Gaga’s Born Brave Bus sheds light on mental health issues teens face

× Gaga's Born Brave Bus sheds light on mental health issues teens face

bornbraveBy Hana Kim and Kate Burgess

Q13 FOX News reporters

TACOMA — Tacoma pop superstar Lady Gaga came to Tacoma. And she brought more than her music.

The singer is tackling the topic of bullying on her "Born This Way Ball" world tour that kicked off in Tacoma Monday night. Along with her music, a Born Brave Bus accompanying the tour featured an interactive display with games, arts and crafts  intended to de-stigmatize mental health problems many young adults face.

The idea for this Born Brave Bus tour stems from Gaga's Born this Way Foundation, a nonprofit organization meant to foster an "accepting" society, representatives with Gaga said.

Young adults can use the tour, and the touring bus, as a way to learn more about local resources on anti-bullying, suicide prevention and mental health services in the area.

A ticket was required to see Lady Gaga perform but you didn't need one to benefit from her foundation.

"She has a really amazing message," said fan Elizabeth Rutledge.

The singer known for her unconventional style and lyrics is now reaching youngsters beyond her  music.

Through her foundation, the pop singer provided a team of counselors and psychologists to speak with youngsters at her concert sites about emotional empowerment.

"We've had a couple of private conversations with the kids and gave them resources; I think it's going to make a difference," said school psychologist Hayley Thompson.

Rutledge, 15, is one of those teens who opened up about bullying in her school.

"It's a huge problem and it's not dealt with. I've experienced it at multiple schools," said Rutledge.

Rutledge says counselors lifted her spirits and helped identify her strengths. Parents who initially came along for the music left with a better understanding of their children.

"It's tough, it's a different world than when we were kids there are more pressures," said parent Patrick Rutledge.

Fans say Lady Gaga is more than music to them; she represents courage to be themselves.

"If you want change, change begins with you," Lady Gaga said in a brief statement to fans before the concert.

For those who got to hear that voice up close, the experience was surreal.

"I said I loved her and she said, 'Thank you so much.' She said I looked fabulous, which I don't, but I really appreciated it so much," said fan Clayton Knott.

The singer's foundation says 1 in 5 young people experiences a mental health issue their goal is to connect kids with local resources that will help them combat things like depression and bullying. The interactive event included lasted from 3 to 7 pm.

Susan Swearer, chair of the Born This Way Foundation's Research Advisory Board, said one-in-five young people experience some type of mental health issue during adolescence. Swearer hopes the bus helps reach kids struggling with mental health problems.

"Being Brave is recognizing your strengths," Swearer said. "It's about recognizing your limitations or things that you need to work on, knowing where to get help, helping others, bravery really encompasses not only your own self development, but being brave in terms of helping others who may need some support."

Omar Lopez drove hours from Eastern Washington to make it to the concert. He said Gaga's acceptance, and drive to help others, is part of what makes her a great pop star.

"That's why I'm a big fan of hers," Lopez said. "You're born this way. This is who you are. So why not be who you are?"

Organizations like the Trevor Project, Campus Pride and the National Association of School Psychologists are taking party in the event. For a list of where to find mental health services in Tacoma and the rest of the Puget Sound, head here.

SP3H Announces a €2.5 Million Round of Financing with Truffle Capital

PARIS & AIX-EN-PROVENCE, France--()--SP3H (a leading company in the field of fuel profiling [1]), today announced that it had raised €2.5 million. This round of financing was initiated by Truffle Capital, SP3H's longstanding institutional investor. SP3H also announced the consolidation of its Board of Directors, with the arrival of Peter Ward, Michel Eschalier and Jérôme Gallot.

The funds raised will be used to (i) finance the initial tests of a vehicle-embedded industrial sensor, (ii) initiate the marketing of the first systems for garages and car dealers and (iii) structure strategic industrial alliances (particularly in refining, petrochemicals and aeronautics sectors).

SP3H has developed miniaturized optical sensors for fluid analysis (including on-board fluids, such as fuel), which may have particular value in view of the coming EURO VI and EURO VI.2 standards. This type of technology can reduce internal combustion engines' CO2 emissions and fuel consumption while improving reliability.

Peter Ward (aged 69) has spent much of his international career leading international companies in the automotive and engineering sectors (notably Rolls-Royce Bentley, Jardines Motors, and Raymarine) in London, Hong Kong and New York. For ten years, he devoted himself to the development of clean-tech start-ups in the wind power industry and in sectors covering automobile assembly, instrumentation and electric motors. He was appointed as non-executive Chairman of the SP3H board on March 4, 2014.

First as an engineer and then as an executive, Michel Eschalier (aged 68) has primarily worked in the diesel engine industry in France and worldwide (Perkins, Lucas Varity, and Delphi Europe). He currently teaches management at the training institute run by IFP Energies Nouvelles (formerly the French Petroleum Institute) and acts as a business angel through the Réseau Entreprendre association.

As a lawyer and a graduate of the Institut d'études politiques and the Ecole Nationale d'Administration, Jérôme Gallot (aged 55) has worked for 25 years as a senior manager in industry, international trade, and corporate finance (at CDC Entreprises and Fonds Stratégique d'Investissement). Between 2011 and 2013, he was CEO of Veolia Transdev. Jérôme Gallot works as a consultant in corporate governance, competition law and management, and is a board member with several companies.

Key figures: rounds of financing carried out by SP3H since its incorporation:

  • €1.5 million between 2007 and 2009 (private investors)
  • €2.5 million in January 2010 (Truffle Capital)
  • €2.2 million in May 2012 (Truffle Capital and private investors)

    After the Honolulu Museum of Art issued a lawsuit last month to collector Joel Alexander Greene for failing to provide the provenance of five works he had donated to their collection, Greene has now decided to countersue the museum, reports Hannah Ghorashi at Artnews. Greene is suing for breach of contract and damages, claiming his name has been unfairly tarnished and that in his previous dealings with the museum there had been "no question as to the title of the pieces." The breach of contract he claims can be located in the fact that the museum cancelled his charitable gift annuity, an agreement he had with the museum since 2004.

    The Italian curator Lorenzo Benedetti, who has served as director and curator at Amsterdam's De Appel for just fifteen months, has been abruptly fired by the center's board according to Lorena Muñoz-Alonso at Artnet. De Appel's CEO Alexandra van Huffelen told the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant that regarding the institution's decision "[Benedetti's] exhibition program was good, but De Appel has missed a leader in other respects: someone who inspires internally and externally and conveys a vision of the future." In a more defensive tone, she also added: "to outsiders it might seem like a fast action to put Benedetti out of commission right now, but behind the scenes there have been problems for the past six months."

    Benedetti's programming was embraced by the Dutch art community for his exhibitions of artists such as Melanie Gilligan, Michael Dean, and Michael E. Smith.

    Maurice Tuchman, A Report on the Art and Technology Program of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, 1971

    The Getty Research Institute is acquiring the archive of curator Maurice Tuchman. The first full-time curator of modern art at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Tuchman served from 1964 to 1994.

Rare artist publications such as Ilya Kabakov's Red Wagon and the 1970s New York artists' magazine Avalanche are also included in the archive.

    An email missive by financier Ronald O. Perelman—who recently became chairman of the hall's board of trustees at Carnegie Hall—has been sent to other board members accusing the venue's executive director of improprieties.

    According to Gregory Zuckerman and Jennifer Smith for the Wall Street Journal, Perelman's letter, which expresses concern over "related-party transactions," also brings up "a troubling lack of transparency and openness in the way Clive Gillinson was interacting with me and the board."

    "My concerns initially arose because of an inability to obtain a full picture of Carnegie Hall's financial operations, especially as it related to profits and losses involving performances," Perelman wrote. "I was told that such financial information was never shared with the board or even the chairman."

    Perelman continued by saying that this policy fell short of criteria of the New York State Nonprofit Revitalization Act, which mandates that board members take an active oversight role over staff action.

    The letter "serves notice that he may be prepared to bring the bare-knuckle tactics of a corporate raider into the genteel precinct of one of America's most august cultural institutions. Such disputes generally are handled discreetly and kept out of public view, much as they usually are at orchestras, museums and other art organizations," write Zuckerman and Smith, who also note that Perelman's history of litigating includes suits brought against investment bank Morgan Stanley and art dealer Larry Gagosian.

    Clive Gillinson, who is Carnegie Hall's executive and artistic director, has said "In serving Carnegie Hall for ten years, I am very proud of everything we have achieved together. I love the hall and everything it stands for, and will continue to give it my all."

    Another member of the board, pianist Emanuel Ax, said the letter was the first time he'd heard about troubles with Gillinson. "My contact with Clive has always been fantastic," he said. "He's a great guy. As far as I could tell, he was running everything wonderfully."
