Stop Vote-Bank Politics of Appeasemen -., Expose the Communist Congress Naxal Nexus to Destabalize Count !! .

Friends, 17.04.2007 .

When the Sachar Report about the status of Muslims in India came out our enlightened and pseudo-secular friends in the campus be they the communists or the ultra radicals like SFI a~d AISA who till now used to cry horse about Gujarat (conveniently forgetting their own Nand1grams, Dantewada, .... and the hundreds of innocent lives which has been lost in the mindless violence by these ultras and the naxals) failed to convey to the campus and the student .

community as a whole (their intentional memory lapses and failures are far to ma_ny) tha~ t_he same Sachar Report had mentioned that from an overall Muslim empowerment standpomt Dravtdtan ruled Tamil Nadu and BJP Ruled Gujarat are at the top of the deck while the communist ruled West Beng~l IS at the bottom. There in lies the key message from the Sachar Report. For decades now smce Independence we have witnessed Muslim Vote Bank Politics practiced by the ~ongress a~d ~he other regional outfits including the communists while paying lip service to seculansm and cla1mmg cover under protecting Minority Interests. So when the CPI-M and the Congress seek to make the case that the Sachar Report nails the BJP lie one cannot but wonder what make believe parallel universe the .

Congress and the Communists dwell in. . .

If anything the Sachar findings far from nailing any lie, make it loud and clear that Musl1m Vote nk Politics have been all about Minority Appeasement and not about Minority Empowerment. They e~e never really about caring for the ordinary Muslim on the road but were always· about how the gress and the Communists could trade power, entitlements and fear in exchange for the Muslim .

:e Bank. Be it the Shah Bano Case, be it the kow-towing to fatwas and Ulema, be it the indulgence e Shahi Imam on key political issues, and be it Haj Subsidy or Wakf Board freebies. .

The fact is that despite the high-decibel campaign launched by the anti-nationals about the .

s c ar Reporl, there is no sign of any systemic discrimination against the Muslims when it cernes to .

As fa r as poverty among Muslims is concerned the all India average for the means per capita .

Time to renovate Masonic Lodge No 730.

 

Masonic Square and Compasses:

 

The Square and Compasses (or, more correctly, a square and a set of compasses joined together) is the single most identifiable symbol of Freemasonry. Both the square and compasses are architect's tools and are used in Masonic ritual as emblems to teach symbolic lessons. Some Lodges and rituals explain these symbols as lessons in conduct: for example, Duncan's Masonic Monitor of 1866 explains them as: "The square, to square our actions; The compasses, to circumscribe and keep us within bounds with all mankind".

 

However, as Freemasonry is non-dogmatic, there is no general interpretation for these symbols (or any Masonic symbol) that is used by Freemasonry as a whole.

 

Square and Compasses:

These two symbols have been so long and so universally combined — to teach us, as says an early instruction, "to square our actions and to keep them within due bounds," they are so seldom seen apart, but are so kept together, either as two Great Lights, or as a jewel worn once by the Master of the Lodge, now by the Past Master—that they have come at last to be recognized as the proper badge of a Master Mason, just as the Triple Tau is of a Royal Arch Mason or the Passion Cross of a Knight Templar.

 

So universally has this symbol been recognized, even by the profane world, as the peculiar characteristic of Freemasonry, that it has recently been made in the United States the subject of a legal decision. A manufacturer of flour having made, in 1873, an application to the Patent Office for permission to adopt the Square and Compasses as a trade-mark, the Commissioner of Patents, .J. M. Thatcher, refused the permission as the mark was a Masonic symbol.

 

If this emblem were something other than precisely what it is—either less known", less significant, or fully and universally understood—all this might readily be admitted. But, Considering its peculiar character and relation to the public, an anomalous question is presented. There can be no doubt that this device, so commonly worn and employed by Masons, has an established mystic significance, universally recognized as existing; whether comprehended by all or not, is not material to this issue. In view of the magnitude and extent of the Masonic organization, it is impossible to divest its symbols, or at least this particular symbol—perhaps the best known of all—of its ordinary signification, wherever displaced, either as an arbitrary character or otherwise.

 

It will be universally understood, or misunderstood, as having a Masonic significance; and, therefore, as a trade-mark, must constantly work deception. Nothing could be more mischievous than to create as a monopoly, and uphold by the poser of lacy anything so calculated. as applied to purposes of trade. to be misinterpreted, to mislead all classes, and to constantly foster suggestions of mystery in affairs of business (see Infringing upon Freemasonry, also Imitative Societies, and Clandestine).

In a religious work by John Davies, entitled Summa Totalis, or All in All and the Same Forever, printed in 1607, we find an allusion to the Square and Compasses by a profane in a really Masonic sense. The author, who proposes to describe mystically the form of the Deity, says in his dedication:

Yet I this forme of formelesse Deity,

Drewe by the Squire and Compasse of our Creed.

In Masonic symbolism the Square and Compasses refer to the Freemason's duty to the Craft and to himself; hence it is properly a symbol of brotherhood, and there significantly adopted as the badge or token of the Fraternity.

Berage, in his work on the higher Degrees, Les plus secrets Mystéres des Hauts Grades, or The Most Secret Mysteries of the High Grades, gives a new interpretation to the symbol. He says: "The Square and the Compasses represent the union of the Old and New Testaments. None of the high Degrees recognize this interpretation, although their symbolism of the two implements differs somewhat from that of Symbolic Freemasonry.

 

The Square is with them peculiarly appropriated to the lower Degrees, as founded on the Operative Art; while the Compasses, as an implement of higher character and uses, is attributed to the Decrees, which claim to have a more elevated and philosophical foundation. Thus they speak of the initiate, when he passes from the Blue Lodge to the Lodge of Perfection, as 'passing from the Square to the Compasses,' to indicate a progressive elevation in his studies. Yet even in the high Degrees, the square and compasses combined retain their primitive signification as a symbol of brotherhood and as a badge of the Order."

 

Square and Compass:

By Bro. B. C. Ward, Iowa

 

Worshipful Master and Brethren: Let us behold the glorious beauty that lies hidden beneath the symbolism of the Square and Compass; and first as to the Square. Geometry, the first and noblest of the sciences, is the basis on which the superstructure of Masonry has been erected. As you know, the word "Geometry" is derived from two Greek words which mean "to measure the earth," so that Geometry originated in measurement; and in those early days, when land first began to be measured, the Square, being a right angle, was the instrument used, so that in time the Square began to symbolize the Earth. And later it began to symbolize, Masonically, the earthly-in man, that is man's lower nature, and still later it began to symbolize man's duty in his earthly relations, or his moral obligations to his Fellowmen. The symbolism of the Square is as ancient as the Pyramids. The Egyptians used it in building the Pyramids. The base of every pyramid is a perfect square, and to the Egyptians the Square was their highest and most sacred emblem. Even the Chinese many, many centuries ago used the Square to represent Good, and Confucius in his writings speaks of the Square to represent a Just man.

 

As Masons we have adopted the 47th Problem of Euclid as the rule by which to determine or prove a perfect Square. Many of us remember with what interest we solved that problem in our school days. The Square has become our most significant Emblem. It rests upon the open Bible on this altar; it is one of the three great Lights; and it is the chief ornament of the Worshipful Master. There is a good reason why this distinction has been conferred upon the Square. There can be nothing truer than a perfect Square--a right angle. Hence the Square has become an emblem of Perfection.

 

Now a few words as to the Compass: Astronomy was the second great science promulgated among men. In the process of Man's evolution there came a time when he began to look up to the stars and wonder at the vaulted Heavens above him. When he began to study the stars, he found that the Square was not adapted to the measurement of the Heavens. He must have circular measure; he needed to draw a circle from a central point, and so the Compass was employed. By the use of the Compass man began to study the starry Heavens, and as the Square primarily symbolized the Earth, the Compass began to symbolize the Heavens, the celestial canopy, the study of which has led men to think of God, and adore Him as the Supreme Architect of the Universe. In later times the Compass began to symbolize the spiritual or higher nature of man, and it is a significant fact that the circumference of a circle, which is a line without end, has become an emblem of Eternity and symbolizes Divinity; so the Compass, and the circle drawn by the Compass, both point men Heavenward and Godward.

 

The Masonic teaching concerning the two points of the Compass is very interesting and instructive. The novitiate in Masonry, as he kneels at this altar, and asks for Light sees the Square, which symbolizes his lower nature, he may well note the position of the Compass. As he takes another step, and asks for more Light, the position of the Compass is changed somewhat, symbolizing that his spiritual nature can, in some measure, overcome his evil tendencies. As he takes another step in Masonry, and asks for further Light, and hears the significant words, "and God said let there be Light, and there was Light," he sees the Compass in new light; and for the first time he sees the meaning, thus unmistakably alluding to the sacred and eternal truth that as the Heavens are higher than the Earth, so the spiritual is higher than the material, and the spiritual in man must have its proper place, and should be above his lower nature, and dominate all his thoughts and actions. That eminent Philosopher, Edmund Burke, once said, "It is ordained that men of intemperate passions cannot be free. Their passions forge the chains which bind them, and make them slaves." Burke was right. Masonry, through the beautiful symbolism of the Compass, tells us how we can be free men, by permitting the spiritual within us to overcome our evil tendencies, and dominate all our thoughts and actions. Brethren, sometimes in the silent quiet hour, as we think of this conflict between our lower and higher natures, we sometimes say in the words of another, "Show me the way and let me bravely climb to where all conflicts with the flesh shall cease. Show me that way. Show me the way up to a higher plane where my body shall be servant of my Soul. Show me that way."

Brethren, if that prayer expresses desire of our hearts, let us take heed to the beautiful teachings of the Compass, which silently and persistently tells each one of us,

 

"You should not in the valley stay

While the great horizons stretch away

The very cliffs that wall you round

Are ladders up to higher ground.

And Heaven draws near as you ascend,

The Breeze invites, the Stars befriend.

All things are beckoning to the Best,

Then climb toward God and find sweet Rest.”

 

The secrets of Freemasonry are concerned with its traditional modes of recognition. It is not a secret society, since all members are free to acknowledge their membership and will do so in response to enquiries for respectable reasons. Its constitutions and rules are available to the public. There is no secret about any of its aims and principles. Like many other societies, it regards some of its internal affairs as private matters for its members. In history there have been times and places where promoting equality, freedom of thought or liberty of conscience was dangerous. Most importantly though is a question of perspective. Each aspect of the craft has a meaning. Freemasonry has been described as a system of morality, veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols. Such characteristics as virtue, honour and mercy, such virtues as temperance, fortitude, prudence and justice are empty clichés and hollow words unless presented within an ordered and closed framework. The lessons are not secret but the presentation is kept private to promote a clearer understanding in good time. It is also possible to view Masonic secrecy not as secrecy in and of itself, but rather as a symbol of privacy and discretion. By not revealing Masonic secrets, or acknowledging the many published exposures, freemasons demonstrate that they are men of discretion, worthy of confidences, and that they place a high value on their word and bond.

Gallows and gibbest cast long shadows in the collective memory of Londoners. Executions regularly featured in popular culture including plays, books, games and Punch and Judy shows. Part of London's street entertainment enjoyed by generations of children and adults, the Punch and Judy story traditionally involved the executioner arriving to punish Punch for domestic violence only to himself be tricked into sticking his head in the noose. In the era of public hangings such dark humour had particular relevance to the audience.

In 1849 Charles Dickens wrote about the impact of this form of street entertainment on Londoners:

'In my opinion the street Punch is one of those extravagant reliefs from the realities of life which would lose its hold upon the people if it were made moral and instructive. I regard it as quite harmless in its influence, and as an outrageous joke which no one in existence would think of regarding as an incentive to any kind of action or as a model for any kind of conduct. It is possible, I think, that one secret source of pleasure very generally derived from this performance...is the satisfaction the spectator feels in the circumstance that likenesses of men and women can be so knocked about, without any pain or suffering.*

  

From the exhibition

 

Executions

(October 2022 – April 2023)

 

Exploring how public executions shaped Londoners’ lives and the city’s landscape in a major exhibition.

Public executions were a major part of Londoners’ lives for centuries.

From Smithfield to Southwark, from Banqueting House to Newgate Prison, executions became embedded in London’s landscape from the 12th century right through to the 19th. Even today, hints of this uncomfortable past can still be seen across the capital.

The Museum of London Docklands brought the rarely told and often tragic human stories behind these events to a new exhibition. Executions showcased a range of fascinating objects, paintings and projections, including the vest said to have been worn by King Charles I when he was executed, a recreation of the Tyburn gallows with an immersive projection, last letters of the condemned, and much more. Many of the items on display had rarely been seen in public.

"This museum was designed to show visitors this type of "making things, through the textile machinery and automobile industries with which the Toyota Group has been involved, and to show the transitions in industry and technology."

 

"As many as 4000 exhibition pieces - dynamic displays of original equipment, actual demonstrations by operators, instructive videos, and more. Our exhibitions provide an easy-to-understand introduction to the concept of “making things.” Experience “making things” first hand and discover the wonders of “spirit of being studious and creative.”

Instructive graffiti on the streets of Reykjavik

The carpets of Kashmir are world renowned for two things - they are hand made and they are always knotted, never tuffted.It is extremely instructive to watch a carpet being made.Stretched tightly on a frame is the warp of Carpet.The weft threads are passed through, the talim or design and color specifications are then worked out on this, a strand of yarn is looped through the warp & weft, knotted and then cut.

 

The yarn used normally is sillk,Wool & Silk or Wool mix. Woollen carpets always have a cotton base, silk usually have cotton base.Sometimes however, the base is also silk in which case you will see the that the fringesis silk;the cost increases proportionately.

 

Carpet weaving in Kashmir was not originally indigenous but is thought to have come in by way of Persia.Till today most designs are distinctly Persian with local variations.But one example, however, of a typical Kashmiri design is the tree of life.The colors of Kashmiri carpets are more subtle and muted than elsewhere in the country, only chemical dyes are used - vegetable dyes have not been available now for hundred years.

 

The knotting of carpets is the most important aspect, determining its durability and value, in addition to its design.Basically, the more knots per square inch,the greater its value and durability.Also there are single and double knotted carpets.

Public Meeting speakers 2G Spectrum Scam: .

Corporate Stranglehold Over Democracy? noted Supreme Court Lawyer. The Unfolding Nexus of Corporates-Politicians-Media Barons PJL Litigant m2G Spectrum Scam .

Business Editor, Tehelk.a.

.

As more and more information regarding the massive 2G Spectrum scam comes to light, it is now evident that this systematic loot of national resources took place with the active collusion of not just the Telecom Ministry and A Raja. In fact. a thick wire of corruption in this wireless 'revolution' connects an entire range of corporates, media barons, and the highest echelons in the power corridor-typically symbolising the nee-liberal regime of loot which our Mr. Clean Manmohan Singh is credited to have ushered in. .

It is instructive to see what the telecom scam -and the resultant loss to the public exchequer -means to the people of this country. The amount lost -Rs 1,76,379 crore-is 3% of our GOP. When the Food Security Bill was mooted. there was a hue and cry on part of the corporate class and its ideologues about the fate of India's fiscal deficit as a result of the 'burden' im-posed by the subsidy. Now it emerges that with the amount lost due to the scam in telecom, we could have cleared halfof the country's fiscal deficit! .

The amount lost due to the scam Is: 4 times the NREGA's annual budget; 4 times this year"s education budget; it is more even than lnd1a's entire whop-ping defence budget this year; it is roughly the same amount that would be required to ensure education for all for next five years (as per the estimates of National insti-tute for Educational Planning and Administration, NIEPA); it is more than the total amount that would be required to universalise food security (i e provide 35 kg of foodgrains at Rs 3 per kg to all Indian households); it is double the Union budget for infrastructure spending this year. .

How the Scam Was Worked .

.

The CAG report on the scam shows how procedures were blatantly manipulated to unfairly benefit certain companies, granting them 2G spectrum -a national asset -at throwaway prices. In the first place, the 2G spectrum was not auctioned but was instead allocated on a 'First-Come-First-Served' (FCFS) basis for a mere As 1,651 crore each. In comparison, auction of 3G spectrum earlier this year fetched Rs. 67,71 0 crore each. Moreover, even the FCFS procedure was tampered with to 'fix' the match in favour of certain companies! .

Further some of the companies which bagged the Spec-trum allotment for a mere As. 1651 crore. did not have any prior experience in the business of mobile phone and then within a matter of six months sold off shares to for-eign companies at the prevailing market rate making at least 700% return on their 'investment' I Swan, a front for Reliance sold to a Dubai-based company Etisalat, and Unitech, an Indian real estate company with no interests in telecom, sold to Telenor of Norway. .

Congress Cover-Up and Complicity of the PMO .

.

Not only did the Congress remain a silent spectator as this loot was being orchestrated, it has now come to light .

Abhishek Kr. Yadav, Vice-President, AISA, JNU that no less than Prime Minster Manmohan Singh had 'assured' the Telecom Ministry that it would be free to allot the 2G Spectrum as it wished, with no interferences from the Empowered Group of Ministers! For several months. the Congress paid no heed to the evidence on large-scale corruption, and allowed Raja to continue with his ways. But Congress' continuous cover-up game does not end here. .

Earlier this September, thumbing its nose at widespread opposition and furore, the PM and Home Minister went aread with the appointment of telecom secretary P J Thomas as the eve. Not only does Thomas have a criminal charge-sheet on the Palmolein import scandal of 1992 in Kerala pending against him; as the telecom secretary under RaJa. he had objected to inquiries by the CVC and the CAG into the allotment of 2G Spectrum licences. By promoting such a person to the crucial post of CVC, the UPA has only made it abundantly clear that it wishes to misuse the institution of CVC to sabotage 2G spectrum scam probe. .

Crony Capitalism .

In the wake of scam revelations. neoliberal commenta-tors in the media have tried to defend the 'clean PM' (or, in the case of CWG. 'clean Shiela Dixit') as opposed to corrupt ind1vidualleaders like Kalmadi or Chavan and allies like DMK. They nave deliberately tried to shift focus from on the main actors in the corruption drama -the CEOs and corporations themselves who benefit from these scams -choosing in-stead to focus on individual politicians. And there is a careful 'see no evil' policy regarding the nee-liberal economy itself. .

.

The reason for th1s was once more shamefully revealed by the Niira Radia tapes, which exposed the nexus of the corporate media, corporate business houses and ruling class parties. These tapes show how the so-called ·tree' and ·fair' media of Barkha Dutts and Vir Sanghvis actually take dictation from business houses when they float their 'stories', extend their services to influence cabi-net formation and even dictate policy decisions at the behest of the corporates' ! .

.

What the corporate media and the nee-liberal intellectu-als will never reveal is that cronyism and corruption is inbuilt into liberalization, which was ushered in by Manmohan Singh himself in the early 1990s. Liberalization dictates that scarce national and natural resources as well as public sector as-sets are to be privatized and handed over on a platter to corporate to exploit for their own profit. In this process, it is nothing but corruption, bribes or cronyism (closeness to a particular Minister, for e.g) that decides which cor-porate gets which resource! No wonder the era of liberal-ization has time and again seen bigger and. bigger loot of such resources. .

AISA appeals to the student community to participate in a public meeting tonight (Nov 24l11) at Sutlej mess from .

9.30 pm onwards where implications of the 2G Spectrum scam tor democracy in India will be discussed. .

To Miss Natalie Ann Petty, 221 Park Avenue, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

From Erma E?, London

 

Have completed a motor trip of 1 week through England, Scotland and Wales and am now in London for a week. Most delightful and instructive. Among the many interesting experiences has been our visit to the Wadsworth and Shakespeare country. Your steamer card was lovely and added a lot of joy to my trip. Many thanks.

These men knew how to live!

A stunnung property with impressive houses and a beautiful park-like garden!

 

during an impressive, entertaining and instructive visit of the Edison & Ford Winter Estates, Fort Myers, Florida.

It was a great time there and I enjoyed every minute!

A Roman inscription in Chellah which I enjoyed, since it shows two scripts - one a proper stone-carver's script with carved serifs, the other a brush-stroke calligraphic style which really doesn't belong on stone. The contrast is instructive; yin and yang, chisel and brush, angle and curve.

“WE ARE THE CITIZENS OF THE WORLD WHICH CONSISTS OF ONLY ONE RACE THE HUMAN RACE”.

 

PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE :

 

Dear esteemed Parents & Guardians,

 

We may have different religions. Different languages, different coloured skin but we all belong to one Human Race.

 

The most confused we ever get is when we try to convince our heads of something. Our hearts know is a lie.

 

The two most important days in our life are the day we are born and the day we find out why? Silence is the best answer to someone who doesn’t value our words.

 

Consider this; Jesus became one of us and lived our life in order to experience our death. So that he could break the power of death. Our nation is the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history the grandmother of legend and the great – grandmother of tradition.

 

Our most valuable and most instructive materials in the history of man are treasured up in our nation.

Strength lies in differences not in similarities.

 

Let us remember that we must learn to live together as brothers and sisters or perish together as fools.

"This museum was designed to show visitors this type of "making things, through the textile machinery and automobile industries with which the Toyota Group has been involved, and to show the transitions in industry and technology."

 

"As many as 4000 exhibition pieces - dynamic displays of original equipment, actual demonstrations by operators, instructive videos, and more. Our exhibitions provide an easy-to-understand introduction to the concept of “making things.” Experience “making things” first hand and discover the wonders of “spirit of being studious and creative.”

Girls kickboxing Very instructive

Some pictures from a Lighting Workshop I had the opportunity to assist at TYE studios.

Very fun and instructive

On a personal level, zoos make me cringe, no matter how good the animals are looked after...but I cannot deny the fact, that taking my boys there was a terrific and instructive experience (for them...) !

This is one of five paintings I did in four days to force myself to leave them in a rough state, since peole seemed to be interested in that. They were instructive but I prefer a more refined outcome. If you want to see the others, all five are in a set called One Day Paintings.

I know so little about the Japanese language, Literally, I am seldom sure which way is up!

 

Japanese kanji-based work book or diary, log...an artifact from the estate of a Japanese-American intelligence officer on MacArthur's staff.

 

No idea if this is something instructive, for his staff, or perhaps something captured. Or is it a diary?

 

Can anyone even tell me what this is?

  

the pedestal tells you the story of how the obelisk was transported

The Tower of London is famous for housing the Crown Jewels and a great deal of bloody history and intrigue. Less famous but fabulously intriguing and instructive is the 650 year old Jewel Tower in the Westminster precint.

 

This beautifully detailed plate is said to have been the property of Henry VIII. It is claimed that when there was a fire in Westminster Henry had all his good bits evcacuated to the Jewel Tower, including this plate.

 

His choice of a safe house was wise. The tower is stone-built and surrounded by a moat, now drained. There is an helical staircase rising up four floors. Oddly it has a sinistral rotation. Conventional logic dictates that it ought to be dextral. In this case the narrow radius of the walls and the irregularity of the step spacings meant that an intruder could not raise his broadsward to strike a blow without being impeded by the wall behind, and nor could he run easily up the irregular steps.

 

So fireproof and secure was the Jewel Tower that James I, Iago Rex by his initials on the door's lock escutheon, installed an iron door in 1621 on a chamber to be used as an archive for the proceedings of the Parliament. A much wiser choice than modern, digital pretenders to archives.

From the museum label: These abstract works – an oil pastel on paper and an oil painting on canvas – share a similar composition: a blue void surrounded by a series of folds in modulated tones. Though O'Keeffe turned increasingly to oil paint after moving to New York in 1918, she continued to develop her technique in pastel, which she found to be an instructive corollary. In pastel she achieved smooth gradations of color by using her fingers to rub pigment into paper, an effect she achieved in oil by blending with a brush.

Link to other paintings from the exhibition "Georgia O’Keeffe - To See Takes Time".

This map doesn’t really work for me, because I root against baseball in general. But Cheng’s “What team should you root for?” map is instructive in how geography doesn’t necessarily equal community, at least in our modern, mobile world. To move

the comparison over to the NFL, the two football fans in our office are a Pittsburg Steelers fan from Tennessee and a Dallas Cowboys fan from South Carolina (me). But

geographic proximity does have an effect: “I had someone confirm to me that there are a lot of Atlanta Braves fans in Tennessee, which I was completely unaware of,” Cheng said of this map.

Back in 1983, I seemed to be one of the few people in my company, east of Toronto, who knew how to use Visicalc.

 

And with that, a career was born.

 

The image for today's quote comes from this weekend. We were in my original home province of Nova Scotia, Canada, for an extended family reunion - over 90 of us from my mom's ancestry got together to share stories, reminisce, and catch up. After the event, my family and I spent some time touring around Halifax and the region and briefly found ourselves in the wonderful town of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia - originally a fishing village established in 1753, and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

 

Off in the distance in the image, by the arrow, is one of the fish processing plants for Highlighter Sea Foods, one of many in this particular region of the world. This was, back in the early 80s, one of my clients, then known as National Sea Products. (You might remember that my actual professional background is that of a Chartered Accountant, and now a CPA. I still carry the professional designation, but rarely use it.) Seeing the plant in the distance, I was reminded of how a unique set of circumstances involving that company helped to light the fuse that led me on the path to where I find myself today.

 

Way back in late 1982, as I was very early into my career, I found myself immersed in the then fast-moving world of personal computer technology, diving into online systems that were the then precursor to the Internet; database programs such as dBase II, and spreadsheet software such as VisiCalc and later, Lotus-1-2-3. Most of this was occurring at the end of the work day, late into the night, as I developed a compelling need to understand what was happening with this new and at the time, very revolutionary technology - and trying to figure out how it might apply to my professional accountancy designation.

 

At the same time, there was a very complex situation unfolding in eastern Canada, as several major fish processing companies were brought together in a bit of a forced merger due to market conditions. The 'bigwig' investment banker types were coming down from Toronto to our Halifax office to work through the deal, and since I was the only guy within thousands of miles who knew his way around a spreadsheet, I was brought onto the team to crunch the numbers for multiple different merger/takeover scenarios. Working through the day and late into many evenings for well over a month, I began to discover that there might be career opportunities unfolding in this nascent technology world!

 

With that, my career transition from a CA/CPA to a technology-focused consultant and eventually, a speaker and a futurist, was well underway. I didn't know at the time that the circumstances that I found myself in at that very moment would be life-defining - you never do! But I do vividly remember that I found this world of technology to be tremendously exciting, compared to the vibrancy of the accountancy profession of which I was a member. (LOL!)

 

After I took the Lunenburg picture Sunday night, I met yesterday with my good friend Bill Cowper - he's a retired Halifax police officer, who befriended me many years ago on Facebook as my speaking and writing career unfolded. It turns out that he lives just below the Airbnb property we had rented over the weekend - he recognized one of the pictures I posted of our glorious view of St. Margaret's Bay. (Bill and I believe we might have briefly met in rather 'interesting' circumstances around 1980 when I was working on the stage crew for KISS (true story!) and he was a Halifax cop. That's a whole other story)

 

And to the point of today's post - you never know how the most unlikely of circumstances might lead to the most unlikely of results!

 

Yesterday, Bill shared with me the profound impact that my early Internet books, media appearances, newspaper columns, and keynotes had on his career. At the time my first book came out, he was on medical leave with the Halifax Police Department. Intrigued by what my book covered, and fascinated in the same way by the world of technology, he transitioned from being a cop on the beat and a drug detective, into someone who was also focused on a career with technology. He served 31 years with the Halifax Regional Police (HRP), working as a narcotics detective on high-profile drug trafficking cases.

 

But he too was convinced something big was happening in the 90s, and fully immersed himself in the technology world. Over time, he earned the nickname "Sergeant Internet" for his cybersecurity efforts, as well as his pioneering efforts involving in-patrol car computers and GPS and other technologies. Later on, he developed the first computer crime course for police officers, spoke within the industry about the marriage of technology and policing, and developed an entire career path that followed the trajectory of connectivity. (Later on, in an even more fascinating career transition, he led the corporate security team at the Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation (NSLC) for 15 years, managing their transition into legal cannabis sales!)

 

In a very touching note that he sent to me last night after, he commented:

 

"As I mentioned during our brief encounter, I've long considered you a mentor and hero, even though you may not have been aware of it. Your work, particularly your first Canadian Internet Handbook, subsequent books, posts, and articles was nothing short of transformative for me during a pivotal moment in my life."

 

I am so deeply touched. But what he writes here is instructive guidance for all of us when fast-moving circumstances might provide us with a path that we need to chase.

 

"Back in 1994, I found myself at a crossroads. A broken leg and ankle threatened to derail my career as a patrol Sergeant. Little did I know that this setback would lead me down an exciting new path, guided in part by your visionary work.

 

While convalescing, I immersed myself in the world of technology, exploring bulletin boards and watching in awe as the internet began to take shape. Your book was among the first I purchased during this time, and it became a beacon, illuminating the possibilities that lay ahead in the digital realm.

 

What is the common story that is to be found here? Both Bill and I found ourselves at unique inflection points in our lives - a moment at the crossroads of one potential pathway that might lead to another. Both of us took the leap, plunged right in, and chased an opportunity. In my case, it was to be found in the brand-new world of connectivity and personal computer software; in Bill's case, it was the Internet and tech.

 

That's why you should always remember that the most unlikely circumstances can always lead to the most unlikely results! That little inconsequential project that you might be working on at this very moment might seem small and irrelevant, but maybe what you are doing is the stepping stone to something bigger. It might be the case that some personal project that captures your interest in a way that your corporate or professional career does not is the thing you are meant to do. It could very well be the situation that the buzz of excitement that you found with some new emerging trend is the catalyst that should spur you on to chase great change.

 

Never for a moment doubt the potential opportunities that might be directly in front of you.

 

After all, the decision to chase the future became the key decision that redefined my life, and that of my friend Bill Cowper.

 

Always, onwards!
