I am a human geographer and political economist interested in how the economic geography of capitalism is made. Within that broad description, I have been particularly focused upon exploring how working people play active roles in shaping economic landscapes under capitalism and how, in turn, the physical and ideological form of the landscape can sometimes enable and sometimes constrain the possibilities for working people's actions – that is to say, I am interested in the ways in which working people make their own geographies but not under the conditions of their own choosing. It is this approach to understanding working people's spatiality – what I have termed "Labor Geography" – upon which I have focused much of my research for the past 25 years or so. My research has involved such diverse topics as: how US east coast dockers struggled to control the location of work once technological innovations like containerization began to affect their industry in the 1950s; how dockers also went about building new geographical scales of organizing in response to the growing national spatial integration of the cargo-handling industry; how autoworkers were able to bring General Motors's operations to a grinding halt in the late 1990s by striking at several strategic choke points in the corporation's structure; how Western unions went about working with unions in Central and Eastern Europe in the 1990s to help rebuild the labor movement there after the collapse of Communism; the role played by the US labor movement in fighting Communism in Latin America and the Caribbean, and what this meant for the subsequent globalization of US capital; and the challenges faced by precarious workers in industries such as cleaning and how they are fighting to resist the pressures being brought to bear upon them by neoliberal capitalism.
A second, though related, area of my scholarship has been on the topic of what has come to be termed "globalization." Globalization is many things – an economic process, a political process, a cultural process, and a historical process. But it is also a fundamentally geographical process, as different parts of the planet are connected together – and sometimes disconnected – in new and different ways than they were in the past. Importantly, this connecting of places geographically also plays out in a historically uneven manner. My main goal, then, has been to understand globalization as a historical-geographical process, both materially and also ideologically (i.e., how do we think about globalization and how do the ways in which we think about it shape what we believe is happening in the global economy and therefore what might be possible politically?). Within this broad goal I have been particularly interested in articulating how working people have played active roles in promoting globalization in some times and places and in resisting it in others, with both activities playing profound roles in shaping how the contemporary global economy functions. What I suggest is that the creation of new linkages between different places and the rescaling of contemporary economic, political, and social life (what we call "globalization") do not come about solely through the actions of collective capital but, rather, are the result of deeply contested processes, ones in which workers have played – and continue to play – fundamental roles. Recognizing this means that we can collectively imagine different futures for our planet and different versions of "globalization" (such as proletarian internationalization) rather than simply accepting a neoliberal version of what globalization is.
More recently, along with colleagues Al Rainnie (Flinders University, Adelaide), Susan McGrath-Champ (University of Sydney), and Graham Pickren (Roosevelt University), I have written on the topic of Global Production Networks (GPNs), especially on the role played by workers in shaping these networks' organizational (and thus spatial) structures. Extending our interest in how commodities are put together and how the contested labor process shapes the manner in which this occurs, we also have explored how they are taken apart in other types of networks – what we are calling Global Destruction Networks (GDNs) – as their constituent elements (like precious metals, plastics, and so forth) are extracted for possible re-use as inputs into new GPNs. As with our work on GPNs, so does our work on GDNs detail how workers' activities and the ways in which the labor process is organized shape these networks' structures. Through this work we have sought to insert a focus upon labor into the so-called "circular economy" literature.
Many of my publications can be found on line here: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Andrew_Herod/contributions
I would be interested in supervising graduate students with interests in any of these areas, as well as with interests in issues of labor and political economy more generally.
In terms of teaching, at the undergraduate level I regularly teach the "Human Geography: People, Places, and Cultures" (GEOG 1101) course. This focuses upon a number of topics, including: what it means to "think geographically"; critical perspectives on cartography as a mode of representing the world; demographic structure and change in various parts of the world and their connection to processes of economic development; and how 19th and 20th century imperialism have shaped patterns of global development in ways that still affect the lives of the planet's inhabitants today. I also teach the "Globalization and the Making of the Modern World" (GEOG 3620) course. This focuses upon three key issues: i) how do the ways in which we conceptualize globalization shape what we think is happening in the global economy (is the state becoming weaker in the face of global capital, for instance, or is it simply functioning in different ways than before?)?; ii) how did European and US imperialism in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries serve as a "first round" of globalization and with what effects?; iii) how are transnational corporations connecting the planet together in new and different ways as part of a "second round" of globalization? A third undergraduate class that I teach – though only on the UGA à Paris Study Abroad Program in Paris – is the cross-listed course "Paris and Modernity: Power, Politics, and Identity in the City" (GEOG/ INTL/ HIST 4634). This course focuses upon: France's rise as a global power (especially the creation of the first and second empires in the 18th and 19th centuries and the French government's efforts to present itself as a Muslim power during its 19th century conquest of North and West Africa); the rebuilding of Paris from the late 18th century to the early 20th century as Paris was reimagined as a grand capital city fit for an empire and home to the principles of modernist rationalism (this section of the class looks at how the city was physically redesigned and rebuilt to allow the ruling elites to exercise political power over Parisian society and how, in turn, this urban form was resisted); and, finally, what it means to "be French" today in the context of France being a multi-cultural society (thanks to its imperial legacy) and the growing efforts of the European Union to encourage people to abandon national identities and to create post-national ones – i.e., to get people to think of themselves not as French or German or Italian but as "European."
At the graduate level I regularly teach a variety of courses which all focus, in different ways, upon questions of political economy. These include: "Labor, Class and Politics" (INTL/GEOG 8355), which explores the nature of work, workers, and labor representation in advanced capitalist societies; and "Seminar in Economic Geography" (GEOG 8620), which focuses upon various topics concerning how we think about "the economic" as a field of investigation and how various economic actors (the state, global capital, labor) interact with one another to shape how the contemporary capitalist economy functions. I have also taught the "Seminar in Social Theory in Geography" (GEOG 8920), which I created in the mid-1990s and within which I have covered various topics (such as a seminar exploring debates around questions of globalization, a seminar on reading Capital, and a seminar looking at society-nature relations, amongst others). Finally, for over two decades I was responsible for the "Seminar in Geographic Thoughts and Methods" (GEOG 8910), which I taught as a philosophy of science/ history of geographic thought class and in which we explored questions concerning how the ways in which we think about the world epistemologically shapes how we understand it and can make claims about it through the practice of "science" (it was, in other words, a class in which we thought about how we think about the world and the various natural and social processes shaping it).
Lastly, since 2004 I have directed the UGA à Paris Study Abroad Program. This is a six-week program in which students can take 6 credit hours towards their undergraduate degrees whilst spending time in the city that Walter Benjamin called "the capital of the 19th century" and that Gertrude Stein claimed was "where the 20th century was." We also spend time in Normandy and Brittany and in the Loire Valley. We accept both UGA and non-UGA students.

Op-Ed: Al-Qaeda's sad army of lost souls
By Alexander Baron Oct 12, 2011 in World
Detroit - Al-Qaeda's terrorists including those who carried out 9/11 and 7/7 are men with evil and hatred in their hearts. Others are more like little boys who have lost their way.
Yesterday, October 12, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the so-called "Underpants Bomber" or "Underwear Bomber" changed his plea to guilty on the second day of his trial. This came as a surprise to his legal team, whom he had dismissed. A disciple of the recently executed Anwar al-Awlaki, Abdulmutallab had been in custody since Christmas Day 2009 when he was overpowered by passengers aboard Northwest Airlines Flight 253 from Amsterdam to Detroit as he tried to detonate a makeshift but sophisticated bomb in his underwear.
If this had happened twenty or thirty years ago, the very scenario would have given rise to all manner of black humour, but after 9/11 no one sees anything funny in these sort of incidents anymore.
Predictably, the lunatic fringe including Alex (if they kill me they'll make me a martyr) Jones have marked this down as yet another of the interminable false flags of the all-pervasive conspiracy that already controls the world yet wants to stage these attacks as a pretext for bringing in even more controls right down to microchips in the backs of our necks. It is clear though that Abdulmutallab is anything but a "false flag" and although not insane, he clearly inhabits a different world from the rest of us.
A detailed report on the first day of his trial by radio journalist Quinn Klinefelter can be found here. Abdulmutallab is the youngest son of Alhaji Umaru Abdul Mutallab, one of the wealthiest men in Africa; it was his father who first warned the authorities of his son's state of mind and indoctrination by Islamist fanatics. Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab will be sentenced in January, and can expect never to see daylight again.
In spite of his pronouncements not to mention the fact that he could have killed several hundred people, it is difficult not to feel sorry for Abdulmutallab. Although he was born into affluence, he has much in common with two similar failed Islamist terrorists: Abdul Raheem and Mohamed Abdulaziz Rashid Saeed-Alim. If these names sound unfamiliar, that is because they are seldom used. The man who signs his letters from prison Abdul Raheem is known universally as Richard Reid, and also as the Shoe Bomber.
The son of small time criminal and Jamaican immigrant Colvin Robin Reid, Richard was born in Bromley, South London, and didn't have much of a start in life, accumulating convictions for petty crime, and was well on his way to serving a life sentence on the instalment plan when on his release from prison in 1996 he joined Brixton Mosque. Having converted to Islam in prison, apparently for pragmatic reasons, he soon became a true believer in the perverted sham religion of Islamism.
Somehow, he found, or someone provided the money for him to move around Europe and the Middle East, including to Israel. Because he was half-black, rather than of Arab or similar stock, he appears to have had little or no trouble passing through national security.
Three months after 9/11, he boarded a plane from Paris to Miami where like the Underwear Bomber 8 years later, he attempted to set off an explosive device - in his shoes - and was overpowered by passengers.
During his trial in January 2003, Reid told the court "I'm a follower of Osama bin Laden. I'm an enemy of your country and I don't care."
In spite of this, it is difficult to interpret his unquestioned act of terrorism as anything but a half-hearted attempt to blow up the plane; unlike Abdulmutallab he may have wanted to get caught, albeit subconsciously. Reid is now confined in a notorious Super Max prison where he is destined to spend the rest of his days.
The third person on this list is an even more unlikely Islamist terrorist than Reid and Abdulmutallab. Mohamed Abdulaziz Rashid Saeed-Alim is the Islamic name of Nicky Reilly, a young white convert who was radicalised over the Internet. Standing an awkward 6 feet 3 inches tall, Reilly was a typically vulnerable person, the type who would be more likely to be fitted up for a crime he didn't commit - like Stefan Kiszko - rather than to commit any sort of violent act, although unlike Kiszko, he had a low IQ. In May 2008, he was planting a bomb in a Plymouth restaurant when it exploded prematurely, literally blowing up in his face. Fortunately, his lack of expertise resulted not only in no one else being hurt but in himself surviving. He was given a life sentence with a tariff of 18 years.
Three young men from vastly different backgrounds: a privileged Nigerian; a half-caste British petty criminal with a "trailer trash" type upbringing; and a vulnerable white half-wit who appears never to have met a true Moslem, but somehow fell into the clutches of evil men in cyberspace. All of them converts, all of them inadequates, including Abdulmutallab in spite of his privileged upbringing. Of the three, he had the ability to make something of his life, and to help others, including his fellow Moslems in a positive way. Like Reid, he had lived in London, studying at the prestigious University College London where he graduated in mechanical engineering of all things, a skill that is in short supply in all of black Africa; the people who taught him there spoke well of him, and he appears to have had the makings of a truly exceptional human being. So how did it all go so terribly wrong?
While they must all take responsibility for their actions, these three young men are in every sense victims of Al-Qaeda; the case of Abdulmutallab is particularly tragic for the aforementioned reasons. There are the dedicated preachers of hate, and the committed terrorists and suicide bombers like Mohamad Atta - the ringleader of 9/11 - and Mohammad Sidique Khan - the ringleader of the 7/7 cell - but the perverted ideology that is Al-Qaeda also preys on the weak and vulnerable. Richard Reid was a man whose life had amounted to nothing, and he sought and found something he thought would invest it with meaning. Nicky Reilly appears to have been cut from the same cloth, although he lived quietly with his mother and does not appear to have lost his way until he was enticed off the straight and narrow. And now, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab. And next?
This is the true nature of the beast that is Al-Qaeda, it is not some vast, megalithic conspiracy, but a grubby little conspiracy, a vicious ideology perpetuated by small-minded, vicious, ruthless and evil men who recruit the spiritually vulnerable to do their dirty work, the indiscriminate mass murder of innocent men, women and children. Fortunately, in these three cases there were no fatalities, except the wasted lives of the would-be perpetrators, but it is not the Shoe Bombers and Underwear Bombers of the world who are the real menace, rather the preachers of hate who indoctrinate them, and those who supply them with funds, equipment, and technical know-how so that they may execute the plans of their puppet masters.

Controlling the properties of graphene transistors with pressure
An international team of researchers claims to have developed a technique to manipulate the electrical conductivity of graphene with compression, bringing the material closer to being a viable semiconductor for use in electronic devices.
"Graphene is the best electrical conductor that we know of on Earth," said Matthew Yankowitz, a postdoctoral research scientist in Columbia University's physics department. "The problem is that it's too good at conducting electricity, and we don't know how to stop it effectively.
"Our work establishes for the first time a route to realising a technologically relevant band gap in graphene without compromising its quality. Additionally, if applied to other interesting combinations of 2D materials, the technique we used may lead to new emergent phenomena, such as magnetism, superconductivity, and more."
Turning off the transmission of electrons through graphene without altering or sacrificing its favourable qualities has proven unsuccessful to date.
One superstructure does show promise, however. When graphene is sandwiched between layers of boron nitride (BN), an atomically-thin electrical insulator, and the two materials are rotationally aligned, the BN has been shown to modify the electronic structure of the graphene, creating a band gap that allows the material to behave as a semiconductor. The band gap created by this layering alone, however, is not large enough to be useful in the operation of electrical transistor devices at room temperature.
To enhance this band gap, Yankowitz, and his colleagues at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, the University of Seoul in Korea, and the National University of Singapore, compressed the layers of the BN-graphene structure and found that applying pressure substantially increased the size of the band gap, more effectively blocking the flow of electricity through the graphene.
"As we squeeze and apply pressure, the band gap grows," explained Yankowitz. "It's still not a big enough gap – a strong enough switch – to be used in transistor devices at room temperature, but we have gained a fundamentally better understanding of why this band gap exists in the first place, how it can be tuned, and how we may target it in the future. Transistors are ubiquitous in our modern electronic devices, so if we can find a way to use graphene as a transistor it would have widespread applications."
Yankowitz added that scientists have been conducting experiments at high pressures in conventional three-dimensional materials for years, but no one had yet figured out a way to do them with 2D materials. Now, researchers will be able to test how applying various degrees of pressure changes the properties of a vast range of combinations of stacked 2D materials.
"Any emergent property that results from the combination of 2D materials should grow stronger as the materials are compressed," Yankowitz said. "We can take any of these arbitrary structures now and squeeze them and the strength of the resulting effect is tuneable. We've added a new experimental tool to the toolbox we use to manipulate 2D materials and that tool opens boundless possibilities for creating devices with designer properties."

We woke up in Keokuk which is on the most south-eastern tip of Iowa. We chose this location because it was in the vague direction we needed to go the next day and we were hoping we may be in line to get hit by the storms approaching from our south-west overnight. However, as it turned out their trajectory was slightly north of us.
After waking up and looking at the models, we were quite excited about the setup. There was a slight risk zone covering much of Kansas and Nebraska . There were 2 ways to play the day. We could either aim for the warm front that was draped over Nebraska. The northward advancement of this warm and humid airmass would result in it being lifted over the cooler air already in place and should trigger thunderstorms. The alternative was to head to the triple point which is an intersection point between fronts. In this instance it was the intersection between the warm front already mentioned and a north-south orientated dryline. The dryline is the boundary between the warm moist air to the east and the drier desert to the west. Due to the greatest buoyancy of moist air, as the dryline moves east which it tends to do in this areas in the spring, the dry air undercuts the warmer moist air, promoting lift and again, thunderstorms are likely along the line. This is the set up we decided to play for.
However this was to our east across the entire state of Iowa and into Kansas. How far into Kansas we needed to be would become clearer nearer the time as we tried to find the exact position of the triple point. Tim guessed this was a good 3hr 15mins away, whereas I felt I underestimated slightly with my guess of 2hr 45mins. How stupid of us. We should really be a bit better at distance forecasting by now. It was over 6 hours away. We picked a route and headed that way at a fair pace. The state troopers are pretty hot on pulling people over however, so some sly driving was needed.
Our choice of roads could have been better. We chose the most direct route to our destination as you would expect. However, we also realised today that even though the interstates may cover more miles they are so much faster. No 25mph restrictions in little towns, less obstructions, less getting stuck behind lorries etc. Another lesson learnt. Anyway, as we were on the I70, the last part of our journey we saw the most amazing cell firing up directly in front of us about 80 miles away. Depressingly our chaser friends that had chosen the interstate all way were already right underneath it watching it explode in the sky. Not only were our chaser mates there, but every single storm chaser we recognised by name and about another 50 we didn't. The chaser convergence was the greatest we'd ever seen; maybe POETS day had something to do with it!
We were soon under the canopy of the storm and soon certain features became clearer. There were apparent lowerings and some strong areas of inflow. The storm was now tornado warned and one chaser had already reported a tornado on the ground. We pulled off the interstate at a place called Russell and dove south to get a better view of the storm.
As it neared to our exact location, we headed a bit further south and pulled in across the other side of the road and got more piccies.
We could see areas of rotation in the lower parts of the storm and the rain bands appeared to be swirling and dancing around. We prayed that it would put down a tornado, but apart from some beautiful lightning and structure, it had seemed to reach its peak and the base was now much higher. There were a few other cells in the area, so we left this one and concentrated on the next. All of these storms were moving incredibly slowly - only 10 mph which is very unusual but most welcomed as it allows time for refinement of position and getting cameras and tripods set up etc.
The lightning from the next cell was prolific and both me and Tim set up in a field and photographed lightning for about 20mins.
Some of the strikes were close, but the storm was still about 5 miles away so we were out of the way of any rain and hail. In fact, we hadn't been rained or hailed on at all from these cells. Again, very unusual but it makes things so much easier!
We then decided to get in a bit closer and found a little farm track which was paved. Many of the smaller tracks are just dirt roads and our insurance restricts us from driving on unpaved roads which is a shame as they are often the quietest yield the best photo opportunities. The second cell was slowly drifting north-east away from us, but behind it we could see a third cell approaching, about 4 miles to our west. The cell appeared to have a strongly rotating wall cloud which is a great sign as these often signify the cell may become tornadic.
We both stood there, pleading and jumping around. If there was going to be a tornado, this was the moment it would happen. I danced round in circles in the hope the storm would follow my lead. That didn't work. So I decided to make a ciggy thinking just as I'm about to smoke it, the tornado might arrive; it works with buses?!
Then a slight point formed from the bottom of the wall cloud. It grew longer and seemed to be stretching towards the ground. We were screaming, 'come on!' Then touchdown! The whole process appeared to be in slow motions. It was only on the ground for about 10 seconds before it lifted! It then started to rope out in the most extraordinary way. At one point it appeared detached from the cloud base itself but was still drilling away in the distance. We managed to whittle down a few hundred photos to the below!
Accompanying this extraordinary scene were very strong winds but again, no rain. There was also no panicky situations of having to grab the camera stuff and get out of there quick smart as the storm dangerously approached. The movement of the storm north-east meant our position was perfect to just sit there and watch it move past. The whole experience was eerily beautiful and very peaceful!
As the lightning became more frequent we headed south a little, but not without getting a couple more photos of our tornado producing cell in the sunset.
We then headed for the next tornado warned cell behind it. This looked like the last in the line of 4 and according to storm spotters had also put down a rather large cone tornado. However, by this time it was very dark and a late night chase in the dark with potential tornadoes isn't our cup of tea really, so we opted to sit on the roadside and get some shots of the monster storm as it passed over. Again the structure was beautiful and the many parts of the storm were clear to see as it let itself up.
This particular cell actually put down 2 more tornadoes after dark, one of which caused a bit of damage in the area, but luckily no one was hurt. Some chasers stay out to report on and track these tornadoes after dark. We decided however to head to a mote. We drove for about an hour and settled for a motel called The Log Cabin about an hour away in a place called Salina, KS. We showered, cracked open a beer and spent the next few hours ogling over our photos. I couldn't sleep until gone 3am from being so wired! In fact I still can't believe what happened and it was definitely the best chase to date.

Peter John McConnell (born 11 November 1944) is a retired Australian Test cricket match umpire, from Western Australia.

He umpired 22 Test matches between 1983 and 1992.  His first match was between Australia and Pakistan at Perth on 11 November to 14 November 1983, won by Australia by an innings and 9 runs, with Wayne Phillips scoring a century on debut, Graham Yallop also scoring a century and Carl Rackemann taking 11 wickets. McConnell's partner was Mel Johnson.

McConnell's last Test match was between Australia and India at Adelaide on 25 January to 29 January 1992, won by Australia by 38 runs  with second innings centuries to David Boon and Mark Taylor after a first innings of only 145, and two 5-wicket bags by Craig McDermott. McConnell's colleague was Darrell Hair.

During the 1990-91 England tour England spinner Phil Tufnell writes in his biography that McConnell replied "Count them yerself, yer Pommy bastard" when he asked how many balls were left in his over.

McConnell umpired 68 One Day International (ODI) matches between 1983 and 1992.  He umpired two women's Test matches, in 1977 and 1984.  Altogether, he umpired 82 first-class matches in his career between 1977 and 1992 the Test match noted above being his last.

We have discussed mold and the various methods of cleaning and removal on this website, however, in many instances; the smell of mold will linger in the air, even after cleaning and removing.
Mold consists of living and multiplying spores, that will continue to grow until they are removed and the warmth, dampness and in most cases, darkness are eliminated from the environment. When the atmosphere is consistently wet, damp, warm, and shaded or dark, the possibility of mold growth is possible and probable. The more moisture in the air, as well as the lack of sunlight, will cause mold to occur, and unless cleaned, dried, and opened to sunlight, mold will re-occur and cause negative issues.
One of the most aggravating characteristics with mold growth is the "moldy smell ", that is attributable to mold growth. Summer cottages, closets, as well as damp basements are all favorite places for mold growth and the resultant smell. We have all smelled this odor, and in many instances, the simple procedure of mold removal, will not eliminate the moldy odor permeating the environment.
It is the presence of microscopic particles, suspended within the environment, attached to dust particles or floating in the air, that we breathe in and therefore smell. The removal of these particles from the air is the only way to eliminate the odor.
Be careful not to confuse the masking over of the smell with deodorants, candles or other aerosol type deodorizers, which merely overwhelms the actual smell that you are trying to eliminate. This type of solution does not eliminate the micro toxins that cause the smell within the atmosphere; they merely overwhelm, or mask over it for the time being.
What is the best method for eliminating the removal of these particles causing the smell in the environment? The use of activated charcoal is recommended. Activated charcoal is a fine black powder created with bamboo, bone char, coconut shells, peat, petroleum coke, goal, olive pits or sawdust.
Whether this activated charcoal is an actual filter that is fitted within mechanical air handlers or forced air fans, or consists of simple bags of activated charcoal, it will start to absorb the small particles in the air that are causing the smell.
Activated charcoal is created by exposing charcoal to very high temperatures. These high temperatures change the internal structure of the charcoal by reducing the size of the pores and increasing the surface area. This reduction of pore size, together with the increase in surface area, results in a very efficient filtering medium that will remove, even the smallest particles from the air. This is the reason that the use of activated charcoal will remove the particles that cause the smell of mold within the air.
In addition to the size of the pores as well as the increased surface area, the activated charcoal carries a negative charge, which naturally attracts positively charged toxins and particles within the air, thereby trapping these particles within the actual matrix of the activated charcoal. Therefore, activated charcoal is both mechanically capable of trapping the small particles, as well as electrically charged to attract these small particles.
Activated charcoal filters are also used to remove the sulfur and other smells from a water supply, due to their ability to trap the very small particles within the water that are causing the smell.
The easiest method for the homeowner to use activated charcoal is to purchase individually sealed bags of the material, and position them within closets, under sinks and in all areas that have been promoting smells, or have been creating a moldy environment. These bags of activated charcoal will eventually filter out the smelly particles from the air, and the environment will smell both clean and fresh.
Another extremely beneficial characteristic of the use of activated charcoal is that it can be cleansed by placing the bags or the filters in the sunlight, or just simply outside. The UV rays generated from the sun will cleanse the activated charcoal and re-energize the filtering characteristics.
Professionals have been using activated charcoal as a medium to trap small particles in industrial, chemical and medical applications for many years. The homeowner should research the use of this material, and utilize its characteristics to clean the air and re-fresh your interior environment.
