Today we continued on through the motions that are known as Resident Assistant training-- which consisted of a visit from the Red Cross today regarding Earthquake Preparedness. To my suprise and much to my pleasure, they presented us with this following video created by "Up-and-coming film director, motion graphics designer and Art Center College of Design alumnus, Theo Alexopoulos." After the session was over I made sure to find out where to find a copy of it (YouTube... duh) and here it is, "Preparedness now", a beautifully made video that "takes you on a visceral journey through the USGS ShakeOut Earthquake Scenario. The film was created by the USGS Multi-Hazards Demonstration Project in cooperation with the Designmatters program at Art Center to depict the physical, social, and economic consequences of the most comprehensive earthquake scenario ever created. The film gives the viewers a sense of what will be happening and inspires them to prepare and mitigate for a faster recovery. The premise underlying the film is that design is a powerful catalyst that can bridge the divide between scientific understanding about damaging quakes, and the ability of the public to feel empowered and to change their behavior in terms of preparedness.

Mad Men Season 3 Episode 3- Open Thread
“People are often unreasonable and self centered: forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives: be kind anyway. If you’re successful, you’ll win some false friends and some true enemies: succeed anyway. If you’re honest and frank, people may cheat you: but be honest anyway. What you spend years building, someone can destroy overnight: build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous: be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow: do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough: give the world the best you’ve got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, its between you and God, it was never between you and them anyway..." - Mother Theresa
