Utah Governor’s Energy Task Force Report – UTC

On Thursday I attended my 2nd UTC Clean Tech roundtable event.  Well worth my commute, the meeting focused on Ted Wilson’s update and discussion regarding the almost complete Ten-Year Utah Energy Initiative plan.  Ted covered some of the very tough issues facing a conservative state meeting up with the realities of sustainability and the balance between People, Planet, and Profits.

Energy & the Environment, Consumer Interests, Science & Technology, Transmission & Transportation, & Jobs are all components of the plan. That’s encouraging. All forms of energy are on the table, which is part of the challenge. Coal mining communities are keen on keeping jobs while renewable energy elbows its way into the room. The challenge is to balance the interest of both.

New energy projects in geothermal, wind, solar, CNG, and coal carbon capture & sequestration are all very exciting to me. As I discussed with the group, education and communication of the individual and collective benefits of transitions to more sustainable solutions is key to moving Utah to a better place. By the numbers, the 6c/kW hr for coal is tough to beat, but issues of air pollution threaten health and quality of life.

A very valuable topic of discussion surrounded the concept of energy “efficiency”, how to use less or transition to energy saving technology, transportation, and building practices.

I can’t help but contrast this with my meeting last week with a Ukranian Energy Delegation seeking counsel on communicating energy conservation and new renewable energy initiatives.  Ukraine faces serious natural gas shortages and is totally dependent on a Russian monopoly utility for that resource. Every year since the breakup of the Soviet Union, the nation has faced this problem going into winter. Buildings are under insulated, built to lax central planning standards dating back to the 1950’s. This is an nation open to change because they feel the pain of high energy costs and lack of control over supply.

In Utah, we have little pain with comparatively cheap gasoline, cheap CNG, wide highways, cheap water, and abundant supply. Our energy costs per kW Hr are a fraction of those in Ukraine and similar countries. So, what’s to motivate us to change, to improve our carbon footprint, our degrading air quality, our reckless use of finite resources?

This week’s UTC meeting touched on it, but the numbers make sense. There is profit and new jobs all over these new energy opportunities abundant in our state. There is a path to lower asthma rates among children and the elderly. There is the hope for clean-coal technology that works and scales. There is the abundant bridge of CNG to help us along the path.

Now our job must be to educate, educate, educate. Status quo is not sustainable. We want to entice new business move-ins  (like cleantech upstart ElectraTherm) , tourism , and raise quality of life rather than waiting until our American Lung Association black list position falls further.

Public comment period opens Oct 15 and the finished plan goes to the Governor on Nov 22.

EVERYONE believes this money lie

“In order to be rich, you have to live below your means.” – said by EVERYONE including your parents, your teachers, your church, television, radio, the internet, etc.
Everyone knows the above statement is true. Except…
It is a complete LIE!
One of the most challenging things about this lie is how ingrained it is in society.
If you weren’t lucky enough to have a rich dad to teach you about money, then lies like this probably make up your ideas and attitudes toward money. Most people believe they must be true because they’ve heard them all their life.
“In order to be rich, you have to live below your means” is a lie. It’s a dangerous lie because it kills your spirit.
On the surface, “Live below you means,” seems to make sense, but the only people who live below their means are poor people.
The rich don’t live below their means. Rather, they make more and better means.
My poor dad would always say, “We can’t afford that.”
My rich dad said, “Rather than live below my means, I’ll make more money to get what I want.
Rather than say, ‘I can’t afford that,’ I ask, ‘How can I afford that?’”
“Live below your means,” is a poor mindset because it teaches you to think too narrowly. It shrinks your own view of yourself into a victim.
Rather than teach you to be creative in making more money, it teaches you to lazy and pathetic and just accept your situation. It does not push you to be better.
When I want to splurge on something, I don’t look at where to cut costs to afford it, I go buy or build an asset to offset the cost of what I want.
So, instead of always looking for what expense I can cut to afford something, I’m always looking to expand my wealth to cover the cost of what I want.
It’s a completely different mindset, and it’s the way my rich dad taught me to think.
For instance, some years ago I wanted to get my dream car. I could have paid cash for the car, or I could have decided to eat out less…
Instead, I invested in assets that would provide enough cash flow to cover the monthly cost of my new toy.
It took a little longer, but six months later my investments were creating enough cash flow to pay for my car—and some. In the process, I got my dream car and also built my wealth by buying a money-making asset.
This is the core of thinking like rich dad instead of poor dad. Think like an investor or an entrepreneur. Identify what you want and work out a plan to get there in a smart way through assets.
If you “live within your means”, you can never add assets, so you’ll never break the chain of cutting costs and budgeting to afford something. Eventually you means will run out and you be left with very little or nothing.
If you want to think like rich dad instead of poor dad, begin asking, “How can I afford that?” rather than saying, “I can’t afford that.”
In the process, you’ll go from a poor mindset to a rich one—and you’ll also break out of the pattern set by a lifetime of being told, “Live Below Your Means.”
Don’t let money kill your spirit,
Robert Kiyosaki

Little Things

While we were on a trip in Israel, we stopover for lunch in a restaurant overlooking the Sea of Galilee. Even though it is named the Sea of Galilee, it is actually a lake and not a sea.

Besides enjoying the view, I enjoyed the food there as well. The most popular in their menu being beside the Sea of Galilee is fish of course. And that was what I ordered.

After the meal I saw this sign on a wall.

That is absolutely correct. Be thankful for even the small stuffs in this life. Like a good meal. Or a beautiful day. Or a smile from a stranger. Appreciate the little things. Nothing wrong with this reminder, right?

Except that we must be careful on what we call  as “little things” as it could be a slight jab or even a downright insult. Depends on the situation, I guess. You don’t believe me?

Well, here’s the whole story of this sign.

(*Photos taken at a restaurant in Tiberias, Israel)

Perhaps the ear aches because I am tired of hearing stupid people, stupid media, stupid social media, stupid celebrities, stupid athletes, etc.

Perhaps it’s just because I need to see an ear doctor because my right ear hurts when I chew.

Perhaps I’ll use a hammer and an awl to fix the problem once and for all.

Or, go to a doctor.

Kinda of irritating though.

What do you consider a lie?

Is consciously leaving out information or details lying? If you only get part of the info, is it really the truth?

If someone repeatedly, or maybe habitually, omits info can you trust them? When do you draw the line?

This is a tricky topic because we all do it to some degree. Sometimes it is not on purpose, but other times it is an outright choice.

I guess the question really comes down to: Are you prepared to stand your ground when you know you are being deceived on purpose or do you just let it slide?

Cuts so deep

Tip of the iceberg. Tip of the finger.

One you can see, the other I am afraid to look at.

Intense throbbing after a mishap with a knife. Man they’re sharp. Look at your middle finger, imagine a line about mid fingernail, and then think cut across the line…it didn’t go all the way through. Luckily the nail stopped it to some degree. (sorry if it grosses you out)

Stupid carrot sticks. Healthy eating just isn’t worth this kind of pain.

Does it need stitches? Probably. Will I get them? Probably not.

Rub some dirt in it and put on some duct tape, right? Isn’t that the cure for injuries like this?

I’m gonna stop now, It hurts to type. And BandAids don’t make for easy typing either.

Sgt Reckless – Korean War Horse Hero

A Horse Named Reckless. Incredible !!! Great story about a Korean war hero.

This is a pretty good video/story. Pass it on. Reckless was a pack horse during the Korean war, and she carried re-coilless rifles, ammunition and supplies to Marines. Nothing too unusual about that, lots of animals got pressed into doing pack chores in many wars. But this horse did something more..during the battle for a location called Outpost Vegas, this mare made 50 trips up and down the hill, on the way up she carried ammunition, and on the way down she carried wounded soldiers. What was so amazing? Well she made every one of those trips without anyone leading her. I can imagine a horse carrying a wounded soldier, being smacked on the rump at the top of the hill, and heading back to the “safety” of the rear. But to imagine the same horse, loaded with ammunition, and trudging back to the battle where artillery is going off, without anyone leading her is unbelievable. To know that she would make 50 of those trip is unheard of. Hell, how many horses would even make it back to the barn once, let alone return to you in the field one single time. So here is a clip of her story and photos to prove where she was and what she did…

( 40 yaşında 1.99 m boyunda )

Doğum Adı: Charles Halford Tarihi: 28/02/1980 Yeri: Salt Lake City, Utah, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri

Kısa Biyografi

Charles Halford was born on February 28, 1980 in Salt Lake City, Utah. He is an actor, known for True Detective (2014), Constantine (2014), and Logan Lucky (2017), as a voice actor he is known for The Death and Return of Superman (2019), Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure (2017), and Rise of the Tomb Raider (2015). He moved to Los Angeles in 2008.Early in his career, for five summers, Charles was invited by The Sundance Institute to participate in the Directors Lab, as an actor, to play and perform for the carefully selected directing "fellows" workshop and refine their individual visions while exploring and experimenting with cinematic storytelling. Halford cites this experience as intensely influential to his development as an artist, craftsman, and professional actor, as "(Sundance Institute) was a great privilege for me, as a local actor in Utah; on that mountain, every summer, with those amazing artists and professionals, wonderful, fascinating people - that had a profound impression on me. It is a most cherished, entirely unique, and invaluable experience to have had." He also forged valuable working relationships through the "labs," one of which would culminate in his being entrusted to portray Reggie Ledoux, the "black stars" boogeyman of the first season of HBO's award-winning series, True Detective, by directing lab fellow Cary Joji Fukunaga. This "big-little part," and Halford's unsettling portrayal would establish him as a bold and noteworthy character actor in this, "The Golden Age of Television." Charles was subsequently cast as a series regular on network television, in the straight role, the right-hand-man-and-muscle to the title character of NBC's Constantine, a short-lived but well-received adaptation of the cult-classic DC/Vertigo comic "John Constantine, Hellblazer." He has also brought to life, and very often died for, pivotal and dynamic characters within some of the most buzzed-about, beloved, iconic, and noteworthy shows of the 21st century such as NBC's Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (1999), Sundance/AMC's critically-acclaimed original series Rectify (2013), and AMC's behemoth The Walking Dead (2010).

Vehicle Cost Per Mile/Kilometer

2 years agoopen0

To help further the goal of making this the most realistic police simulator vehicle fuel costs should either be associated with the vehicle purchasing cost, or the Police AI should refuel the vehicle and bill the city budget. I would be happy with either of these options as it would help immerse the player by making them leave room in the budget for fuel expenses.

What should Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery display with its £300,000?

This weekend I learned that BMAG is aiming to find a whole bunch of new visitors to its many attractions. Today Jon Bounds asks what new stuff will get people involved?

Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery have just come into some money, £300,000, and they’re going to use it to create a gallery showing Birmingham’s history from medieval times to the present day. I’m sure we used to have something a bit like this (a local history room anyway).

But anyway — apart from getting some of the industrial history stuff back from Thinktank, digging out the system that did push-button playback of “I can’t find old Brummagem” and providing some of the Library’s Baskerville collection — with a decent home what should it have?

Here’s some suggestions:

Dennis Mortimer’s beard from when villa won the European cup.
Every plan and architects model for a regenerated Brum, all google-earthed up and you can rum simulations of how the city would have looked if they’d come to pass.
An interactive exhibit that allows you to do the voice over for Telly Savalas looks at Birmingham – a bit like Singstar where you have to match the pitch, speed and not laugh when you claim to have “dallied in Dale End”.
Dana International – well she’s not doing anything at the moment.

    Jon says we need to “Fill Brum’s new local history museum with proper stuff:” I’m thinking he means less highbrow more pattern shaved eyebrow. Jon has a talent for this, but I’m going to have a crack….:

    A blue Goldfish in a toilet bowl.
    A multi coloured flying saucer a la ELO.
    Any Osbournes who aren’t that busy just at the mo.
    A selection of skirts warn on Broad Street from 1308 to 2008.
    Carl’s chin.
    My mates son Archie – cos he has a perfectly preserved Brummie accent.
    Camp Hill Flyover.

    1. Jon Bounds says:

      There is a serious point here, just. It’s a fine line that has to be trod between the kind of interactive, but childish, exhibits seen at Thinktank – and the dry exhibition of artifacts.

      A local museum has a perfect opportunity to create an experience that not only engages people, but draws on the experience of its potential visitors about the subject.

      What price a sort of “wiki-museum” where the public could pop in and add/correct information, drop off artifacts that that they think contribute the story? My best times at the old local history museum/science museum were when my old granddad would tell me more (give the human side) of some of the things there. Imagine that for / by / to everyone.

    2. Nick Booth says:

      Every artefact or textual fact obviously has a human connection. Almost every fact can look different from many different perspectives. Individual experts can hint at this but have insufficient experience to bring it out fully. It takes a whole community to tell history and crowd sourcing these stories is a great aproach.

      The Back to Backs are what I consider one enormous social object. Every tour of those buildings is different because the story your hear depends on the company your keep. There is always someone granddad/mother/great aunt who lived that life and can share their experiences.

      Thats what we need – Museums full of social objects and the means for people to record their experience of them/story related to them. A folksonomy built on a taxonomy?

    3. Jon Bounds says:

      “A folksonomy built on a taxonomy?”

      Great phrase. I’m trying to think of something even more radical too, a way for visitors to collectively curate a collection – not quite got there yet, but it’s something to think about.

      Now if someone would just give me £300,000 to do it 😉

    4. Nick Booth says:

      It’s what my brummie(ish) son says when he’s going away. Tara-a-bit for the noughties. Can we declare this a first usage on the interwebs? Hello Oxford English Dictionary. Date stamp as per blog post!

    5. James Yarker says:

      Tangetal: I revisited my roots in the West Country the other weekend and was pleased to see a T-shirt which read “Gert Lush” being proudly worn. Local vernacular as fashion item? It could catch on.

    6. Jon Bounds says:

      >Local vernacular as fashion item?

      Well Donarto seems to do okay with his “Bostin” shirts f’the Black Country, but I’m not sure the Brum dialect has anything as juicy.

Recipe: Tomatillo Sauce

Recipe: Tomatillo Sauce

green Tomatillo Sauce recipe

This is my last cooking project from the garden this year. It is the first time we grew tomatillos. I initially wanted them for our Tomatillo Soup. However, with an end of season bumper crop I had to do something additional with them, so I made this Tomatillo Sauce, which I found in the Moosewood Restaurant Favorites cookbook shown below.
I used this sauce instead of the Trader Joe’s Salsa Verde in my Salsa Verde Tilapia Enchiladas, and it was delicious, although I should have made it spicier. I made five batches of this mixed together with one hot pepper and four not so hot ones; next time I need to be braver and use more really hot peppers, since this was so mild. I froze batches of the right amount for this recipe in zip-locks to enjoy in these enchiladas throughout the winter.

Green Tomatillo Sauce

1 pound (or 3 cups coarsely chopped) peeled, fresh tomatillos
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup finely chopped onions
1 garlic clove, minced
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 minced fresh hot pepper
2 teaspoons ground coriander seeds
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin seeds
1 teaspoon of sugar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Preheat oven to 425˚F.

In a mixing bowl toss together the chopped tomatillos, oil, onions, garlic, salt, hot peppers, coriander and cumin. Spread the mixture out in a prepared baking sheet (I used Pyrex) and roast until the tomatillos are soft, about 20 minutes. Puree in a food processor or in a blender. Stir in the sugar and the cilantro.

DP604 | Options for a New Monetary Framework for the Area of the Soviet Union

Publication Date

JEL Code(s)

Programme Area(s)

The paper discusses alternative options for a future monetary order in the area of the Soviet Union. Its main focus is on two questions: Under what conditions would a common rouble currency area be compatible with fiscal discipline and effective financial control over the large numbers of state-owned enterprises? If a transition to separate republican currencies is unavoidable, how can its effects on trade flows within the area of the Soviet Union be kept as small as possible? The paper analyses four options for a monetary union: the relatively unspecified Draft Treaty proposal by Yavlinsky; a monetary union according to the outline of the European System of Central Banks; a monetary union according to the model of a currency board; and a common central bank system managed by representatives from international institutions. If a system of separate currencies is to be introduced, it is essential that all republics peg to the same outside anchor, preferably the ECU. A common fixed rate system between the republics as well as a multilateral payments union could contribute to a reduction of the need for aggregate foreign exchange.

DP1496 | More Equal but Less Mobile? Education Financing and Intergenerational Mobility in Italy and in the United States

Publication Date

JEL Code(s)

Programme Area(s)

A state school system should be expected to reduce income inequality and to make intergenerational mobility easier. It is therefore somewhat surprising to observe that Italy, in comparison to the United States, displays less inequality between occupational incomes, but lower intergenerational upward mobility, not only between occupations, but also between education levels. In this paper we provide evidence on this empirical puzzle, and offer a theoretical explanation building around the idea that even if in Italy moving up on the social ladder is easier, the incentive to move may be lower, making mobility less likely.

You Did It!

You’re a coach! You made the decision, you followed through and now you’re an online coach!

You’ve set up your company name. You’ve got an idea of what area you want to coach people and you’re ready to go. You even organized 10 folders, red, blue, green, pink, orange, purple, yellow, grey, maroon, and teal, one to represent each one of your ideal clients. You’ve prepared for your new coaching clients’ information to be filed in a precious place.

It’s the most exciting thing! Every inch of your soul nudged you along on this path and you know with every beat of your heart, you were put on Earth to be a coach and service your tribe!

Maybe you have a certification, or maybe you even have a degree in the helping profession, maybe you just knew in your heart you were meant to help people and you finally followed through on your dreams.

There’s only one problem…..

You are spending endless hours spinning your wheels on how to get those clients and you can’t seem to find them.

That was not part of the plan!

Every day you look around social media or talk with your other coaching friends and they’re either in the same boat as you or seem miles away from you.

The latter group is running full practices and posting pictures online of their “freedom lifestyle” working par- time! You secretly dread opening up your newsfeed because you feel that sting of jealousy when you see someone post how they are running a full practice they love. You want that person to be you!

What gives??? It’s not that you don’t deserve clients, it’s actually the exact opposite!

You KNOW that your soul led you to be a coach, it’s a part of you and if you can’t make a living being a coach, you know a part of you would die.

Look no further because I’ve got your back!

It’s part of my passion to help other coaches authentically attract their ideal clients and thrive in their practice! In order to help you, I came up with 10 tips to help you attract your first 10 clients online.

So grab your favorite drink, pen, and some paper and let’s get you some clients!

1. Know Your Niche
I know you’ve probably heard this a million times, but it’s seriously the #1 thing that will make or break you. You need to know what area of life you want to help people. You can’t just say “Oh, I can help anyone with their issues.” This is called being a “generalist” and it will make attracting your client SO much harder.

Yes, I know you can serve anyone but you’ll spin your wheels until you are grinding on the metal if you don’t find the one niche you want to focus on. Trust me on this!

The good news is that once you have found success in one area or niche, you can expand if you choose. In my experience, most coaches stay in their niche because it’s their sweet spot and your clients get MAJOR results when you’re working in your sweet spot.

Let me break it down for you so you can make this start working for you right now!

The very first thing you need to realize is that there are 5 major areas of life that people will pay for you to help them with.

Finance or Money
Relationships or Love
Career or Business
Health and Fitness

Then next is decide which area you LOVE to work in. Once you’ve identified that there are some questions you’ll want to ask yourself before you dive head first into that niche.

Do you have the skills to get your clients results in this area? If yes, proceed forward.
What do people tell you you are good at doing? If it’s in this area, proceed forward.
Do you have experience getting your clients results or yourself results in this area? If yes, proceed forward.

If you don’t have one of these, that is ok! Just know that you’ll want to get the skills, get great at helping these clients, and help a handful of clients get the results they want. If this niche is your passion, it will all fall in place.

2. Drill Down On Who You Want to Serve
You just identified what niche you want to work in but you now need to dig a bit deeper and decide on WHO you want to serve. The niche is the area you want to work in, the who is your dream client.

You need to know who you’re trying to attract so that when you go out and market to them, they know you are talking to them. The more clear you get on this client avatar the better off you’ll be.

Let’s break down the steps on how you can drill down and start attracting your dream client.

Identify these things in order to get to the gold!

Are they a man, woman, or both?
What is their age range?
What type of career are they in?
Where do they like to hang out?
What’s the problem they have that keeps them up at night?
How can you serve them?

You can go as deep as you want with this one. It won’t stop you from attracting your ideal client. I know some coaches that are in extremely niched areas and they are doing very well. An example of this is a music coach I know who coaches her clients online. The unique thing about her niche is she only works with clients who are getting ready to compose music. I’d say that is a super-focused niche!

Notice how she has her niche in the career sector. She knows her clients are both men and women. She knows they love classical music. She knows that their deep desire is to create music and have it played in movies and in concerts. She has the experience and can serve them with her knowledge.

These are the things you want to think about when figuring out who you serve.

3. Identify The Service You Provide
You have the area and your dream client figured out, so now you need to know how you’re going to serve them. Believe it or not, most people skip this part. They think, “I’ll do a couple of calls with my clients and work from there.”

I’m going to share with you something that most coaches won’t tell you. Not because they’re trying to hide something from you, it’s just they don’t think about it until it becomes a problem.

I don’t want you to have these common problems coaches have. I want you to get a quick win!

You need to have a service you provide. It can’t just be a few calls and hopefully your client will get some result.

You want to identify the result you are going to provide to your clients. You need a signature system for your clients.

Let me break it down for you so you can identify what you provide.

Where is your client starting?
Where do they want to go?
How do you get them there? i.e. assignments, participation, step by step, your own method
How do you deliver this service? i.e. one to one over the phone, group coaching, online programs, retreats, or in person
What are the steps you take your clients through that create the win they are looking for?

Don’t get overwhelmed with this step. If you are struggling sit down with a friend and walk them through the process. Take notes on what you are doing and BOOM, there’s your signature system!

If you are brand new to coaching, I suggest you do a few complimentary sessions with a few people and get their feedback on what worked for them. As you are doing these sessions, keep notes on your process.

4. Know Your Unique Selling Proposition
You want to stand out to your clients. They want to feel like they are working with someone who has something they don’t.

When you’re attracting your ideal client, you want to know what your unique selling proposition is. What makes you the coach that they should work with?

Don’t hold back on this! This is your time to “brag” about why you’re the best one to help them create the result they desire.

Let me break it down for you so you can get clear on your Unique Selling Proposition.

What education or background do you have in the area you are serving your client?
How many years have you been in this field or this type of work?
Is there something you do for your clients that nobody else does?
Have you received awards in this area?
Have you been published in the media?
Do you have articles or a book published that shows your expertise?

When you are answering these question, remember that everything counts. You may not think it’s a big deal but it is, so write it down!

5. Be Real
The key to attracting your ideal client is all about being yourself! You have a beautiful gift and energy about you that your clients want to be a part of.

I’ve seen coaches act one way at a conference and a completely different way when “no one is looking.” The problem with living this way is that you aren’t in alignment with who you want to work with.

Most likely, your ideal client is very similar to who you were a few steps ago. Your ideal client wants to know that you “get” them.

Be yourself!

If you like to throw out a few curse words here and there, then do it. If you like to drink wine, it’s fine if you let your clients know that. If you like to watch reality TV, then don’t hide it.  And yes, all these examples are part of who I am!

You don’t need to be all prim and proper all the time. Your ideal clients are real people just like you and me!

I’m pretty sure you get the drift of my point so I’m not going to break down this section for you.

6. Give Them What They Want And Then Give Them More
Ok, this one has more than meets the eye. You want to give your clients what they want as far as results. What do I mean?

Say your clients want to lose 20 pounds by the New Year. You have a workout program and the diet plan designed to get them results. They want this so give it to them.

Here’s the catch, they need more than they want and they don’t even know if yet! It’s your job as a coach to know where your clients are going to get stuck or where they’re likely to stop.

Let’s break it down so you are giving your ideal client what they want and more.

You have your signature system so you can look at those steps and figure out where your client will trip up. Identify where your client may get stuck. This isn’t your program, it’s where THEY stop or have an issue that makes them feel stuck.

Create a work around. How do your clients get through this point. In the case of the health coach, they may have “plateau busters” or “the holiday rescue menu.” You want to be a few steps ahead of your client so they know what to expect and how to overcome the perceived block.

Be ready to create work arounds if your clients get stuck in an area that you hadn’t planned. There is always something new you will learn about your clients and the needs they have. Be ready to get creative and help them achieve the desired result.

Now, before you go jumping through hoops for your clients you only need to create work arounds for issues that other clients will benefit from. If this issue is unique to your client, then work with them to find the work around that works best with them.

Know and trust your power as a coach!

7. Have An Advertising Budget
News flash, you run a business now and there isn’t a business around that doesn’t pay for their marketing and advertising. Before you get intimidated, your budget doesn’t have to be huge. You need enough to get out and attract your clients to you and there are many ways to do this! Yes, there are free traffic sources as well but if you want to put your business on autopilot, you’ll need a budget to cover advertising and marketing.

Let me break this down for you so you can start planning your budget.

Identify your favorite traffic sources i.e. Facebook, Sponsorships, YouTube, Direct Response Marketing (snail mail), and Instagram.
Break down your income goals and decide how much you want to put towards your budget.
Take it slow at first and then ramp up when you find something that works.

You’ll need to test and tweak things as you go but the biggest thing I want you to get from this section is NOT to be afraid of spending a little money on advertising. You can start with as little as $20. You’ll thank me later when you have a huge email list and your business keeps growing!

8. Don’t Be A “Secret” Coach!
You might be asking, “What’s a “secret” coach? A “secret” coach is a coach that stays hidden in their office studying endless modalities in order to get ready to finally be a coach. You have to let people know how they can find you. They need to be able to contact you. You need to show people your magic sauce!

Let me break it down for you so you aren’t the next “secret” coach.

You’ll want to consider a website to be an online coach. You don’t need one but it really helps your clients get to know you. The website doesn’t need to be anything fancy. There’s a lot of options in this area so ask around and find the type of website that fits you best.

Promote your website. Remember that advertising budget? Promoting your website is part of this budget. You can’t just create a website and think people will stumble on to it, it doesn’t work that way.
Post your position on your social media accounts. Let people know you’re open for business.
Talk to people! I would bet money that there’s someone within your sphere of influence who either needs you or knows someone who needs you. Don’t be afraid to talk about your business to these people.

The key point here is to make sure you are letting people know that you are ready and able to take on clients. They won’t know unless you tell them.

9. Get Visible!
This goes right in line with the above tip, the difference is that there are tons of ways to let people you don’t know find you online. You’ve got to step past your fears and get out there and be seen.

You’ll want to do this in a natural way. You don’t want to be doing a million things to be seen burning yourself out. That’s not what we’re going for here. We’re going for your own unique way of being seen.

Let me break it down for you so you become visible!

Identify what types of online activities you enjoy being a part of.
Identify what it is about those online activities that you like.
Get involved with those activities.
Schedule these activities on your calendar and make them a priority.

The key point here is that you want to be in a place where you can be yourself and help serve by being involved. I used to run a podcast and I loved it. I made a ton of connections and found my ideal clients doing that podcast. Do something that you want to do and have fun with it!

10. Create A System That Attracts Your Ideal Clients
This is going to be a lot easier than you think. A system is something that is reliable, consistent, and delivers clients to you on autopilot in your own authentic way. You probably already have one but you just don’t have them organized.

Let me break it down for you so you have your system created.

Identify how you best attract clients. Is it in groups, forums, podcasts, or something completely different?
Drive people who fit your ideal client avatar onto your email list by giving them value.
Nurture these people by sharing with them.
Put your signature system into their awareness.
Ask them if they’re interested.
Sell your services.

There you have it! It’s not hard so don’t make it hard. That’s your subconscious mind trying to keep you “safe” and “comfortable.” Take bold action and attract your ideal clients to you.

Clear Once More

At some point

All of this

Will fade.

This, too, shall pass

And your best laid plans

Will go astray.

The road will curve,

The fork long behind-

You will question

And doubt

And lose, all the time.

The clocks will melt,

Your face will age.

Your fears will surface

And let loose your rage.

Friends will fall

Family will fail

And it will never, ever be easy.

Life is hard-

Make the most of it,

But take the safest route?

Take risks, live outside the box,

But don’t be different from Everyone Else?

How do we know how to live?

Where do I go from here?

And can I get through this?

What other choice do I have?

What else can I do

But survive?

Push On

In the end

We are all we have

And all we have done

And all we have made.

            In the End

            Refuse to Fade.

Beatlemania Show In 1983

My cousin Mark won tickets in 1983 on the radio to a show called Beatlemania. He called me up because he knew I was a huge Beatles fan and wanted to know if I wanted to go with him…well yes.

I was excited but I had no clue about what to expect. In the back of my mind, I thought they would cover 1964 and maybe the early part of 1965…nothing but the early period. I only had read about this show a little in the past where the Beatles took Beatlemania to court… Never read on how good or bad it was…

We got there and went to the lobby before the show. The actual band was in the lobby talking to some people. We went over to get something to drink and I heard a couple of people talking “hey they are going to try Lady Madonna tonight for the first time”, that surprised me. That is the second I started to get really excited about the show…I thought hmmm they might play more than just the early songs. The Beatles stopped touring after 1966 and so many of the songs from and after Revolver were never played live.

They came out in the suits and started off with Twist and Shout and sounded really good. Those early songs work well live.

After playing several songs an intermission was announced. They came back out dressed in Sgt Pepper outfits and started to play Sgt Pepper and Magical Mystery Tour songs. I kept thinking that these songs could not have been pulled off in the era they were released in live. I didn’t think I would ever hear these songs live…if I closed my eyes a little…it was as close to the real thing as I could get.

Another intermission and out they came dressed like the Abbey Road period and covered songs from the White Album, Let It Be, and Abbey Road.

To hear these songs live was incredible. They were very good musicians and did a good job emulating the Beatles. I’ve since seen other Beatle cover bands in Disneyworld and Opryland and they have been decent…but never as good as this show.

It’s odd giving a review of a show that happened 35 years ago but it was really enjoyable. In 2010 I saw Paul McCartney do many of the songs live that I had not heard since that night in 1983…but this time I didn’t have to pretend as much. The giant sound McCartney had was better than I ever could expect.

But as a 16-year-old Beatle fan on September 13, 1983, these pretend Beatles were a great experience.

    1. I just looked it up…nope… He was Lennon while Lennon was still living. He said he was out of the show by the time John was killed so he wasn’t in when I saw them… It really was a pretty cool show…I mean where else do you hear I Am The Walrus live?

  1. looks like you had pretty decent seats. but, I’m curious to know who the cast was for that night. there were about 40 some odd members of the show during its run.

    I’ve got a vague idea at who it might have been, but not totally sure.

    Liked by 1 person

    1. I would like to know. It was so much better than I thought it would be. I didn’t know at the time they covered their entire career… eras anyway.

Crafting Killer eMail Subject Lines

iMedia Shines

The Holy Grail of email marketing is the killer subject line.

Volumes have been written on the importance of that small string of text. The subject line must break through jaded, overloaded, over-emailed recipients with an irresistible call to Open, using key terms, all within a space far tinier than a Tweet.

I was inspired to write about subject lines today after scanning through hundreds of emails that had been filling my marketing news folders in the last 60 days. I soon realized I was saving an iMedia newsletter to about every four that I deleted from other publishers, on the strength of the subject lines alone.

That’s when I decided to take a closer look at what made iMedia subject lines stand out, and how they hooked me when others very similar in nature did not.

Patterns of Catchy Subject Lines That Made Me Click

I noticed that iMedia’s subject lines:

  • Effectively match the originating blog titles. (The tip of the iceberg, as you’ll see below).
  • Tantalize with hints of solutions to specific problems.
  • Push buttons on common fears and frustrations.
  • Articulate a concern or belief that is felt — but until now had not yet been spoken or identified — in the mind of a recipient.
  • Contain at least one word that is uncommon or uncommonly used in the context of the subject.
  • Use even numbers as well the more popular odd numbers for lists.

Some Examples

Here are some that caught my attention:

10 silly questions clients love to ask
Client relations are a common topic, but “Silly” got my attention.

How to get the most out of a conference
Lots of announcements about conferences, this one promised personal benefits for every conference.

The new innovation: 6 crowdsourcing best practices
You don’t see that many items on crowdsourcing as opposed to other methods, plus the number 6 is less used.

How to start building your brand ambassador community
I get lots of messages on building brand and community, but “ambassador” stood out and piqued my curiosity.

4 reasons you blew the RFP
Bluntness, especially about failure, pushes buttons, but also the even number “4” as opposed to more conventional “7” or “10” or “5” make the subject just one off enough.

One more:
7 tragic SEO oversights
Yes, “tragic” got my attention. Even doubting how any SEO issue could compare to a real tragedy, it hooked me anyway, wondering, well how badly could this story turn out?

I reached out to iMedia and asked them how they consistently created such appealing subject lines. Was it the work of one writer or editor, one department or many?

Gretchen Hyman, Editor-in-Chief of iMedia Communications, was kind enough to respond:

“We typically use the headline from that day’s top story as the subject line, and we spend a great deal of time preening over headlines in weekly meetings with all the editors and interns in attendance. In the case of creating a great headline, it often takes a focus group of editors who know what types of headlines appeal most immediately to readers. There is certainly nothing accidental about the process. Thanks for liking what we’re doing. . . ”

In summary, writing killer email Subject Lines is an especially challenging form. And despite the rise of User-Generated-Content, there is no substitute for research, collaboration, talent and the consistency of professional writing and editing.

Dissertation/Thesis Abstract

Making Sense of Post-Relocation for Public Housing Residents in Izmir, Turkey
by Kural, Melis Su, Ph.D., State University of New York at Buffalo, 2017, 277; 10284268
Abstract (Summary)

Ongoing economic insecurity, political conflicts, and increased terrorism attacks in eastern Turkey has generated massive internal migration into the country’s western cities, leading to vast changes in demographic, social, economic, and political structures. For decades, migrants and displaced persons lived in informal, makeshift dwellings in less developed spaces in the older city centers. Since 2000, municipal governments have relocated thousands of migrants to newly constructed, massive public housing developments in suburban “satellite cities.”

This dissertation examines the impact of relocation from the viewpoint of low-income women relocated to two neighborhoods, Zubeyde Hanim and Uzundere, in Izmir, Turkey, For this project, residents were asked about their perceptions and experiences with education and employment opportunities in the newly developed urban satellites communities and where relocation has or has not benefited them. Data for this dissertation include extensive fieldwork observations and seventy interviews with female residents and key community informants, such as high school and middle school principals and the director of educational and cultural programs.

The main findings of this dissertation show that access to newly provided educational and employment opportunities upon relocation mattered for particular everyday practices of the women. But their overall participation in these programs was low and relocation did not result in a significant increase in education and employment participation. Furthermore, the involvement of residents in new opportunities was largely influenced by their prior employment and educational experience. Another significant finding of this dissertation was that residents responded to the process of relocation differently based on cultural, religious, and gendered conditions. As a result, issues of resident trust and participation in community life differed for Zubeyde Hanim and Uzundere residents. The larger implications of this dissertation include the need for more inclusive forms of official communication between authorities and resettled residents that appreciates the challenges they experience.

A 5-year-old’s cute response to his mother about him needing a haircut has gone viral, and for a good reason.

Lydia Stith Rosebush recently posted the below photo to Facebook of her son Jax and his friend Reddy.  She says she had told Jax he needed a haircut and she asked what he wanted to do about his “wild hair.”  Jax responded that he wanted to shave his head to look like Reddy, so when they went to school the teacher wouldn’t be able to tell them apart.

Rosebush said in her post, “Here’s a picture of Jax and Reddy from their Christmas program.  I’m sure you all see the resemblance.”  She went on to say, “If this isn’t proof that hate and prejudice is something that is taught I don’t know what is. The only difference Jax sees in the two of them is their hair.”  The post has since been shared over 81,000 times and counting.

Jax did end up getting his hair cut like Reddy’s.  Check out Jax’s haircut in the video here.

5 January 2003 ~ The UK retail sector is currently experiencing its worst period in over four decades, following the lowest annual growth for more than 40 years and a particularly weak last quarter to 2003. However there may be light at the end of the tunnel as online sales continue to defy the general trend, according to ecommerce company Actinic, who provide the sales technology for more than 10% of online stores in the UK. In its third end of year survey among a sample of its users, the company found that most web stores who responded saw rises of 10-30% in online sales compared with the same period last year. The highest increase in the sample, recorded by arts and crafts specialist, e-Pastimes ( was 400%.

Chris Barling, CEO of Actinic, explains, "I'd say that the results indicate that part of the fall in high street sales is directly attributable to increasing use of the internet by both shoppers and retailers." Mike Hughes of First Tackle ( agrees: "Our experience of Christmas trading on the internet is almost the opposite of that seen by many of the high street retailers. While they suffer from a mad last minute dash and consequent discounting, our sales boom was from early in November, only tailing off about a week before Christmas as the last posting dates loomed."

According to Modelfair (, who deal in British model railway collectables, "There is increasing confidence from the general public to buy online. Business has gone from internet sales accounting for 5% of turnover to 90% in 3 years."

The growing confidence of shoppers in the internet as a medium for purchasing is increasingly matched by retailers benefiting from the convenience and reliability of today's ecommerce technology. Steve Cooke of online retailer Shop4tools ( comments, "We have experienced a huge increase in growth in the period and the Actinic software has performed faultlessly."

How A News Item Became ‘The Fatal Crack In The Monolithic Eastern Bloc’

HUNGARY – Hungarian border guards cut through the barbed wire frontier with Austria and the Free West near Hegyeshalom some 50 kilometers east of Vienna on May 2, 1989.

RFE/RL spoke with Andras Vincze, RFE Hungarian Broadcasting Department News Desk Editor, based in Munich from 1979-94, about the role and impact of RFE in Hungary during the events of 1989. Vincze was later sent to Budapest in 1990 to organize local freelancers for the newly opened RFE bureau.

RFE/RL: The events started with the Pan-European picnic in Hungary, close to the Austrian border. How did RFE/RL cover it? And the exodus of Germans through Austria to Germany?

VINCZE: At the time, we got all our information from the [RFE/RL] News and Current Affairs Department (NCA), where all the main East and West European news agencies like AP, UPI or DPA, AFP, but also TASS and the Hungarian MTI were monitored.

As far as I know, there were already at that time some freelancers in Budapest. One of them got in touch even with Pater Imre Kozma, who took care of the East German tourists in the camp around his church in Zugliget, a borough of Budapest, with the help of the West German Maltese Help Organization and with Caritas.

And the exodus of Germans through Austria was, as I remember, no more than a news item. At that time, there were no more than 1,000 East Germans who had travelled by chartered buses through Austria, and arrived in Passau. From there they were sent to different small German towns, which had prepared temporary homes for them.

RFE/RL: They went to Munich, where RFE/RL was based. What did RFE/RL and the staff think at that stage about the possible outcome of the developments?

VINCZE: After the Pan-European picnic the border was closed again, but more and more East Germans came to Budapest, hoping for a similar border opening. RFE was covering the international events, the talks between Helmut Kohl, the West German Chancellor and Mitterrand, President of France, Margaret Thatcher, the British PM and Mikhail Gorbachev, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the USSR.

In the early days of September, Gorbachev said to Helmut Kohl that the Hungarians were good people. It was thus understood by Kohl that the Hungarian government had received permission to let East Germans go to the West, and therefore on the 10th of September the border was opened. This decision by the government was announced that evening on Hungarian State TV.

For us at the Hungarian News Desk, this news was the top story that evening. Over the next several days about 60,000 East Germans left Budapest mainly by chartered buses. I remember hearing a commentary in our broadcast during those days, saying that the border opening was probably the point of the definitive break-down in relations between Budapest and East Berlin, and that no more East German citizens would be delivered, as before, to the Stasi, the East German secret police. And this decision could be considered the fatal crack in the monolithic eastern bloc.

RFE/RL: The fall of the Berlin Wall: the turning point in East-West relations?

VINCZE: I guess the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989 was a turning point in East-West relations. I remember those days well, because I was sent to Berlin on November 10 to make reports in the streets and to speak with people. One of the most emotional impressions was how people reacted when they learned I was Hungarian, and many of them even knew of Radio Free Europe’s contribution to the downfall of communism.

When I went to West-Berlin Radio to send back to Munich my reports by radio-lines, I was greeted with a lot of emotion, and when I asked what I owed them for using their facilities, they said to me with tears in their eyes that this was the minimum they could do as a big-big thank-you to Radio Free Europe.

RFE/RL: How did it happen that more and more original material could be gained from behind the Iron Curtain?

VINCZE: The Hungarian Broadcasting Department had a freelancer in London already in 1986, George Krasso, who was the point of contact for regime-critical people in the country, and through him we got a lot of direct information from the anti-communist circles.

After Roland Eggleston from NCA left Munich to work on the spot in Budapest, he also started to build up a correspondent network there. He had good contacts with the Hungarian government, so he could also get from this side important inside information. I can say that in 1989, we had regular reports from our freelance correspondents from Hungary, and because they were mainly involved in the struggle for regime change, they could also talk about upcoming events for us to report on. The fear was somehow broken, and these correspondents often did vox pop interviews in the streets in Budapest.

RFE/RL: When did journalists first manage to enter Eastern bloc countries for reporting?

VINCZE: Let me answer with my own experience. I tried to get into Hungary in the summer of 1988. That was the year of the reburial of the famous Hungarian composer Béla Bartók, who died in exile in 1945 in NY, and the government in Budapest decided to return his coffin for a state funeral in Budapest. The coffin came by ship from New York to Cherbourg, and in every important town there were special celebrations honoring Béla Bartók.

The Hungarian Broadcasting Department decided to report on this as it progressed through Western Europe, and accompany the coffin to the state funeral in Budapest. This was to be the first entry by a staff member of the department behind the Iron Curtain. And because I didn’t have Hungarian citizenship, only my Belgian, the board thought I wouldn’t run any danger by entering the country, if I got a Hungarian visa. The department began the process of officially applying for a visa for me at the Hungarian Embassy in Bonn well in advance. There the answer was positive, but they had to wait for the decision from the Central Committee of the Hungarian Communist Party.

So, in the meantime, I went to France, then accompanied the coffin through Germany, then to Salzburg. Finally, when we got to Vienna, Munich told me to go to the Bankgass, the Hungarian Embassy in Vienna, to get the visa into my passport. I did so, but the Embassy said I should get my visa at the border. My boss told me from Munich not to do that, because it could be a trap, so I returned back to Munich, without reporting on the last leg of this reburial. A couple of days later the Hungarian Embassy in Bonn called the department, telling us that I could come and pick up my visa. This was typical harassment by the official side of communist Hungary.

RFE/RL: How did East European politicians begin to respond to RFE/RL approaches?

VINCZE: I can only speak on my own experience of what happened in Hungary, where, from 1989 politicians who still were members of the Communist Party but wanted to rejuvenate the system, give it a human image, started to use RFE to make public their opinion, or to prepare to save themselves for the future. Just to mention some names: Miklos Nemeth, the prime minister at the time, or Imre Pozsgay, member of the Central Committee, who was the first to call the 1956 uprising a “revolution.”

Parma and Vernio

After our dramatic day of acqua alta earlier in the week, and my working incessantly on a curatorial project that kept me chained to the computer for six days, it was time to take a trip.

Here are some drawings from our trip a few days ago to Parma, Vernio, and Prato. We were invited to come to Vernio (Val Bisenzio, provincia di Prato) for the dedication of the town's new museum of historic textile machinery (museo di macchine tessili, or MUMAT) on Saturday morning, and then to continue to Prato to see the Museum of Textile (Museo del Tessuto). We decided to combine this with a trip to Parma to see the Correggio exhibition. We would spend the night with friends in Montepiano, in the mountains above Vernio. We departed Venice this past Friday morning by train to Bologna, with a change in Parma. Total trip should normally take 3 hours.

Train to Bologna on the way to Parma

A delay in the system into Bologna meant that all trains were running late, so that trip was nearly three hours instead of 1 h 40m. So after we made our train connection in Bologna, we finally arrived in Parma about an hour late. We went right to the Palazzo del Pilota, got our tickets for the exhibition for 1:15 pm, grabbed a quick lunch in a bar (risotto with radicchio and provolo), spent two hours in the museum part of the exhibition, and then had our timed ticket at 3:15 pm for the ascent on scaffolding to the cupola of the Duomo to see Correggio's fresco of the assumption of the Virgin very close. Wonderful exhibition, major, major paintings on view, and I loved seeing the frescoes in the cupola, but I will leave that for someone else to write about. Our train was scheduled to leave Parma at 16,33, so we had little time to waste. Just enough to find an alimentari (grocery store) and buy a kg of aged Parmegiano Reggiano to bring to our friends.

When we boarded the train back to Bologna, there came an announcement that due to an accident, all trains between Parma and Bologna were blocked for at least 2 hours. So the entire main line of the Italian system was shut down. Our train would have a 120 min delay. General consternation, lots of making alternate We just remained in our seats. This is where drawing is a great advantage. It is easy to pass the time, and with all the travel I do, I am used to delays and endless waiting. So I ate my clementine and drew it too. Here you can see that geesepalace and I have very different peeling styles. Raggedy starburst vs. elegant spiral.

Eating Clementini while stuck on the train at Parma

Clementini on train to Bologna

After two hours, we did indeed proceed to Bologna. By then, I had drawn enough orange peels and trains that it was time to merge the two themes.
At Bologna, we found sheer chaos. I have never seen so many people crammed together in an underpass between train platforms. Thousands and thousands of people stranded at Bologna waiting for their delayed or cancelled trains. It far exceeded any crowds I've seen in the NYC or Tokyo subways. It was simply and horribly dangerous.

Train to Vernio
We missed our connection to the local train through the Appenines to Vernio, but there was a last train at 20,30, so we eventually boarded that. A hyperactive father too enthusiastically playing wit his 3 year old daughter were seated near us, and it was a relief when they arrived at their destination. We finally arrived at Vernio, after what turned out to be a five-hour trip from Parma. Our friends met us, and we had a great dinner at Renzino's, a trattoria near the train station, before driving up into the mountains and to Montepiano, and to bed.

Museo del Tessuto, Vernio

Next morning, we came back down to Vernio, attended the opening of the museum, built in an old textile factory. (Historians of textile technology, take note!). After the speeches, and during the tour, I made a few quick sketches of old machinery, and learned a lot about reprocessing (regenerating) used wool clothing into new thread. A lovely buffet with drinks and local specialties, including crostini and zuccherini. After that, we departed with a friend from Prato, ate lunch (back at Renzino's) and went to see the Museo del Tessuto. Very impressive museum of the history of textiles, with, I must say, an excellent didactic program as well. Nice museum shop too, and I found a series of lace letters and bought an R to give to give as a birthday present later that evening. Nice evening walk around Prato before taking the train - 35 minute delay - back to Venice. The trip back was ok, but we got back too late to make a dash to the restaurant near the Arsenale for our friend Richard's 80th birthday party.

Letter from Jalil Muntaqim

This is a letter written by Jalil Muntaqim who is incarcerated in Attica, and published on his weblog by his supporters.
This is a direct link to his letter and his blog.

Greetings, As Jalil’s Blog keeper, I want to give you the information Jalil sent out regarding on going harassment at Attica, a NYS prison. Please read and respond to his request. Many thanks.

The Facts of Disciplinary Charges:
105.14 Unauthorized Organization
and Disciplinary Hearing of 1/13/12-1/23/12

On the morning of January 5, 2012 , three officers searched D-37-32, the cell where I was being held. As I observed the cell search, Correctional Officer Wagnor removed my photo album and took it with him at the conclusion of the cell search. At approximately 11:20 AM, Officer Wagnor returned the photo album, absent the 14 photos. On January 6, 2012 , I was issued a non-confinement Tier III misbehavior report for violation of 105.14 Unauthorized Organization.

On 1/5/12, during a scheduled counselor interview that I had requested that afternoon, Counselor Schiffer called the correspondence department while I sat in his office and inquired about the photos confiscated from my photo album. He was told by correspondence personnel that the photos should not have been confiscated since they had been approved by correspondence for me to receive. Mr. Krumph refused to allow me to call Correctional Counselor Schiffer to testify on my behalf on January 23, 2012.

On 1/13/12, Superintendent Mark L. Bradt designated Mr. George Krumph to conduct the disciplinary hearing. At that time I informed Mr. Krumph I wanted to call as witnesses Correctional Counselor Schiffer, the correspondence officer, and Sergeant Cochran. Mr. Krumph then postponed the hearing so he could speak to my witnesses.

The correspondence officer would have addressed during the disciplinary hearing whether all procedures pursuant to Directive #4422: Inmate Correspondence were fulfilled, permitting me to receive the photos.

Furthermore, he would have addressed the proper procedure for the process of contraband photos in accord with Directive #4422 to be disposed of if found to be contraband. Mr. Krumph refused to allow me to call the correspondence officer to testify on my behalf on 1/23/12.

Sergeant Cochran, who had been acting as Attica’s “gang intelligence officer,” would have testified as to what should be considered an “unauthorized organization” from his years of intelligence experience at Attica. Also, he would be able to attest to the fact he was present during the processing of my personal property from Auburn. At that time, no contraband photos or literature were found in my personal property, including anything pertaining to “unauthorized organization.” Mr. Krumph refused to allow Sergeant Cochran to testify on my behalf on 1/23/12.
On 1/23/12, Mr. Krumph recommended the disciplinary hearing be postponed again, following the postponement on 1/13/12 to speak to my witnesses. He provided a form for me to sign indicating an extension had been secured for the time delay in conducting the hearing. I respectfully declined to sign the form.

Mr. Krumph then summarily denied all three of my witnesses to testify, and over my objections called Lt. Simmons and introduced him as an expert on “unauthorized organizations.” Lt. Simmons reviewed the 14 photos, immediately declaring them representative of an unauthorized organization. Lt. Simmons never stated what made him an expert; he never identified what in the photos made them unauthorized organizations; he never described or indicated what was in the photos that was incriminating. He just looked at them and parroted that they were indeed “unauthorized organization.”
It was obvious that Lt. Simmons was called specifically to violate each and every opportunity for me to refute the disciplinary charges, having them dismissed and the photos returned to me.

I objected to Lt. Simmons’ testimony and proceeded to present how my defense against the charges was essentially sabotaged, not permitting me to call any of my witnesses. I then presented the Bay View newspaper received on 1/13/12 from the correspondence department.

The front page showed two large photos—one of a picket sign with a large clenched fist, and the other of a young Black guy holding a protest sign in one hand, with the other hand held in the air with a clenched fist. Also, I previously offered other materials received from the correspondence department of similar nature, including the memorial ceremony programs of Cetewayo, Smitty and Karim. None of these, like the photos, had been submitted to media review or any other scrutiny for contraband by the correspondence department before being delivered to me.

Mr. Krumph did not deny or refute that the 14 photos or other materials were delivered to me by the correspondence department in accord with Directive #4422. Mr. Krumph did not respond or refute that I had not violated any rule subject to correspondence in order to obtain the 14 photos. In fact, Mr. Krumph remained mute when I argued I should not be disciplined for photos the correspondence department permitted me to receive.

I objected to the entire proceedings, including the harsh 6 months SHU time, loss of commissary, packages, phone calls, and good time.
I was immediately handcuffed and escorted to SHU.

It should be noted that the 14 photos depicted the memorial ceremony of Cetewayo (Michael Tabor) held at City College in March 2011, in which a Black Panther Party banner was hanging on a wall. Also, a photo at the ceremony depicted young people wearing blue and black giving clenched fist salutes. There were a couple of photos of the 14 that were of Smitty’s memorial with the banner hanging on the back wall while people spoke at the podium. Nothing inflammatory was depicted—hence, the correspondence department approved them to be received.

This is pure harassment indicating the administration’s propensity to flagrantly violate its own rules and regulations.

Anthony Jalil Bottom
Attica Correctional Facility, SHU

Jalil has been in SHU since Monday, January 23, 2012, with only the clothes on his back. He has not been given any personal property, and was told he probably won’t receive any of it for weeks. He has no phone privileges, no commissary, no packages, and will eventually be allowed 5 books and limited legal materials. He will have only one visit weekly for the duration, and these are no-contact visits which take place in Attica’s SHU.

He is asking that people contact NYS Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, Commissioner Brian Fischer, Assemblyman Jeffrion Aubry and the New York State Commission on Corrections to demand that the charges be dropped, that he be released from SHU immediately, and that this campaign of harassment come to AN IMMEDIATE END! These charges are entirely fabricated and show premeditation on behalf of the prison administration to lock Jalil away until his next parole hearing in June and to negatively affect the outcome of that hearing.

When an array is declared, the compiler allocates a base address and reserves enough space in memory for all the elements of the array. The size is required to allocate the required space and hence size must be mentioned.
