When Woody entered South America, he encountered an innumerable amount humbling human experiences with those working to make a better life for them and their family. Experiences that stick with him to this day. Throughout his trip, Woody helped refugees in Colombia, got tear gassed while maneuvering though the riots of Chile and heard horror stories of political protesters “hunted and killed like deer” in Nicaragua.

There, he met Poncho’s wife and son, as well as his cousin, Marta, who had fled Venezuela.

This was done by seizing private assets, including natural resource mining and oil operations and farms. It drove many of the upper and middle class Venezuelans out of the country creating, what demographers call, “the first diaspora“. It created a “brain drain”, or a loss of the country’s highly skilled and educated citizens.

All they needed to do in return was snap a selfie with me. I was like a hairy guardian angel. I helped everyone: solo guys to groups of 15, young punks to hardworking middle-aged families. I loved seeing the look on their faces when I whipped out the big Colombian notes. Priceless. The joy. The gratitude. The camaraderie.” Tyler Wood handing out pesos to Venezuelan refugee in Colombia https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e2e585aea26ab2ae5d5c7a2/t/5e9fdee374fe7d431a5e6d81/1587535611052/app-d-refugees-from-venezuela-en.png Writing - Diáspora Bolivariana: a fresh look at the political and civil unrest in South America from the eyes of a traveler Venezuelans seeking asylum from 2014 to March 2018 (from International Crisis Group) https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e2e585aea26ab2ae5d5c7a2/t/5e9fe44f7e131c476b0c3e31/1587536991348/DZyXx80WAAE0Wqy.jpeg Writing - Diáspora Bolivariana: a fresh look at the political and civil unrest in South America from the eyes of a traveler Infographic by the Wilson Center Latin American Program https://www.drcampbell.org/writing/environmental-effects-of-5g monthly 0.5 2020-04-28 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e2e585aea26ab2ae5d5c7a2/t/5e9ff16663983523df2b9f88/1587540342091/spongebob_face_melt-dmid1-5i1upis8l-256x192-1.gif Writing - Fact vs. Fiction: the Environmental Effects of 5G - While these concerns may seem like First-World problems that come with new innovations like 5G, they are the same claims that were being made 15 years ago during the incorporation of the former generation of wireless technology. According to a World Health Organization fact sheet written in 2006, concerns about the effects of long-term exposure to radio frequency waves on human beings and wildlife were popping up everywhere. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e2e585aea26ab2ae5d5c7a2/t/5e9ff2b318019900d1886b46/1587540683979/89196144_3026739574032225_2739173280593215488_n.jpg Writing - Fact vs. Fiction: the Environmental Effects of 5G Dr. Elsharif while defending his Ph.D. research on 5G counter-hacking security measures . https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e2e585aea26ab2ae5d5c7a2/t/5e9fef55bc13e62e029a7b42/1587539840504/jack-sloop-eYwn81sPkJ8-unsplash.jpg Writing - Fact vs. Fiction: the Environmental Effects of 5G Photo by Jack Sloop on Unsplash https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e2e585aea26ab2ae5d5c7a2/t/5e9ff32a5ad8a748afa0605c/1587540782482/htc-5g-hub-0-1280x720-1.jpg Writing - Fact vs. Fiction: the Environmental Effects of 5G - Tech journalist Tim Childers wrote in a July 17 article for Live Science Magazine that while 5G will require many antennas spaced closely together, they require significantly less power and can be placed on top of buildings and light poles. These miniaturized base stations will also allow for hundreds more antennas to attach to each station, letting significantly more users connect to each one. Less energy, smaller size and more connectivity make these 5G base stations extremely efficient compared to their counterparts. https://www.drcampbell.org/writing/international-students monthly 0.5 2020-04-22 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e2e585aea26ab2ae5d5c7a2/t/5e9fd4a718019900d1853cf6/1587532986125/90873835_777955236061246_7079462832437198848_n.jpg Writing - Colorado State University International Students: from mountains of paperwork to the Rocky Mountains Naveen Kumar (left) and close friends after graduating from CSU, May 2019 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e2e585aea26ab2ae5d5c7a2/t/5e9fd2d625b79c6a3678144d/1587532550436/islamabadnec_featurephoto.jpg Writing - Colorado State University International Students: from mountains of paperwork to the Rocky Mountains U.S. Embassy in Islamabad, Pakistan https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e2e585aea26ab2ae5d5c7a2/t/5e9fd3b52082c8447eb8dc39/1587532764029/62387650_2398927903497330_2605393647847342080_n.jpg Writing - Colorado State University International Students: from mountains of paperwork to the Rocky Mountains Mike Sun after graduationg with his Masters degree from CSU https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e2e585aea26ab2ae5d5c7a2/t/5e9fd355a842fa7e6e611a9a/1587532645629/f1-visa-sample.jpg Writing - Colorado State University International Students: from mountains of paperwork to the Rocky Mountains Example of F1 VISA https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e2e585aea26ab2ae5d5c7a2/t/5e9fd4124007811382ef1fb4/1587532827202/ Writing - Colorado State University International Students: from mountains of paperwork to the Rocky Mountains Dr. Fateh El-Shariff (right) with his adviser, Dr. Edwin Chong, after defending his PhD thesis https://www.drcampbell.org/writing/ballistics-the-science-behind-the-attacks monthly 0.5 2020-04-28 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e2e585aea26ab2ae5d5c7a2/t/5ea7da9179dd71446efe391b/1588058897569/a5ea6d_24f32f97eaaf49f380d93cf59897a629_mv2.gif Writing - Ballistics: the science behind the attacks https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e2e585aea26ab2ae5d5c7a2/t/5ea7d6d979dd71446efdd373/1588057824387/The-308-Winchester-9-308ar.com_.jpg Writing - Ballistics: the science behind the attacks The dimensions of a .308 Winchester round.

While there are many different pistol calibers in existence, “service calibers” such as 9mm, .40 Smith and Wesson, and .45 ACP are some of the most common used by civilians, military and police alike. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e2e585aea26ab2ae5d5c7a2/t/5ea7d60979dd71446efdbe7e/1588057708958/DSC_0030+%281%29.jpg Writing - Ballistics: the science behind the attacks - Jacoby’s case is still open with the Windsor Police Department. This means the police report and photos of the crime scene are unavailable to the public. We headed to the location ourselves to do some surveying.
