Note to Self

*** begin quote ***

While thumbing through a box of mostly benign grammar school ephemera recently, I encountered an uneven scrap of notebook paper with some scribbling on it. Turns out that it was a bona fide “Note to Self” and dated 2/26/80, which places its author—me—in my senior year of high school. 

*** and ***

On June 27, 1980, I was supposed to exclaim, “Hey, that awful angst that I wrote about in my ‘Note to Self’ is no more—gone with the winds of time.” Well, having missed that key date, I have finally gotten around to reading it thirty-three years later. And, yes, whatever was the overwhelming burden that confounded me on that February eve a long time ago has been lifted from my shoulders. As for other “Notes to Self” that exist in the myriad ephemera that I have yet to uncover, I’m certain, too, that those assorted tribulations have also dissipated.

However, I’ve got some brand new “Notes to Self” that need to be written—notes befitting my life in the new millennium. To be taken out on when—now that’s the big question. Perhaps I’ll publish them in thirty-three years and let everybody know how they turned out….

*** end quote ***

[JR: I have some "notes to self" to start writing. Although I doubt I'll be reading them in 33 years. 1946! I'll be 99. Maybe someone will read them to me. It certainly helps me put my current … feelings in perspective. Remember the Persian King's ring: "THis too shall pass!" Argh!  ]

POSITRACTION: Lodato, Ray (MC1984) had a great post on Facebook

Posted on March 17, 2013 by | Leave a comment

Lodato, Ray (MC1984):

*** begin quote ***

Saw an incredible documentary today, entitled “Hit and Stay.” It’s about the work of Catholic activists in opposing the Vietnam War. At a time when the Cardinals of the Church were providing cover for politicians who were executing the war, these courageous people saw the true measure of their faith in a commitment to ending the war and saving the lives of Americans and Vietnamese. Took my 2 oldest boys, too, so they could get a sense of what it means to live their faith.

*** end quote ***

History & Background
In 1967, the Baltimore Four poured blood on a few hundred A-1 draft files and waited peacefully to be arrested. They hoped not only to spare a few lives by denying the Selective Service system recruits, but also to start a discussion about the morality of war and conscription and to inspire others to take similar action.

The following year, the Catonsville Nine, Milwaukee 14, and D.C. Nine followed up with similar actions carried out by groups of priests, nuns, and their friends. Their tactics and goals moved beyond symbolic action; in doing so they subjected themselves to serious prison sentences. They sought to put the war on trial as they were being tried for their acts of resistance.

Hundreds more soon joined in as a flood of similar actions followed throughout the early 1970s. Their tactics changed: Symbolic action gave way to concerted efforts to disrupt the Selective Service system, state by state. Activists stopped waiting around to be arrested and started trying to destroy as many induction files as possible and evade capture. Many of them took part in multiple actions. Many ended up serving lengthy prison terms.

Actions like the Catonsville Nine received massive media attention, others went uncovered by the press and unreported or even downplayed by government officials. But the government took notice and Hoover’s FBI set out to infiltrate the movement and nullify it as it did the Black Panthers, Weather Underground, and other organizations. By the mid-1970s it seemed the government had succeeded.

But these actions and activists inspired untold numbers of people around the world. And many of the so-called Catholic Left or Ultra Resistance activists have continued the struggle and are working toward a variety of causes today.

[JR: While one can question if this was "authentic", one can't question that there was a Ghandi-like MLK-like individuals here. Interesting that there is NO anti-war movement when a D is in the White House. Well, no movement other than the Quakers, Libertarians, and some pro-lifers. But it's minuscule in comparison to what it was against the draft! Now that it's all "volunteer", it's fine! Blessed are the peacemakers? Anyone remember the "Just War" doctrine?]

Christopher Carey

‎25 years ago today I received the greatest gift of my life when I married my Manhattan College sweetheart Maureen Taylor at St William the Abbott Church in Seaford, Long Island. We have been blessed with two beautiful and talented daughters Tara and Anna. We have also enjoyed the love and support of the best friends and family anyone could ask for.

Earlier this year Maureen was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her quiet grace and dignity through the healing process has been an inspiration to us all. As we move into the next 25 years of our marraige I know she will continue to amaze me. I love her more now then ever.

Social Media for Professionals – 4 More Resources

Posted by advantagemarketing on September 6, 2012

*** begin quote ***

Chemical Engineering Progress magazine recently ran my article series on social media for professionals.

I recently authored an article series on social media for professionals for the Career Catalyst section of Chemical Engineering Progress magazine. These articles are great resources, whether you are professional just starting out in social media, or a business owner who wants social media tips and techniques to grow your business.

My philosophy is to keep it simple. As a business owner or professional, you have a lot on your plate already. I write so that it’s easy for you to absorb and learn new social media and marketing tactics. Then it becomes very easy to put these ideas to work in your own business or professional career.

In “Getting Started in Social Media“ you can discover the benefits of Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+, Twitter and other social media and get practical advice on using these tools effectively, whether you’re a veteran or relative novice.

“Use LinkedIn to Advance Your Career” reveals tips and techniques for using LinkedIn to establish a professional online presence, connect with others, and find business and job opportunities.

“Smart Blogging for Chemical Engineers” shares how blogs allow anyone – even people with minimal computer knowledge – to easily publish text, photos, and audio and video files on the Internet. The article offers blogging tips for sharing technical information, building thought leadership, and growing a community of followers.
Cloud tools for collaboration

Professionals can find new ways to work together with Internet-based collaboration tools.

Internet-based applications are changing the way we work together. In “Use Cloud Tools to Collaborate“ you’ll learn how virtual tools can help project teams make decisions more quickly, reduce costs, and increase productivity.

Need help getting your social media efforts off the ground? Check out our Quick Start Social Media Coaching for professionals and business owners.

JFOUND: Bena, Dan [MC????] Senior Director of Sustainable Development for PepsiCo

Our Society In Good Hands
by Dan Bena

*** begin quote ***

Last week I enjoyed a morning at my alma mater, Manhattan College, where PepsiCo sponsored the Youth Policy Summit through the Keystone Center. The Summit engages high school students—in this case, one from as far away as Alaska—to learn mediation, collaboration, and communication skills in the context of complicated policy dilemmas. It is a great concept, and proved to be an outstanding experience.

In a survey by Accenture a couple of years ago of nearly a thousand global CEOs, I recall that 72% of them identified education as the “global development issue most critical to address for the future success of their business.” Well, the CEOs in this survey should have seen and heard the students this morning! It would have given them reason to be optimistic, as it did for me. Our society really is in good hands with youth leaders of tomorrow like the ones I had the honor of engaging with at the summit.

I am fortunate to speak to many audiences but I think high-school students are quickly becoming my favorite. They have absolutely no hidden agendas. They are not job seeking, or out to impress a college professor, or a non-profit hoping for funding or other support. In the end, they are just kids. Kids interested in making the world a better place to live—for themselves, their friends, their parents, and maybe even their own children someday. They have no filters—what you see is what you get, and—more importantly, what they say is what they mean! It is a sobering and humbling experience for any company, I think, to talk about their mission in front of high school students.

Dan Bena

Dan Bena is currently the Senior Director of Sustainable Development for PepsiCo, serving as liaison between technical functions, government affairs, public policy, and field operations to develop key strategies and messaging to internal and external stakeholder groups.
