From the Publishern this issue, MyLIFE honors the fearless men and women who served and paid the ultimate sacrifice in World War II. By the year 2020, almost all of the selfless and humble veterans who

served in WWII will have passed away. Today’s generations and those that follow must never forget what this past generation sacrificed to ensure that we could all live in freedom. We must honor these veterans and understand what they did for America—and the world. We must also recognize and pay tribute to those who served in subsequent wars in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. In World War II, American casualties numbered approximately 405,399. By comparison, 36,574 Americans died in the Korean War, 58,209 died in the Vietnam War, 4,486 died in Iraq and at least 2,146 members of the U.S. military have died in Afghanistan to date. Each year, on November 11, we put aside this day (Veterans Day in the United States and Remembrance Day in Canada) to reflect on and honor those who served and those who made the ultimate sacrifice. This year, take an extra minute of personal silence and pay your respects to the brave veterans who served this great country.

PHRASE:Showing compassion is not a weakness. MEANING:It’s about demonstrating character, integrity, honor and the ability to care about others. Actions and decisions are not always about what’s best for the bottom line—even though that can be hard to believe in this day and age. Even if it costs a little more, doing what’s right for your fellow man can show real guts and character. It will also make you feel like a much better human being.

G8>@E>�9FFBJ> @Mrs. Velvet and the Blue String

Theory: Book One, Queen of Her Faters. Velvet and the Blue String

Theory, Book One: Queen of

Her Fate is an experiential

trilogy that illustrates that

life is beyond what is perceived. The

words and images on the pages OPEN

UP magical experiences within the

reader’s life. Linda Heart, the author,

combines ancient information with the

fictional tale of a woman’s journey to

bring to the world the first coded book

that affects the fibers of the reader’s

reality, much like a Cirque du Soleil

experience of the mind. It is THE

SECRET beyond The Secret for which

everyone in the world still searches.

The trilogy is based upon the concept

of Play Forward – Match Back, in which

toys, tokens, game pieces, cards and

theories are markers that hold space in

the story as characters weave back and

forth between the setup and the fulfillment

of what was set up along 12 timelines.

This setup challenges readers to make

the nonlinear connections utilizing

new neurological pathways in the

brain, creating new perspectives on

life and revealing how everything is

interconnected—as if by a blue string.

During the process of writing this

material Linda Heart began to have

experiences that defy current physics

models. She began to time travel. She

credits the material within Mrs. Velvet

and the Blue String Theory for this

phenomenon. Her goal is to spread this

knowledge around the world so people

can awaken to their hidden potential—

traveling through time.

Linda Heart is known as The Purveyor

of Curiosité. She is an author, explorer,

filmmaker, speaker, blogger, vlogger

and time traveler. She has studied with

Camelot. Blended lost ancient elixirs that

OPEN UP THE HEART. Received

treasure maps detailing star gates from

a fellow traveler who vanished after the

exchange.

After years of experimenting in her

own laboratory and traveling the world,

Heart reveals the concepts that she has

synthesized from these life experiences.

Her reference library is full of ancient

knowledge. She believes this information

has been hidden from the people of the

world so that they do not realize who

they truly are. Simple equations and a

new way of thinking are what reconnect

people to their own magic and to each

other.

The Blue String Theory is a new social

revolution in which people can see how

the world is affected by reconnecting

to one another by passing a blue string

along with a tag that states: “Love x

1.618 Do an act of gratitude.” (The most

powerful emotion in the world, LOVE,

evoked by an act of gratitude multiplied

by the spiral mathematics of the universe

heals the disconnection that keeps us

separate from one another and from our

magic.)

Linda Heart debuted book one of

the Mrs. Velvet and the Blue String Theory

trilogy at the Sundance Film Festival

in January 2013, to overwhelming

success. Thinking outside the box, she

rented a bookstore on Main Street and

transformed the space by removing all

of the existing books and merchandise

and filling the store with 8,888 paperback

copies of Mrs. Velvet and the Blue String

Theory. She created a one-book bookstore.

The space around the shelves of books

was decorated with a complete movie

set design with coded messages in the

props. Everyone who visited commented

on the level of creativity. Unbeknownst

to them, it was all coded to pique their

curiosity as time travelers phased in and

out of the space.

The debut of Mrs. Velvet and the Blue

String Theory at Sundance was covered

nationally by National Public Radio.

Heart was interviewed by PBS and local

newspapers for her innovative way of

thinking and for creating such a one-of-

a-kind event.

“When you read and digest Mrs. Velvet and

the Blue String Theory you realize the world

is fighting against itself. Nothing makes sense

in this world but love.”

—Angela Ittu

n 2012, one third of all

foreign direct investment (FDI)

into the United States came

from Canada. Both countries

government is fiscally sound and has

a budget-conscious focus that is offering

the key corporate incentives necessary

to attract Canadian investment to its

doorstep. And Arizona is ahead in this

regard because, the four states that share

a border with Arizona offer less financial

stability to Canadian investors.

The Canadian dollar is on par with the

U.S. dollar, Arizona’s economy is improving,

and the state’s government is eager to

attract Canadian business. Arizona’s

governor and legislators recognize

the investment potential, and they are

aggressively soliciting direct investment

from Canada.

Arizona’s economic recovery is on

the move. It’s rising fast and capturing

the attention of Canadian companies.

With the state’s higher quality of life,

IArizona: A Prime Target for FDIBY JAMES L. COPLAND

In 2012, Canada’s total (bilateral) trade

investment totaled $ 3.9 billion.

There are many people on both sides

of the border who agree that during the

height of Arizona’s recession, Canadian

investors were a financial lifesaver for the

state. Billions of Canadian dollars were

spent in the tourism, real estate, and direct

foreign investment sectors. In 2012, no

other single country spent or invested

more in the United States than did

Canada.

The Canada Arizona Business Council

(CABC), a Phoenix-based organization

founded by Montreal native and highly

successful industry veteran R. Glenn

Williamson, refers to Canada’s total

influence in Arizona as the “Canadian

footprint.” This footprint includes FDI,

bilateral trade, real-estate purchases,

travel, and tourism. By 2015, the CABC

sees the value of this investment footprint

rising to $6 billion.

Bilateral trade between Canada and

the United States (and specifically

Arizona) is rising dramatically. For

Canadian companies heading south

to do business, Arizona’s government

and climate offer significant long-term

incentives and benefits for investing in

the state. On the northern side of this

equation, Canada lures U.S. and Arizona-

based businesses to conduct business

on their soil through lower corporate

tax rates, concessions, and government

incentives. It’s a great partnership.

In terms of population numbers,

Arizona is the second-fastest growing

state in the United States. As to trade,

after Mexico, Canada is Arizona’s second-

largest trading partner. Arizona’s

enjoy an economic partnership

that’s unique in the contemporary

world. These nations share a border,

a compatible history, and the greatest

bilateral trading relationship of any

two countries on Earth. Canada’s stable

economy, reputable political environment,

and solid financial practices make Canadian

companies good business allies.

Canada currently boasts one of the

world’s most vibrant economies, and

Arizonans are becoming substantial

benefactors of Canadian direct foreign

investments. Canadian companies are

pouring capital into Arizona faster

than ever before, and this trend will

continue. In 2011, TransCanada finished

a $500 million-plus power-generating

station project in Coolidge, Arizona.

EPCOR Water USA has made more

than a half-billion dollar investment in

Arizona water systems. Bank of Montreal

purchased M&I Bank, spending more

than $4 billion and now has 60 branches

in Arizona. Bombardier, who won the

contract to create the PHX Sky Train

at Phoenix’s Sky Harbor International

Airport, continues to expand its Tucson

operations. Stantec and PCL from

Edmonton are expanding their engineering

service operations in Arizona.

The United States has become Canada’s

largest foreign investor. And the state

of Arizona, the city of Phoenix, and

the greater Phoenix area have become a

regional hotbed for Canadian investment,

covering a broad spectrum of industries.

lower cost of living, and excellent year-round weather,

a business-friendly state government, a centrally located

transportation network that serves the Southwest and the

rest of the country, it’s no wonder that some 300 Canadian-

owned companies have already chosen Arizona to expand their

operations or establish their U.S. roots.

The financial bloodline between Canada and Arizona is

called “trade,” and Arizonans are confident that it always will

be. Bilateral trade between Canada and Arizona appears to

have a long a very bright future.

Bilateral trade between Canada and Arizona covers a

wide spectrum of exports and imports. Tourism aside, these

areas include aerospace parts and manufacturing, food,

telecommunications, medical equipment, banking, technology,

construction, mining, and renewable energy. Despite the

significant exports from the United States to Canada, this

next fact may be difficult to fully comprehend: Even though

less than 1 percent of U.S. businesses export anything, those that

do export 60 percent of all goods directly to Canada. Canada purchased

more goods and services from the United States than the

combined buying power of the European Common Union

(ECC). More than 10 million American jobs rely on the

trade between Canada and the United States for their

survival. Within the state of Arizona, that number currently

totals almost 130,000 and is climbing higher every year as

trade between the two regions continues to increase.

Under the vision of R. Glenn Williamson is the highly

successful Canada Arizona Business Council, an elite

professional organization he founded and now serves as its

CEO.

Williamson stated, “Whether it’s Honeywell engines

being exported to Quebec for use in Bombardier jets, aircraft

parts manufactured by Hamilton Sundstrand exported to their

sister company, Pratt & Whitney, in Montreal, or Scottsdale-

based General Dynamics C4 [GDC4] Systems working with

its Calgary-based subsidiary of the same name, the list goes

on and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. The

bottom line is that Canada continues to make the USA and

Arizona its number one investment market.”

“The CABC will play a strategic role for shaping bilateral

trade alliances between Arizona and Canada in the 21st century,”

shared Holly Mechsner, the CABC director of development.

efore you meet composer Sean

Callery, who is making news

in the world of music, here’s

a word that might be new to

piece “denotes freedom, mourning,

rebirth.” These large themes in sound

can be heard at this link: youtube.com/

watch?v=_nb6r7xDGzg

MyLIFE: What are some of your

favorite sounds in nature and in

technology? Any least favorite

sounds?

Callery: I grew up in Rhode Island

near the ocean, and I love the sounds of

water—especially the breaking waves.

As an infant, [I had] a lung problem

[that] necessitated steam treatments, and

I love the sound of steam. As for a least

favorite sound, I don’t know if I have

one but when I experience low frequencies

(below 60 hertz) at very loud levels, I

feel nauseous.

MyLIFE: Is it easier to compose for

a television series or a movie?

Callery: The creative process is similar

for each—I learn the story, see the picture

and put myself into it, to hear it. What

differs is timing. For a film, it can take a

year or more due to the two or three

B

Composer Sean Callery—Expounding on SoundBY MARY L. HOLDEN

said he didn’t start out to combine natural

sounds with “machine sounds,” but his

goal is always to find a unique musical

contribution to the story, for television

and film.

Born and raised in Rhode Island,

Callery studied classical piano during

childhood. As a teenager, he educated

himself in various musical styles and

began playing jazz piano on weekends in

local nightclubs. He studied composition

and earned a degree in piano performance

in 1987 from the New England

Conservatory of Music in Boston. Right

after graduation, he moved to Los

Angeles.

Callery has written the scores for

three films and for TV shows such

as “24,” “Homeland,” “Elementary”

and “Bones.” In 2007 at the Fimucité

International Film Music festival on

the Canary Islands, in Spain, Callery

got to conduct The Tenerife Orchestra

and Choir performing a musical suite

from the “24” series. He describes it

as a “pinnacle experience.” The sound

of the choir above the strings in this

you: electroacoustic. In six syllables is the

definition of music made possible by the

combination of electricity and sound—

sounds produced by humans with musi-

cal instruments combined with charged

particles produced by machines.

The first known use of electroacoustic

music as an art form—taped music (music

recorded on a machine), electronic

music (pure sound, as in a sine wave)

and computer-generated music

(sound design that is based on digital

programming)—was in the 1940s when

taped music was placed into music

written for an orchestra.

Callery was born several years after

computers found their musicality, but

his career was born of the marriage of

electricity and sound vibration. He’s been

recognized as an artist who understands

electroacoustics and brings it to the

public in compositions that support

popular television shows and films. He

Sean Callery’s original music is woven through the following films and television shows:Film: Documentary, “Crazy Wisdom: The Life and Times of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche,” 2011TV movie, “24: Redemption,” 2008Anchor Bay Films’ “Small Time,” April 2014Television:Fox’s “24: Live Another Day,” a reboot of the network’s popular franchiseShowtime’s award-winning drama “Homeland” CBS’ hit Sherlock Holmes-inspired drama series “Elementary” “Bones,” the ninth season of Fox’s longest-running procedural dramaReelz’s “The Kennedys”


hours it can take to film a scene that may get cut and re-cut to fit timing, while a TV series has regular deadlines and a methodical flow. What’s interesting is that people are watching TV series in a different way now. Instead of watching each episode over time, they bunch them together and watch marathon-style. It’s called “binge watching.” It is interesting to contemplate how this type of con-centrated viewing behavior changes the way the music is received.

MyLIFE: You’ve won three Emmys out of 13 nominations. What does that kind of recognition feel like to you?Callery: It is extraordinary to be nominated because the Emmys are based on judgment from my peers. The very first nomination, however, will always be probably the most special.

MyLIFE: Do you have an opinion about how music will continue to

evolve?Callery: As long as humans have beatinghearts they will have things to communicate, and they’ll be creating music for a long time. The traditional and classical musical forms will continue to co-exist with those of a more experimental and nonorganic nature,

MyLIFE: Tell us something new about your life/music/career/philosophy. Callery: There are two things. One is that if I was not a musician, I would be a cartoonist! The other is that I’ve always been drawn to the term “beginner’s mind.” I’ve worked with music students at a New York university and it’s great to see the creativity that arises from the minds of young students. To me, it represents both curiosity and reciprocity—learning and helping other people is the recipe for long-term happiness.

Every Tuesday morning, Callery plays piano and sings with a Dixieland group in the neighborhood where he lives with his wife, Debbie. They met at the art show of a sculptor and have been married 14 years. “She tutors students from some of the overcrowded schools here in Los Angeles,” he said, “and she is an inspiration to me.”Visit Sean Callery’s website at seancallery.com

and each will grow. There are always fears that technological advances will corrupt the prior time-honored tra-dition of art and its execution. Years ago people thought we would never have live orchestras on television shows again. However, there are more live orchestral performances on TV now than there were 10 years ago.

President John F. KennedyJohn F. Kennedy was sworn in as the 35th President of the United States on January 20,

1961. In his inaugural speech, he spoke of the need for all Americans to be active

citizens. “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your

country,” he proclaimed.

Kennedy faced incredible challenges during his short term in office. He not only pushed

for space exploration programs—which were often labeled part of the New Frontier—but

he also asked the nations of the world to join together to fight what he called “common

enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease and war itself.”

President Kennedy also took action to prevent thermonuclear war from occurring. Even

though his domestic legislation record was less than successful (as Congress repeatedly

blocked his policy proposals), he signed landmark legislation, such as the Equal Pay Act

of 1963, which prohibited arbitrary discrimination against women in the payment

of wages.

On November 21, 1963, President Kennedy flew to Dallas, Texas, to give

several political speeches. The next day, as his car drove slowly past cheering

crowds, he was seriously wounded by sniper gunfire and died a short time later.

Within a few hours of the shooting, Dallas police arrested suspect Lee Harvey

Oswald and charged him with the

murder. Three days later, Jack Ruby

shot and killed Oswald,

silencing the only known person

who could have offered more

information about this tragedy. The

Warren Commission was organized

to investigate the assassination of

President John F. Kennedy and to

clarify the many questions that

remained—many of which have

never been answered.

President Kennedy’s death blanketed the country with

enormous sadness and grief. Millions of Americans still remember where they

were and what they were doing when they heard CBS News anchor Walter

Cronkite announce the president’s death.

Vice President Lyndon Johnson was sworn in as the 36th President of the

United States 99 minutes after Kennedy’s death. The oath of office took place

aboard Air Force One, next to a grieving Jackie Kennedy. Johnson made no

formal statement.

On December 10, 1963, five-year-old Donny Osmond made his

debut as a singer on The Andy Williams Show with his siblings,

billing themselves as the Osmond Brothers.

Osmond told Williams that he was a big fan of Williams’

music and that he played Williams’ songs at home all the time.

During the show, Osmond sang his favorite song, “You Are My

Sunshine,” from one of Williams’ record. He and his brothers

rocketed to stardom after appearing on the show.

Osmond credits Williams for giving him the opportunity to

fulfill his dreams. In the next five decades, Osmond went on

to become a critically acclaimed singer, a songwriter and a

generous philanthropist, raising millions of dollars for many

charitable organizations.

East Germany constructed the Berlin Wall in

August 1961 to prevent its citizens from

The wall separated thousands of families and

friends between East and West Berlin.

Sullivan encountered thousands of teenagers waiting anxiously in the rain.

When he asked about the commotion—he had never encountered

anything like it—he was told that The Beatles were coming home from

tour. As soon as Sullivan arrived at his hotel, he inquired about booking

the group for his popular show.

The Beatles’ manager, Brian Epstein, reached an agreement with

Sullivan in November 1963 to bring the popular group to America to

perform live for the first time on U.S. television. The Beatles received

$10,000 (about $75,000 today) for three appearances on the show

during the month of February 1964, the first of which aired live on

February 9. On that night, an estimated 73 million people gathered in

front of their TV sets to see The Beatles.

In 1973, Norton shocked the boxing world when he broke Ali’s jaw in their first bout, beating Ali by split decision in a nontitle fight in San Diego. The two fought again, six months later, but this time Ali won by unanimous decision. A third and final epic battle between the two boxers took place in 1976 at Yankee Stadium, where Ali won and maintained his heavyweight title. The following year, Norton beat a heavyweight title eliminator and the WBC declared him champion. Norton’s career ended with a record of 42-7-1 and 33 knockouts. After retiring, he pursued an acting career and appeared in more than 20 movies, most notably in “Mandingo.” Norton was also a ringside commentator for several television networks.

No other bestselling author detailed storylines about military weaponry and the art of espionage the way Tom Clancy did. Clancy’s debut as an author came in the form of “The Hunt for Red October” in 1984. The book has been labeled one of the greatest genre novels ever written and propelled Clancy to stardom. At that time, espionage thrillers were not all that common, and the technical details Clancy provided about military weaponry and vehicles and intelligence agencies were remarkably accurate. “The Hunt for Red October,” along with other series of bestselling spy novels, became the basis for several blockbuster movies, starring big names such as Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck and Alec Baldwin. These actors all played Clancy’s hero protagonist, Jack Ryan. Other movie adaptations included “The Patriot Games,” “Clear and Present Danger” and “The Sum of All Fears.”

Jon Flora was a prime example of one who lived the American dream. He began his career in 1971 as a bagger, at the age of 15, working for Dillon’s grocery stores in western Kansas. Flora worked his way up the corporate ladder, achieving the title of regional manager. When Dillon’s merged with Kroger Co. in 1983, he was promoted to senior vice president. Finally, in 2007, he became president and CEO of Fry’s Food Stores of Arizona, which is owned by Kroger. Flora was known as a “people person” who loved interacting with employees and customers frequently. According to his co-workers and those close to him, Flora touched many people’s lives during his career—and he will be greatly missed.

Let Us Never Forget Our World War II Veterans

ovember 11 is the day we

honor brave Americans who

served in our armed forces.

Veterans Day became a legal

federal holiday in the United States in

1938. Great Britain, France, Australia and

Canada also commemorate the veterans

of World Wars I and II on or near

November 11. Canada has Remembrance

Day, while Britain has Remembrance

Sunday (the second Sunday of November).

But have we as a society forgotten

those who served our country more

than half a century ago? I hope not!

World War II veterans are dying at a

rate of about 650 a day. Most of them

are well into their 80s and 90s. These

are grim statistics that serve as a powerful

reminder: We must do everything we

can to honor these individuals and let

them know we’re aware of the courageous

acts they performed during extraordinary

times.

In 2007, there were about 2.9 million

World War II veterans living in the

United States—a number that has fallen

to 1.5 million just six years later. That’s

about one tenth of the 16.1 million

Americans who served in the war.

When these veterans returned home,

many had no parades, no hero’s welcome

and few thank-yous. But most of them

didn’t mind. In fact, when you talk to

them, many will tell you that they don’t

want the acknowledgement—even

when you thank them for their service

and call them heroes. They don’t want

to talk about it. They will tell you that

the real heroes are the ones who perished

“over there”—in France, Iwo Jima,

Bastogne, Pearl Harbor or Germany—

the infantry, airborne, cavalry, armored

and mountain divisions. They are selfless

individuals who were a product of their

generation—a generation that journalist

Tom Brokaw referred to as the “Greatest

Generation”—ordinary Americans who

grew up during the Great Depression

(America’s worst economic collapse

in the history of modern times) and

answered the call to fight in World

War II, then came back and built the

world’s most prosperous society and

elevated the United States to superpower

status.

Take a minute to honor America’s

Greatest Generation as you view

the following pages. Reflect on the

countless battles they encountered, their

incredible resilience and resolve, and

their courageous fighting spirit against

tyranny over oppressed people around

the world. May their incredible valor be

an inspiration to future generations and

never, ever be forgotten.

9P�D8IP�C%�?FC;<E ARCHITECTURAL EDUCATION

:<F�J<I@<J1�FE<$FE$FE<�f there is such a thing as reincarnation, the spirit of Frank Lloyd Wright probably had many interesting lives before he came to be an architect. Perhaps he lived former lives in places like caves and trees before living

lives in dugouts, tents or shanties that required engineering. Even when the notion of reincarnation is rejected, the question of how Wright became a force in the geography of architecture remains a mystery. Although such building-for-human-shelter had been going on for centuries, Wright’s ideas on structure are now a body of philosophy based on three factors—land, person, materials. His work is well known in the U.S. and his long life enabled his ability to teach others his vision. Born in Wisconsin in 1867, he spent many winters in his later years in Arizona. He died in Phoenix in 1959 at the age of 89—but his spirit and legacy live on through the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, which is based at Taliesin West in Scottsdale. Sean Malone has been the President and CEO of the Foundation since January 2012. Here, he talks about his work in managing the vision to lead a “global, multi-disciplinary center for education, scholarship, debate and research committed to the place of architecture and the arts in enriching the quality and dignity of life.”

MyLIFE: You’ve had a lot of experience fundraising for nonprofits. Why were you drawn to the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation?Malone: In Taliesin West, and through the body of work of Wright, I see a remarkable potential to transform lives in two ways: one, through programs that will shape the field of architecture and design and two, in allowing the public— individuals—an opportunity to the role of architecture and design in their own lives. As for the field of architecture, the fully accredited Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture (which currently offers B.A.S. and M.Arch. degrees) has extraordinary impact. The students are immersed in Wright’s principles and philosophies—which positions them to shape the future of architecture, to create the innovative spaces that will shape individuals and communities for decades to come. We also engage in programs that reach beyond our enrolled students—symposia, lectures, publications, and more. As for the public, over 100,000 people tour Taliesin West every year. We offer education programs to students from kindergarten to 12th grade, distance learning and summer camps. We are looking for opportunities to transform people’s lives through the living

experience of Wright’s body of work. The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation makes it possible for people to have a unique experience in connecting to the value and power of architecture, beyond the textbooks.

MyLIFE: What intrigues you most about Frank Lloyd Wright’s life and legacy?Malone: I am drawn to Frank Lloyd Wright’s life and work because of the extraordinary core values found in his body of work and how they still resonate with people today. He was focused on how people live their lives and how architecture is a cause that can be used for the betterment of mankind. He valued good design and wanted all people to have access to it. To study Wright is more than a history lesson, although he contributed much to the world. In addition to masterpiece residential structures like Fallingwater, Hollyhock and

But, he’s also a fan of True Food Kitchen


N@K?�J<8E�D8CFE<Taliesin, think of the Usonian Houses he designed for the middle class and the Fireproof House that sold in Ladies Home Journal magazine for $5,000 in 1907 during the advent of electricity in homes. We recently put together a symposium on the intersection of architecture and neuroscience. Neuroscience is starting to prove what Wright and other great architects have always understood —that the spaces with which we surround ourselves fundamentally change who we are, how we think, how we feel, and how we connect with each other. I’m deeply drawn to how relevant that idea is, how important it is for the future we create for ourselves —as individuals, as communities, and as a global society. But Wright asked questions like ‘what are the spaces we choose?’ and ‘what is it that great architecture does to you?’ More and more evidence is coming in to show how exterior spaces change our interior spaces, our thoughts. How we connect to space is how we connect to one another.

MyLIFE: Please tell us about your effort to bring Taliesin West efficiency in energy use.Malone: When I started working here in February 2012, the Energizing Taliesin West initiative had already begun. The plan was to start by reducing use by 50 percent through a number of conservation efforts and then, once we had, to install solar panels to produce the other 50 percent in order to get to a net-zero energy site [to produce as much energy as is consumed]. But then we were offered an enormously generous donation of a solar field up front. So we did that first and are now in the phase of middle-sized conservation efforts to dramatically reduce our energy use: light bulb choices, temperature and humidity controls, mechanical systems, gas lines, etc. The potential for Taliesin West to be a beacon for energy use awareness is truly exciting.

MyLIFE: What were your thoughts when you first viewed Taliesin West and how do you feel about Arizona?Malone: It’s beautiful here! It’s so moving that it’s difficult to find the right adjectives. Like another Arizona attraction, the Grand Canyon, it’s impossible to oversell because it’s always going to be surprising. Taliesin West has a scale that is very real and personal. It is both powerful and intimate.

MyLIFE: Do you, like Wright, split your time between Wisconsin and Arizona?Malone: My home is in Wisconsin, but I travel all over the country and I happily get to spend a lot of time in Arizona.

MyLIFE: You are married to an accomplished fundraising executive, Erika Kent. Tell us about her. How did you meet?Malone: We worked together at Ten Chimneys—in fact we were both founding employees of the project. Ten Chimneys has been a National Historic Landmark since 2003. It is the former home of actors Lynn Fontanne and Alfred Lunt, in Genesee Depot, WI. It is a museum and a resource for theatre, arts and arts education. We have two daughters—Emma is 11 and Lilli is 6.

MyLIFE: Some of Frank Lloyd Wright’s children and grandchildren worked in the world of architecture. Do you think your daughters will become fundraisers?Malone: Emma has been doing online fundraising for five years—first for Heifer International and now for Feeding America. Lilli is a powerhouse—I don’t know if she’ll be a fundraiser, but she’ll be in charge of something some day!

MyLIFE: Wright himself said, “The architect must be a prophet… a prophet in the true sense of the term… if he can’t see at least ten years ahead don’t call him an architect.” Your vision for the Foundation is off to a good start, but here is a chance for you to “be a prophet.” Malone: Taliesin West is a place of inspiration. Who we are as a society or individuals is defined by a sense of both connection and intention. The power and value of great design for all was central to Wright’s work, and I see more and more ways to embrace the opportunity to bring this vision further into the world. It’s not about copying Wright’s original designs or aesthetics—it is about the opportunity to harness architecture as a way to improve lives.

As a writer, philosopher and observer, Wright is quoted as saying, “The space within becomes the reality of the building.” With Sean Malone’s heart and soul as part of the interior space of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, the external future of it is guaranteed to be solid, organic and probably fireproof, too.

A surprise autumn blizzard that dropped up to 4 feet of snow resulted in the loss of tens of thousands of cattle in western South Dakota. Many of the animals froze to death, and many others drowned. Among those that survived, illness is likely to lead to additional deaths in the winter months ahead. The loss to farmers is catastrophic, considering that many did not have insurance coverage for storm-related damages.

earable communication devices, especially smart watches, represent a hot market segment right W

Wearable Technology: Its Implications, Restrictions and Futureby warren jones

deep in its lab. Can you expect to see a wrist-sized device that has all the functionality of your smartphone in the near future? Probably not. The limitations of our current technology won’t be giving us a standalone wrist phone anytime soon. But still, I love the smart watch idea. I want emails and SMS messages on my wrist, with the ability to reply. I want to make and receive private phone calls using nothing but my watch. I want to be able to use it to send contact information to new friends or business associates. I want my watch to vibrate if I happen to be near a friend at a concert or the mall. Is that too much to ask? Current smart watches require a connection to a phone in order to function, and while most of us carry our phones with us constantly, being able to have a watch phone while running, working in the yard or engaging in other activities where you don’t need a full-blown phone would be useful. Technology can’t (yet) cram all of the

now, but is it truly a new and emerging market, or has technology finally caught up to our active lifestyle? The idea for a wrist-sized phone or communication device has been around for decades (think Dick Tracy, Star Trek, etc.), and a watch seems like a natural place to put a communication device, or any device that gives you instant feedback. Wearable pedometers also have been around for a while, giving you information about calories burned, steps taken and distance traveled. Nike has even carved out a small, but growing, market with its FuelBand, which is a fancy pedometer that turns movement into “fuel” and allows users to track their activities online or with a smartphone. Technology companies and startups are quickly scrambling to bring the perfect device to consumers. Apple is even rumored to be working on something

required cellular radios and batteries into something that fits on your wrist. Charging a smartphone every night is second nature to most of us, but charging a watch? Not so much. Making and receiving private calls is an issue, and the screens are typically too small to be useful. Sure, the idea of watching a movie on my wrist sounds cool, but in reality I wouldn’t make it past the opening credits. Look at any available smart watch on the market today, and they all fall short of replacing your phone entirely. Each smart watch available does certain things well, such as reading messages, giving you notifications, playing music, etc. But none of them do all of the things your phone can do, nor can they do them as well. Much like the birth of smartphones in the early 2000s with BlackBerry and Palm devices, these devices will only get better with time and technology will find a way to bring us closer to a true wrist phone, but we may never get all the way there.

The S9C is very expensive, though. It retails for

ll living creatures experience illness. Some suffer in silence. When it was Michelle King Robson’s time to suffer, silence

erased her will to live. No doctor had an answer for her. “All I wanted,” she said, “was to find someone who had already been where I was and to let me know that I would be okay.” At the depths of despair, a friend loaned her a book. As she read it, her will to live returned—as did another kind of willfulness. She wanted for no other person to suffer as she had. That’s when she turned to social media for an answer and created the website EmpowHER.com. Robson wanted to change the way health care happens in the world by empowering one individual at a time—starting with women. It’s a fact that less medical research has been done on behalf of women over the years. And, women are less likely to advocate for themselves when it comes to managing their health. Robson notes that most women are natural caregivers. “The biological mothering instinct gives them an edge on compassion, and it is through their example that people will be better able to communicate about their health status.”

A

This is the website where people in sickness and seeking relief can go from illness to willness—by sharing their story, by giving compassion to others who are experiencing a crisis or by finding resources. Sharing personal stories about the descent into illness and the rise to good health accomplishes several things for an individual. The EmpowHER website: allows those who want to get, be or stay well to share a story and ask questions; lets those who are suffering find a deeper understanding of the nature of their illness, and the limits of sickness and health; makes compassion possible via technology; gives health care professionals a chance to step out of their official roles and share their expertise by providing a new platform for their voice; serves as a convenient venue for the ill to be witnessed as unique beings; supplies an ever-changing pool of resources for cures, modalities, treatments, options, choices and technology; provides a place of exchange between those who are ill, those who have healed, those who have knowledge to share and those who want to give the time to show compassion. Lives have been changed for the better through EmpowHER.com, and they’ve also been saved. “A user named MonaLou was on the site when she came across symptoms that matched the ones she’d heard her partner complain about,” Robson shared. “Within a day, he’d gotten to a doctor, had a major surgery in the nick of time and is doing well today. This is just one of many such stories that I’ve heard from users of the site.” Robson gave a TEDx talk in October about the website. The fact that the Internet provides a way to tap into our mass consciousness regarding the way humans manage their health is something new that makes this world a better place. Here’s to your keyboard and screen! Here’s to your health!

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

The second installment of The Hunger Games trilogy comes to theaters on November 22. In the sequel “Catching Fire,” we follow Katniss Everdeen, played by Jennifer Lawrence, as she returns home safely after winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games. Her stay is cut short, though, as she must leave her family and loved ones behind and embark on a “Victor’s Tour” around the 13 districts of the nation of Panem. During her trek, Katniss finds proof of a rebellion building up, but the Capitol is still under the control of President Snow, who is ready to declare the 75th Annual Hunger Games, also known as The Quarter Quell. The film also focuses on the love triangle between Katniss, Peeta Mellark ( Josh Hutcherson) and Gale Hawthorne (Liam Hemsworth).

The Hobbit: The Desolation of SmaugHobbit Bilbo Baggins’ (Martin Freeman) quest to help the dwarves reclaim their lost kingdom of Erebor continues. After having successfully crossed over and under the Misty Mountains, Baggins and the dwarf leader Thorin (Richard Armitage) seek help from a powerful stranger before they can cross over the dangerous Mirkwood Forest—without Gandolf, their wizard, who has “secret” business affairs in the south of Middle Earth. The party must also complete the journey to Lonely Mountain, where Baggins must reach the Secret Door that will give them access to the hoard of the dragon Smaug. The film is the second in a trilogy adapting the enduringly popular masterpiece works of J.R.R. Tolkien. “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug” opens December 13.

Walking with Dinosaurs

How would you like to truly see and feel what it was like when dinosaurs ruled the Earth? “Walking with Dinosaurs” is the first dinosaur computer-animated movie to use the latest 3-D technology that will put you in the middle of a thrilling and epic story of prehistoric proportions. “Walking with Dinosaurs” is based on the popular 1999 BBC miniseries of the same name. In this film, though, Patchi (voice-over by Charlie Rowe), a Pachyrhinosaurus dinosaur, takes the center stage. The story follows Patchi, his brother Scowler and a female named Juniper from hatchlings to adulthood through their herd’s mass migrations in the Late Cretaceous period—about 70 million years ago. Patchi, triumphs against all odds to become the leaderof his herd and an unlikely hero. “Walking with Dinosaurs” opens December 21.

ixteen days after the government shutdown began, Washington reached a compromise, and with it came a financial hit to the U.S. economy of nearly $25 billion. And who do you expect will pay that bill? The

American people, of course. That hefty price tag doesn’t take into consideration the (further) loss of credibility and trust the United States experienced throughout the rest of the world as a result of the shutdown. Making the whole shameful charade even more disgraceful is the fact that even though they are the ones who caused the shutdown, the politicians on the Hill continued to receive their paychecks while hundreds of thousands of federal workers were furloughed, not knowing if or when they would

get paid, and countless other contract and private sector workers who were affected by the shutdown went without pay for two whole weeks and will not receive any back pay. Do you think the founding fathers anticipated such irresponsible actions when they drafted the U.S. Constitution? The corruption, dysfunction and hypocrisy of Washington demonstrate the utter contempt those in power have for their “fellow” Americans. Despite receiving base annual salaries of $174,000, along with generous perks that increase most of those salaries to well over $200,000 a year—these public buffoons continue to serve themselves, not the people. If those on the Hill were so determined to deprive hard-working Americans of

their paychecks, why should they have been paid for NOT working?Why are their actions not predicated on the age-old expression, “What’s good for the goose is good for the gander?” The answer is simple: because many of them are multimillionaires who, based on their place in life, never endure any of the pain and suffering they inflict on others —and when they come to Washington, they think they know everything, which, as evidenced by their lack of action, they clearly don’t! Let’s face it. They simply live on a totally different planet than the rest of us do. Just when we all thought it couldn’t get any worse, Washington reached an all-time low by shutting down the government, which quickly became a global embarrassment for the entire country while the rest of the world watched in total disbelief. This self-serving political infighting hurt everyone (except the politicians) and further desecrated America’s already badly eroded image. Have we all become so numb and apathetic to five years of nothing that we have lost our patriotic pride? I wonder when Americans will say, “Enough is enough, already!” and toss the entire lot. I don’t really care what your place in life is—whether you are rich or poor—the reality is if you had a child or an employee who acted like our politicians have for the last five years, you’d have thrown them out of the house or fired them long before now. If businesses in the private sector—you know, companies like Fry’s, Target, Delta Airlines, Coca-Cola and McDonald’s —were run like our elected officials are running the government (which actually, folks, is our business) they’d all be out of business. But, until there’s some kind of intervention, as long as American taxpayers continue to fund these self-serving egotists, blanketing them with perks and privileges not afforded the rest of us, it’s only going to get a lot worse. Government shutdown? Nonsense! It wasn’t a shutdown. It was a three-ring circus, a dog-and-pony show that went on while elected officials on the Hill collected a full paycheck of somewhere around $15,000 to $20,000 per month. While they went about their business pointing their fingers at each other and trying to convince the American public that it was all “the other guy’s” fault, the hundreds of thousands of workers who were going without pay were left to worry about whether they could hold on to their homes or feed their children. Families that were already reeling from the recession (and the more recent

sequestration) were made to suffer even more. The Hill is totally oblivious to the reality that many Americans already live paycheck to paycheck. How many politicians could feed their family on food stamps? Yet, funding for food stamps was slashed in September. The shutdown closed federal parks and monuments, threatened veterans’ benefits, interfered with the safety of all Americans (on a number of fronts), and made life even more challenging for the country’s poor and needy—and you truly believe these politicians are “serving the people”? Come on. They only care about themselves. If anything should be viewed as sacred, it’s those who put their lives in harm’s way to protect our American freedom. A Navy veteran recently said to me, “Any nation that forgets its veterans is doomed to fail.” Well, guess what? Our veterans were among the millions of Americans who got screwed during the shutdown. Shameful! Among their many perks, the 535 members of Congress (whom we put into office to represent us) provide themselves with a world-class healthcare program, but then they tell the rest of us that the government can’t afford to cover our health care. Perhaps even more galling, they are provided impressive pensions to make sure they can continue to live comfortably when they are no longer working “for us”—even though 80 percent of American corporations no longer offer this benefit to their employees. And get this: They passed legislation (which was subsequently revoked) to protect themselves against the possibility of being prosecuted for insider trading. While they were exempt from prosecution, some legislators pocketed hundreds of thousands of dollars as a result of the insider information they were privy to through the government committees they sat on (and received extra pay for), yet these same politicians (in a different committee down the hall) allocated hundreds of millions of dollars to prosecute and incarcerating everyday Americans for the very same crimes. In closing, when you consider that most politicians spend roughly 50 percent of their entire term in office fundraising for the next election, do you still really think they work for you? I’m surprised that Americans by the millions are not storming the steps of Washington wanting to hog-tie every last one of them—just as the rest of the world is wondering the very same thing.

BY HEATHER KARR

he legislative branch of the Navajo Nation met on June 3, 1940, and issued this statement:

Islands, there was no margin for error in directing supplies, troops and artillery fire. California-based civil engineer Philip Johnston proposed the idea of using the Navajo language as a tool to send secure transmissions. During his childhood, Johnston’s parents worked as missionaries on the Navajo reservation. Although not fluent in Navajo himself, he knew that the language could be used to create and implement a coded messaging system that the Japanese wouldn’t be able to crack. The tribe was geographically isolated, and use of the language was primarily oral and difficult for non-native speakers to learn. Johnston facilitated a trail with a few members of the tribe in late 1941, and by mid-1942, the code talker program was in full swing.

Navajo Code Talkers in World War II

THE UNDECIPHERED CODE Johnston’s role began and ended with implementation and administration of the program and its structure. Navajo recruits did all the work developing and later expanding the code. It consisted of both individual words as well as an alphabet for things that would need to be spelled, like names of people and places. It came to include nearly 400 words, and carrying written copies into battle was against military rules. Every term and letter representation was memorized, and the code was never deciphered by the Japanese. Undoubtedly the most famous—when declassified—of all the code talker transmissions was the one sent from Iwo Jima in February 1945 indicating

T“Whereas, there exists no purer concentration of Americanism than among the First Americans … we resolve that the Navajo Indians stand ready as they did in 1918, to defend our Government and its institutions against all subversive and armed conflict.” This was part of a larger resolution passed by the Navajo Tribal Council more than a year before the United States was officially involved in World War II. When war came suddenly with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1942, Navajo tribe members were ready to serve. Nearly 900 did so in the United States Marine Corps. Of these, a group of more than 400 performed a specialized service during the difficult campaigns in the Pacific, repeatedly helping the Unites States defeat Japanese forces. They were the Navajo Code Talkers. THE NEED Having enemy forces able to decode communications is a highly undesirable state of affairs during war. At the start of the Pacific campaign, Japanese forces were often able to do just that, and sometimes they received U.S. military orders almost as quickly as did the American Marines. Additionally, most Japanese radio operators spoke fluent English and could interrupt transmissions and broadcast false orders. The United States needed a quick, accurate and secure way of sending messages. In the tight maneuvering area of the Pacific

NAVAJO CODE TALKERS AT WORK IN BOUGAINVILLE JUNGLES—Close behind the Bougainville front lines, these American Navajos serving with a Marine signal unit are shown operating a portable radio set in a clearing they have hacked from the dense jungle. They are Cpl. Henry Blake, Jr. (left) of Fort Defiance, Arizona, and Pfc. George H. Kirk of Leupp, Arizona.


that the marines had secured Mt. Suribachi: “Naasisosi Thanzie Dibeh Shida Dahnesisa Tkin Shush Wollachee Moasi Lin Achi,” which translates to “Mouse Turkey Sheep Uncle Ram Ice Bear Ant Cat Horse Intestines.” IN BATTLE Initially in the field Marine commanders were skeptical that such a fast, efficient communication method was completely secure, and they tested the speed and accuracy of the code talkers against more traditional methods of encoding and sending messages. The code talkers repeatedly proved their worth, and by May 1943 nearly all of the commanders in the Pacific were singing their praises. When a message came in for a code talker to decipher, it was preceded by

either “Arizona” or “New Mexico.” With this, the Japanese began to recognize that a certain type of code was being used consistently. Although they were unable to break it, they became increasingly frustrated with their inability to decipher what they heard, and their radio operators would shout and curse at the Navajo in a desperate attempt to interfere with transmissions. Japanese forces were also efficient at tracing the origin of communication signals, and all radio operators had to be skilled to set up their equipment, transmit quickly and run. Teddy Draper Sr. remembers that he “didn’t have time to shoot back” while sending and receiving messages. The presence of the code talkers was largely unexplained to the general Marine population, and this led to some difficult situations. Navajos resembled Japanese soldiers to untrained eyes in the heat of battle, and their own comrades sometimes mistook them for the enemy. A marine sentry “captured” code talker William McCabe, who was almost executed until several members of McCabe’s own unit vouched for his identity. Eventually, a bodyguard was assigned to each code talker for protection.

REMEMBERING The U.S. military kept the Navajo code classified throughout the war and for nearly 30 years afterward; virtually no one knew about the unique service these men provided for their country. In 1969, the Navajo code was declassified, and in 1970 some of the veterans formed the Navajo Code Talker’s Association. Still, public recognition came slowly, and it seems that the government began to fully acknowledge the code talkers only after the civilian population became aware of their existence. In 1981, Ronald Regan designated August 14th as National Code Talker Day, and on March 2, 1989, a monument was dedicated in Phoenix, Arizona, as a tribute to the code talkers’ service. Throughout the 1990s and into the early 21st century, widespread public recognition has continued intermittently, including the creation of a G.I. Joe doll in 2000 and the popular Hollywood movie Windtalkers, produced in 2002. It seems that every few years the code talkers are national news again. May this trend continue well into the future so the important story of their service is never forgotten.

The infallibility of the code came from the nature of the Navajo language itself (unknown to those outside the tribe and unrecorded) and from the clever way the code talkers constructed some of it. Several terms were quite a stretch from their original English meaning, and others used simple but not necessarily intuitive word combinations to achieve the translations. The alphabet worked much the same way, and there were multiple words representing each letter.

The first recorded game resembling the modern version of North American football took place in 1874. The game was between Canada’s McGill University and Harvard University in Massachusetts. During the next 120 years, Canadian and American football evolved from that rugby-like first game. The Canadian Football League (CFL) is a

JGFKC@>?K1�:8E8;@8E�=FFK98CC�C<8>L<

professional sports league in Canada that can be traced back to the late 1800s. Canadian football has maintained its rugby roots. Games are played on larger fields and have a more complex scoring system than the American system. Perhaps the biggest difference between Canadian and American football is players’ salaries. Standard annual salaries for CFL players range from about $30,000 for rookies to about $250,000 for starting quarterbacks, whereas top players in the National Football League (NFL) commonly earn millions of dollars per year. Nevertheless, the CFL has produced great players who spent a lot of time in the league before moving to the NFL for the big money. Players such as Raghib “Rocket” Ismael, Warren Moon and Joe Theismann all established themselves as top players in the CFL before coming to the United States.
