Strive to be,
and have the fear of so many things dwelling in the back of the mind.
Always adjusting and pushing further until you hit a wall.

SPEAKER - Jean Leggett
Our first speaker is Jean Leggett, co-founder and CEO of One More Story Games, the developer of StoryStylus, a simplified authoring platform for amateur and professional writers to create, publish and market diverse narrative-based video games. Jean is the lead writer of the Charlaine Harris game adaptation of “Shakespeare’s Landlord” to be published in early 2019 about a woman coming to grips with her PTSD from sexual assault when she discovers a murder close to home.
In her talk "Stories that haunt us and heal us: exploring mental health, abuse and trauma through games narrative” Jean will be speaking about the design of Charlaine Harris’ "Shakespeare's Landlord," a novel-to-game adaptation and how the development team designed narrative choices, events and characters to mindfully explore trauma, PTSD and character progression within the construct of a 2D mystery adventure game.
SPEAKER - Arno Görgen
Our second speaker is Arno Görgen, research associate at the University of the Arts in Bern. Over the past years Arno has worked in various medicine-historic institutes researching topics like "Violence towards Kids" and "Science and Pop Culture". He's currently graduating at the University in Bern with his project „Biohorror in Digital Games“.
His talk "Mental Health in Digital Games. Ethics and Aesthetics of the Unplayable" is going to focus on the depiction of mental illness in video games.

HCLS First Public Library in Maryland to Add Living Books to Collection as part of The Human Library™
Howard County Library System (HCLS) will become the first public library system in Maryland to give its customers the opportunity to borrow Living Books. The Human Library™ will be open on Saturday, March 11 from 1 to 5 pm at HCLS Miller Branch located at 9421 Frederick Road in Ellicott City. Framed around the adage “Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover,” the new initiative encourages participants to look beyond stereotypes and engage in meaningful dialogue. The goal is to foster a positive framework where open, one-on-one, honest conversations lead to greater understanding and acceptance in the community.
The HCLS Human Library will include Living Books from a variety of backgrounds, experiences and identities. Among the books will be a United States veteran with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, a survivor of the Rwandan genocide, a transgender man, and a person living with Bipolar Disorder. Readers will sign up on a first-come basis to “borrow” the books at the Miller Branch, for a fifteen minute, one-on-one conversation to gain insight into their particular experiences and the often marginalizing stigma attached.
The Human Library is an international, innovative approach to challenging stigma, stereotypes, and prejudices through non-confrontational and respectful conversation. It is intended to be a welcoming, inclusive, non-partisan space where difficult questions are expected, appreciated, and answered. There is no political agenda. HCLS is striving to grow its collection of Living Books and expand the number of opportunities for readers to visit throughout the year.
The HCLS Human Library is part of this year’s Choose Civility initiative, Kindness Creates Community. It is presented in partnership with the Howard County Office of Human Rights and #OneHoward.
I consider myself a decent photographer. I feel as if it is one of the hardest things to do because I lack creativity. I consider photography something that I strive to become better at because it can be something simple once you get the hang of it. You would think that photographers just “take pictures” but they don’t. A lot goes into the process of being a good photographer.
As an artist, I have always had to try to develop a style that seems different or unique. The problem is that style never shone through in my work. It always came off as unprepared or undervalued. I tried to take pictures using simple themes and concepts and make it look different but they came off as something unoriginal. During the latter part of my time taking Digital Photography, I decided to make my work either more creative or more abstract.
The Self-Portrait and Alter Ego project has been the most stressful project of this semester. I don’t like taking pictures of myself. I don’t find myself interesting or enthusing. My self-portrait picture is just myself a normal (or somewhat normal) teenager. The theme for my Self-Portrait is “There will never be another you”. The Chris Brown poster signifies what the part if me that I never let out. Yes, most people know that I love Chris Brown but it really signifies the person that I am. I’m the goofball that dances to upbeat pop music and sings their heart out when listening to depressing pop/R&B songs. The theme is lyrics from a Chris Brown song called “Another You”. I can be very self-conscious of myself and my face, Whenever I have a bad day or I’m just not myself I listen to the song. It makes me feel better and tells me that there is only one me in this world and that there will never be another me.
My alter ego is symbolizes another part of me that is rather boring. It’s me taking notes. It symbolizes my drive and determination to make my life easier when I grow up. I hope that One day all of the hard work pays off. It also symbolizes what I can be if I put my mind to things. I can be whatever I want as long as I work hard. Most people other than my close family and friends see the studious side of me that studies as hard as possible and gets help in any class that she is having troubles in. But this is only a part of me and will never be the true me.
This is a photo of my mom walking in from her car after a long day of work. I have grown as a person because of the influence my mother has had on me. Seeing how selfless and hardworking she is makes me want to strive to be the best I can with everything I do. I took this picture with a medium shutter speed to allow enough light in.

The first TBLI CONFERENCE™ in Chicago (goo.gl/TSWsbt), held in cooperation with the Chicago Booth School of Business and Kellogg School of Management.
TBLI CONFERENCE offers a wealth of opportunity for networking with like-minded investors and new business partners. We invite attendees to share your ideas, challenges, and solutions and to learn about innovation and investment opportunities in the space.
The one-day program addressed topics for investors and finance professionals striving to better align profits with impact, addressing all asset classes.
On the agenda were sessions on trends in impact investing, impact measurement, ESG integration, sustainable investing in fixed income markets, impact investing in emerging markets, and climate change, to name a few.
This event in Chicago is building on the learnings and discussion at TBLI CONFERENCES held in New York, Amsterdam, Zurich and Oslo previously. We enjoyed continuing the debate with the Chicago impact investing community.
Murray, still striving to regain the consistently elite form he once possessed, fell to No. 5 Tsitsipas, 7-6 (3), 6-7 (2), 4-6, 7-6 (3), 6-4, in a match so close that Murray outscored his Greek opponent in overall points, 176-169.“I’m obviously very disappointed right now,” he said in a news conference about 25 minutes after the match had ended. “You never know how many opportunities you’re going to get to play here.”Murray’s dreary mood was reflected all around the grounds on a difficult day for British players and their fans on Friday. The 12th-seeded Cameron Norrie, Britain’s current No. 1 player, lost to the unseeded American Chris Eubanks, 6-3, 3-6, 6-2, 7-6 (3), on Court No. 1, and Liam Broady, the British No. 2, fell to the Canadian Dennis Shapovalov, who won 4-6, 6-2, 7-5, 7-5.But with Murray, it is different. For two decades, British tennis supporters have watched while he converted the promise of his junior career into glory when, under great pressure in 2013, he became the first British man in 77 years to win Wimbledon, Britain’s home tournament and the premier event on the tour. Three years later, he did it again, to add to the U.S. Open title and the Olympic gold medal he had won in 2012, the latter also on Centre Court.

With each and every post, we strive here at Creative Tempest to bring you only the best artwork from around the world. This post comes to you from the great American state of Texas; with our artists being all the designers behind the company, Church Media. Church Media is a company whose sole purpose is to help out churches, non-profit, and faith-based organizations stay connected with their people and also reach new people through the internet – “Our story starts with a small team of creative Christ-followers and a dream from God to build a company that exists to support the work of the ministry around the world.” Since lots of churches are either just too small or not fortunate enough to have someone in their congregation who knows web design, their ministry and influence is diminished. Instead of taking their talents elsewhere, expanding their market and growing their profits, Church Media decided to help these organizations with professional quality work designed specifically for their needs. We’re happy to post such great talent and vision here on Creative Tempest and hope that you will share the same appreciation for their great artwork that we do.
