedroom and are ones I have just read or ones I am currently reading:
The Canterbury Tales
Hamlet
Beowulf
Unweaving the Rainbow - Richard Dawkins
Siddhartha
Letters to a Young Poet - RM Rilke (thanks Johannes)
The Old Time Herald (not a book, a magazine)
The "Tree of Happiness" is from my trip to Brazil this summer.

Extrusion Die Design is often based on the experience of the Die Designer. Sometimes this experience may be in form of company design rules, but often it only exists in the designer’s mind and it is difficult to transfer this knowledge to other persons. Many time it is a big problem to produce the same Die once again after the Die completes his lifetime, if the Die is designed and manufactured with the tradional manual methods.
ExtrusionPower is capturing the knowledge of the die designers by standardizing company’s own design methods.
Chelsea Oostman
Putting her compassion to work
Chelsea Oostman knew she wanted to find a way to help people through her senior capstone project for her bachelor's in speech and hearing sciences. On the recommendation of a friend, she found just that with about 200 other Portland State students this summer as a counselor at the Mt. Hood Kiwanis Camp. But she got something else from the camp, too: perspective.
Chelsea says her experiences meeting and assisting campers with disabilities opened her eyes to people's unique differences and helped her develop new skills in patience, planning and communication that she will carry into her relationships and career.

Local knowledge, not all the 'locals' had it...
The Balmoral Beat was miles away from the streets of Cannon Row Police Station (AD) but until the Royalty Protection Dept was formed, officers attached to Buckingham Palace from AD were sent each summer to Balmoral Castle. Placing a city policeman on a beat next to the River Dee was always going to produced situations that couldn't be scripted.
As a member of the Travelling Staff of the Metropolitan Police Royalty Protection Dept. I worked at Balmoral Castle on Royal Deeside for seven tours, followed by two to Birkhall. For six of my trips I sketched cartoons of some of the characters I worked with and of the mishaps that befell them. A selection of these cartoons can now be seen on my website On The Balmoral Beat.

That is, I am crazy about acquiring knowledge. Those smart girls who sit and read, their life will be fuller.
Red Means Help
Spreading the word
Behind Portland’s coffeehouses, breweries and green buildings lurks a secret: The city is a national hub of human trafficking. Advertising students at Portland State University are teaming up with the Portland Police Bureau to build awareness and help victims escape, with a new ad campaign, “Red Means Help.”
Trafficking victims are lured to Oregon with promises of work in service industry jobs, such as farm labor, tree harvesting or domestic work. They often do not speak English and are unable to escape the watchful eye of their captors to speak out and find aid. FIR Northwest, a non-profit ad agency run by PSU students, has worked with the Portland Police Bureau to publicize a non-verbal way that trafficking victims can request help. “Red Means Help” is a simple, silent signal: Trafficking victims can can indicate their need for help by flashing anything red at a police officer or other first-responder.
“The Portland Police Bureau reached out,” says advertising student Lindsey Hoeft, who worked as art director on the project. “FIR Northwest concepted, developed and implemented the plan.” Advertisements created for the campaign will appear in six languages in areas where victims often travel, such as on public transit.
The goal for the campaign was to find a creative solution and communicate with this population, but just as important is the opportunity to gather data. “There is so little knowledge that awareness, funding, data are all virtually impossible to find,” says Hoeft.
Copywriter and fellow PSU student Matthew Bailey adds, “Moving forward, the goal is to expand the campaign to other communities in Oregon and beyond. It’s an inspiring way to use our communication skills and resources to help solve real-world problems.”

"I volumi sono tuttora incatenati ai plutei lignei con catenelle di ferro battuto, come da tradizione quattrocentesca. Questa consuetudine si verificava probabilmente al fine di evitare il furto e la perdita di libri così preziosi."

I really wasn't sure what to take for knowledge. My intial thoughts were to take a shot of a tree in the local park but the weather has been so awful when I've not been at work. So whilst looking for inspiration as to what to cook later in the week, I was going through some of my cook books and thought "AH HA!"
So here are just a few of my books, I've got loads and loads more.... and oh yes, look, there's one of the infamous cake pop books!
