The document discusses opportunities in the game creation industry. It begins with an overview of GameSalad, a tool that allows developers to create games for multiple platforms without coding. It then provides statistics on the game industry and market segments. There is a brief history of video games from the 1970s to present, focusing on trends and major companies. Examples are given of the Austin, Texas game industry. The document outlines areas of upheaval in gaming brought about by social, mobile, and free-to-play models. It discusses new revenue sources like in-app purchases and advertising. In closing, it argues gaming remains a significant investment opportunity.Austin as a Digital Media Nexus.

In the same way that blogging has empowered millions of people worldwide to share their ideas and passion with the world (there are over 200MM blogs!), the rise of easy to use game development tools (GameSalad, Unity) is creating millions of potential game developers. At the same time, billions of new game players are being created via mobile phone gaming, often in markets ill served by the current game industry. Combined, the increase of developers and players create an incredibly opportunity for those with a message to reach millions of new listeners using engaging, sophisticated game play mechanics. The presentation explores how such an outcome may come about, and looks to specific examples where games were used to influence an election in India as well as for education and training.

Presentation to the 2011 Lone Star MENSA regional gathering in Austin, Texas on the depiction, meaning and use of zombies in video games and modern culture. The presentation examines how games depict zombies, typically either as horrific monsters (Left 4 Dead) or "cute" opponents. In either case, zombie games connect with us out of a sense of uncertainty (war, environment, society), a desire for freedom from societal restraint (guns, chainsaws), and the ability to work with others, often in familiar settings, to survive and escape.

Historic places hold the stories of our past, are an important part of building community, and create connections between who we were and who we aspire to be. But how effective is the work of preservation if the next generation doesn't understand the value and significance of these places to our present moment? How do we ignite a passion for history and culture, sparking a lifelong affinity and understanding of the power of place along the way?

The new Government is currently preparing a child poverty strategy, and hoping to emulate the success of the last Labour government, which lifted over half a million children out of poverty over its first five years. This ambition is needed too, because unless action is taken, poverty rates are expected to rise over the course of the parliament. But Britain in the mid-2020s is very different to the late-1990s – a new approach will be needed to lift children out of poverty over the next decade.
What reduced child poverty in the late-1990s and 2000s, and to what extent can that approach be repeated today? What is the role of work, housing, and social security in lifting families above the poverty line? How much might it cost to deliver a successful child poverty strategy? And what are the costs of not doing so?Zambia's National Adaptation Plan Process Overview

This article review critically assesses a study on the decentralization of Disaster Risk Management (DRM) in Ethiopia, focusing on the Oromia region. The purpose of the review is to evaluate the article's methodology, findings, and policy implications, as well as to offer recommendations for further research. The method for the review was content and comparative analysis. The article employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative content analysis and quantitative statistical tools such as STATA version 14 to analyze data from government representatives. Major findings reveal that while decentralization of DRM is better understood at higher administrative levels, its effectiveness is limited due to challenges in training, technology, collaboration, and local capacity. The article highlights that administrative decentralization is more effective than fiscal or political decentralization. However, the research has notable weaknesses, including a limited sample size and reliance on participants' opinions rather than objective indicators measurement, leading to superficial findings. The review suggests that the research methodology could be improved with secondary data and a case study approach to gain a more comprehensive understanding of DRM decentralization. Recommendations for further research are made, emphasizing the need for a more robust analysis and actionable policy guidance.
