"There's been a growing interest around the USA storytelling in leadership. Over the last few years in fact I've talked about storytelling leadership here on this show. And past episodes and how leaders can utilize this communication tool to increase engagement and productivity amongst their employees however just as we see in TV shows and movies when it comes to the storytelling in leadership. It's important for us to recognize that there's many different types of stories leader should have in their leadership toolkit to help inspire motivate and form and provide guidance and direction to those under their care and to help us better understand what those different types of stories are. Is this episode guest. Paul Smith follow is one of the world's leading experts in business storytelling. In fact Paul has personally interviewed over two hundred fifty CEOS executives leaders and sales people in twenty five countries documenting over two thousand individuals stories there which he's identified the components of effective storytelling.

Learning What Stories To Tell To Drive Success
"Hi Paul Welcome to the show. Hey thanks for having me on them. I'm happy to be here so Paul I have to tell you. I was very intrigued by the premise of your book. Which I'm sure comes as no surprise to my listeners. As I've not only used storytelling in some of my episodes to help illustrate an idea or insight but in episode forty six my show. I shared three keys to effective storytelling. And for those interested. I'll be sure to include links to those past episodes in the show notes but in the title of Your Book. You point out how there are in fact ten stories that every leader should be ready to us and tell if they want to be successful so before we explore a few of them a great place to start here would be if you could share a brief overview of what these. Ted Different stories are. Paul Yeah Shera. And I'm certainly not claiming these are the only ten stories in fact I hope I make a point somewhere in there that in fact just the opposite you need a lot more stories in these in an in my previous books. I think I'd covered hundreds of different types of stories That my my goal here was an attempt for people who are just getting started in the storytelling space or wanting to use storytelling You know where should I start? What are the most important ten stories franny leader to tell so? Certainly not the only but I think these are probably a good list of the most important ones So yes for the ten. The first four go together because they're about setting direction for the organization so here those are where we came from. So that's our founding story why we can't stay there so that's a case for change story where we're going which is a vision story and how we're GONNA get there which is a strategy store because strategies about how you're going to get from where you are now to where you want to be so if you can tell those stories well. I think you've got a much better chance of getting the organization to go where you want them to go case the next forego together as well but they're more about who we are as an organization. So that's what we believe. The corporate values story who we serve set a customer story a story about the customer so that everyone at the organization can have a personal visceral understanding of of WHO. You're working for what we do for our customers. So that's a classical sales story or customer success story and then number eight is how we're different from our competitors so I call that a marketing story because marketings generally about differentiating yourself from your competitors and then the that leads to more and they kind of go together as well but there are more personal to you the leader. So that's why I lead the way I do. That's a personal leadership philosophy story and why you should want to work here so like not not you. But whoever you're talking to right so I caught a recruiting story. So you'll notice a number of different kind of functional type stories here but these are definitely not just stories for those functional leaders. I think every leader Regardless of function needs to be able to tell this at least this Saturday ten stories now Paul would like to do is explore a few of these types of stories that you just described of course some of them. I've already explored in past episodes for example episode thirty one which was the first edition of Leadership Espresso shot explored this idea of using stories to communicate a larger vision. So what I'd like to do with you. Today is discussed some of these types of stories that many of us probably haven't even thought about in terms of how we lead and the first one is the story type. You call why I lead the way. I do which is essentially using a story that helps illustrate our leadership philosophy or approach her style now. Unlike a story we create to help us explain the change initiative or an ambitious vision or long-term plan. This one might not seem as a parent in terms of Bove when we needed or even how we use it so when in our work week Paul does this kind of story come into play and how does it help us improve the way we lead. Yeah great question. So this story would be used or not This type of story. I should say because I think most leaders need more than one leadership philosophy story you need at least one but probably several and the most frequent Or commonplace you would use this. Anti uses is when you're on boarding new direct report. Where whether so? That's whether you've got a new employees working for you and you just need to introduce them to your leadership philosophy in your leadership style or you are new. You've taken a new job and then everybody who works for you of course is new to you And those are the situations where you need to set expectations of the organization or the people of what leadership to expect from you and also what kind of leadership you expect from them. And the way I've seen most people do this in the past which is really frustrating as they they have this list you know they they lay on you as if it some profound You know list that says something like my leadership. Philosophy has got a bunch of buzzwords on it and much of bullet points and the kind of thing that most of us could probably say about ourselves or anybody else. I I prefer to focus on. Value added You leadership exercises and I prefer to be disciplined in my approach and in a whatever but it's the kind of thing that anybody could say about themselves. These stories are going to be very unique though. They're basically going to be examples of times in your career where you've either made leadership mistake or or made a great leadership decision or exhibited great leadership behavior or saw someone else exhibit. Great Leadership Behavior or leadership mistake. That just changed your thinking about what great leadership is and made you the leader that you are today. So those types of stories are far more meaningful to people in helping set expectations of what kind of leadership to expect from you and and to give them a concrete idea of what that might look like. It's interesting how as you were just described Paul particularly about how it's clarifying expectations. Both in terms of what we expect from others and what employees should expect from us as it got me thinking about some of the stories. I've shared a pass leaders worked with and how in many ways these stories were a perfect vehicle to illustrate their leadership. Style or philosophy that in sharing this story about how these leaders operated it was as much a teachable lesson on leadership as it was a glimpse into how they viewed leadership and what made them so good about it. Yeah I think so so. You're not only telling them what to expect from you. You're teaching them a leadership lesson Presumably you've the store you choose to share would be an example that would teach somebody a good leadership style right so Yeah it helps them learn how to be a better leader as well

"You along with remote viewer Paul Smith Paul Ingle swan invited you to examine the dark side of the moon tell me what that was how how that originated and then what finally happened it was really pretty interesting in fact I was hoping we talk about this tonight the see my desk is just covered with papers I bet I'm remote viewing and I can see him everywhere there you go but mother when you have a hole in your left sock how may soon as hope you would figure this out yeah I tell people my desk looks like an explosion and a paper factory anyway so who yeah I back in nineteen ninety four angle do you recall any says I'd like you to do a project for me of course you know you have to be blind isn't tell me what the project was an and sometime later I got a cordon it from him it was a kind of a weird cornice because it doesn't look like your standard you know space cornet it was so it is a remote viewing and turns out he had me remote viewing the far side of the moon is a project that Ingle was working on the asked me to work on it and another guy who who I can't toast only ms is first name is Richard N. engl call this project moon drop this was his project well sort of he'd gotten he gotten some if he actually had been ask someone to do this but it wasn't a tasking or anything in in hiring but somebody who is in a position to know about some anomalies on the moon given some photos and and talk to about it and suggested you do a project on Ansel's included that because we worked on it and apparently there's there were some photos those five moon the dark side that we're really odd and the did they give us a call with only of features or something like that right and we're talking about now so people who call Matt and sold they didn't know what they were so the this one person or maybe is a couple of them figured Ingle might you know with remote viewing might be able to give some information this course in the fall one this was in nineteen ninety four back in nineteen eighty four in going actually done a project he brought in for other viewers and it was a observed by the by the currently the dean of the remote viewing community Stanley crypt occurrences wife doctor Janet Mitchell whose prominent in the early research willingness one where he and he in these I'm sorry I got I got the computers that was it earlier project it is against bars I may have to tell you about that but but the service were an eagle as Wilson for other people to remote view and they essentially a dress to the the famous GPL photographs of Mars in which there appear to be artifacts and structures and things on the surface of the planet use the same ones that Richard Hoagland made famous so go so that was actually that was in the you're probably familiar with his book penetration the one well yeah just mention that you mentioned earlier that's right so so there was a chapter that was originally meant to go with the penetration of belt this Mars project and I've mentioned here but it but for some reason ingo does not put it in there and it was recently found after he died is his family was going through all of this the papers and fell this chapter will there's a new addition of penetration out in which that chapter on Mars is in there along with the disk discussion of Stanley triggers Roland earlier project he's paying a debt and talk me public near our home is Ingle regarding his best ever student I wish I could have that on her but I don't Tom was a better student of me I guess anyway Talbot near about this parsing so what happened there is there the GPO photos and they were both viewed that and produce some interesting results this was a similar kind of a deal were you barely had photos of these not apparently because I have one of them actually have photos of anomalies on the far side of the moon and so we got together small team of himself and me and this guy named Richard to remote view it and there were some really bizarre things that came out of that again you know I don't roll they looked on officials in but not just with artificial there was read you something here in a minute that one of my sessions I I can't tell you a lot about this project because I don't have permission I can talk about the stuff I did that I got from it but I can't tell you much more about what in your Richard did or or is it the thing in all of the background because it's it I don't know that and I'd have to get permission for the family to to talk about it but I can tell you what I did so is there a bunch of there were a lot of really interesting correspondences between my sessions and ingo sessions and but worse such sessions that we worked independently not having any connection with each other we worked those and then later on the use of those folks copies of each other's work and looking through there it's just amazing some of the similarities between them sketches were some were interpretations are similar I kind of thing so what I got out of it was a so all of us like I can say this much I think all of us described a a large underground cavern that had been partially it partially natural in on the surface of the earth needed to sort of the axis will service moon but it was under the moon surface part was national but as had been developed and and and modified by apparently some intelligence entity someone you know intelligent interests are what I want from people because we are what they are hi this is so some kind of life for some kind of life for the year and the so let's see how I'm trying to find a girl the electricity to all these I mean did you see like tall structures and things like that when you do those are the ones I got were subterranean subterranean really is so I know are thinking penetration he talked about some skyscraper type building standing here and there I didn't pick up on any of that and neither do they in their sessions so it may be that there are different places that you know that he he he research store looked if you will I don't know but this one so there's a sub sub Sheila subterranean actual refers to below the surface of the earth right so so blue and sub sub lunarian I don't know so polluter space was actually occupied in my session infected if I can I can reach you very shortly for my summary if your game okay adviser I am Christian of the huge dark cavern under the base of the towering sharp cliff this dark we searched recess is not empty there is a sense of an object presence being back inside it sporadically moves closer to the entrance and receipts back deeper it seems at one of the same time to be essentially machine like but yet where in some way which you know that makes me think maybe some kind of artificial intelligence yes very high intellicast it seems like it knew I was there and wasn't happy that I was there he has a remote viewer yeah its sense your remote viewing that's interesting there was interest in you know I generally people make claims of being detected as a site with the remote viewing and I I'm skeptical about that but I seem to have that kind of an experience I have been through the stuff in years and and it's very interesting so a going to talk about that but there's a there's one other one I wanted to address I am certainly surprised and startled by an object that sales out of the cave passing close over my head then climbing at an angle up into the sky moving rapidly without sound courses in airless surface tional moon does Eminem sphere so wouldn't do it with it would be without sound dragon shuttle on the ground along behind it and as it passes it emanates a sense of aggravation and annoyances is disturbed and put out by my own welcome visits so fascinating this is it will this is very interesting to go back and revisit this after after all these years and see the experiences I'm having here again I can't tell you how how real it is I don't know if it's true but I'll tell you what if it is true and and this is not something I would call I consciously made up I mean I just in center and think what kind of a wild story to tell I was doing the session in this stuff just came into my mind again you don't think you just go with water what is this so you know I I I don't I once he was the greatest greatest fault but I also don't want to dismiss it because I think it seems that there might be something to this right any idea who constructed this tunnel you know and and you know we I did I think three sessions on this it was mostly exploratory so we didn't get into those deep questions in go in his final communication to me says of your your sessions of the I've sent you the ones from myself and from there we go that works at and on a and I think that we've had some real success here and I anticipate that this will go this project will last for at least a year and perhaps even with some funding he said for the most the coming less than coming from some some place with deep pockets right now I never we never did any more on that so apparently what he was hoping to achieve didn't occur but it would have been very interested to see where this would be gone had we really indeed have a year to spend on it and then collected a lot more information on on these particular targets all told me how this my tie in to the question of the tease and the fact that the something could be there well the fact is if it turns out to be true and it got I guess the really the only way to know is actually goes to go and then we got a hope they tell us it yet so there's two questions that we have to go there then they have to be open to it right up although in the meantime maybe one day answer ET's will be answered it will be solved law because otherwise who knows but yeah so obviously these things are real it was they were not created by humans they obviously early spike earthly human rights so it's not like we were there two million years ago or something no it well you know what it is I guess is logically possible occurred because of that the case but the odds of a that being the case are pretty darn slim I think you agree that yes that humans from earth were there two million years ago part pretty slim pretty slim chance but unless we have high tech society that got blown up or destroyed or something who knows yes of course that's that's a favorite theme in science fiction is that there were advanced civilizations on earth and then there were cataclysm sore or or they killed each other off or something and we start over from scratch you know every every you know fifty thousand years you would start over again because the near the White themselves that or something right but and you can't rule it out who knows right now no skeptic it's a yes you can rule it out also in the camp we don't know enough about the.

"You, you know, in in particular. He's been on the show several times, I've been to some of his events and conferences, I I'm fascinated with the way he's trying to communicate with the other side. Yeah. He's doing some fascinating work with medium ship that I think is really a cutting edge sharia, you know, that. You know, the, you know again. I think that's I I've sort of gone into the realm of remote viewing for similar reasons is traditional remote viewing or or something different. Absolutely. I learned controlled remote viewing from the military remote viewers from Paul Smith and lend Buchanan good people learned their protocol. Taught numerous men in prison to remote, view, and remote viewing. I know doesn't it to me. It's exact same processes, medium ships. What we learn is that this world is based on information, and we can access that information. If we can get our ego out of the way, if we can find that source of wisdom within us. We see it, of course, at the point of dying. Because obviously our ego is gone as part of dying. And then what's leftover, you know, as a child is a young girl once told me she said, but some part of me was still alive. And then that part CS what the universe is really like, you know, I just love the way children. Explain it. He told me of his experience of this young man who survived cardiac arrest, he said, it was a real Dr Morris. It was really or than real is is a childrens d e different than in adults or the hit is different. Yes, they're very simple. They're very brief. And they're very powerful. And they don't have you know, they don't go into the tremendous detail that adults have they, you know. The child realize what it is. And that's the fun part about having actually been able to interview these children myself, George is because a lot of times they don't in that to me really creates. You know, the validates the experience, for example, one girl. She suffered a liver failure. Oh, jeez. And I had to put a needle in her heart to resuscitate or so that's near death. And her brain is not functioning at all, you know, going back to your earlier question about whether this could be an experience of of a dying brain by this point, her her brain is not functioning. And but she was successfully resuscitate it. And afterwards. She tells me the for grandmother was there, and she looks at me. And she goes I was just so shocked to see her. She said it was so weird. She was sitting there. I was you know in the bed, and she was smiling at me, and she was surrounded by this light. And then she says to me. And then I was back. And I said, well, what do you mean that you were back and she clinches for fist together. And she goes that's what I'm trying to figure out. So so they have that sort of, you know, the innocence of it, you know, that it's very unexpected to them. Melvin what do you think the dying process is? Anyway, I think that the near death experience is the dying process. I think that, you know, like, well, you know, Raymond has told me many times, Raymond moody that he wished that he had never called it the near death experience. But he did he coined the phrase stay with us. We're going to take a quick break. Melvin then we'll come back and talk more in then we'll take phone calls next hour.

"It walks a fine line between maximalism and hoarding. Parts of it looked like an outsider art exhibition. But is so cool. It's full of all these things that people have sent you in the mail Karez one. Do that has sent you all these things like chairs with stamps on it or or boards, and you know, amazing things like a chair or a ski. But they're never in a box the stamps are actually only actual article. And it's amazing service. Still still somehow gets. Yeah. I know so watch the joy of it. Honestly is the joy of it is there's no demand into in the greedy road and this world where everything so. Well, what you want? You know, what's this about, you know, there's no it's not about anything. He's just about doing something that's interesting or special. So that these absolutely correct.

Yeah. Well, and then John Paulson who's architect whose designs the most minimal spaces you could ever see they've both been to my room, neither of them had a heart attack miracle are they I think they were they use. Oh, this is interesting. Being polite. Other rooms are are actually surprisingly stark you'll have a room that only has like a chair. And I mean, we've got a four five whole building in. I'm on the top floor, and my room is absolutely full of things. But a lot of the things are sent by fans around the world where she's incredibly humbling lovely and special, but it's also a sort of a window into that you can be inspired by everything because stuff, I know, you go to vintage markets portabella road, all that stuff and are constantly finding stuff that that stuff always finds its way into. Right. Yeah. I mean, there's one man who's been sending me. A gift from Japan muchly, little rabbits, because you know, the story I read it. We're good luck for me. And now, I get a very large quantity of them. All the time. I should've said diamonds, obviously, I said of it. So stupid. In what he's listening. I really love diamonds. I collect jokey. But this guy sends me a gay from once a year, and they're all wrapped in that. Beautiful way. The Japanese rap. Fabric. Not the mother top. They just sits on my, you know, my table. And when you look at the pattern of of each one and the patent next to the patent and the patent next to the patent of the color next to that. Yeah. And then immediately you look that could be amazing trouser, and that could be an amazing shirt put them together at even more. Interesting fantastic. So. A lot of people look at their room. Maybe I don't know. I've never had this set to me. But I think they look at it and say, oh, it's hoarding or it's childish or something. But for me my opinion is childlike because on the difference is huge. About childlike entire enormous. Because you know, it was Picasso said. For instance, he's at yeah. Spent my life life still wanting to paint like a child because children not cluttered with education or with experience. They're still very honest and open, you know. If you ask them to draw a cat. They would just do to pointed things at the top around face in some whiskers, and it would be a cat. Yeah. Sure. It would be a calm, you know. And so sometimes when I look in my room. I just think why why did. And what do you design that, you know? And then you start thinking, well, actually, it just feel amazing in your hand all the colors together a fantastic. So.

"Well, the thing is I had the strong connection with with France. And and a lot of the architecture is really amazing with an auto decker influence sometimes. So if you walk along a street in Hanoi, you look up the architectures fantastic. You look on the ground floor is absolutely mad plastic fronted fruit shop souvenir shop, and it's hideous and kitsch. But I mean that goes back to influence again. So you could have the much beautiful cashmere suit in navy blue. But with a really kick shirt, so you know, like, a Hawaiian shirt and some tennis shoe. So again that could be it could be an influence by just observing something really bad taste with something. Beautiful. You know? Well, there's a there's a moment in that documentary where you like go, you go to some arcade or some it's like a carnival. And you're just like there's so many. Shirts so many designs here. Yeah. And it's a little kitschy, right? Yeah. Well, I've always loved kitsch in moderation. You know, where where you can just put. I mean, we work a lot on the word irreverence. Right. So just putting things together that you shouldn't really put together, and my my there's a suit to mine in the Victorian museum in London from AT to and it's a pinch Dr classic fabric. You know, the the financials used to wear in London in the sixties and fifties, but it's huge ape a bit like the crazy suit that David Byrne will Teleki Aquinas, not extremism, but outside really outside. But with a white t shirt and a pair of tennis shoes. Now nowadays, you say so what? But in eight hundred two was really interesting and different because it was a classic fabric. But in a big shape and then warm with tennis shoes and white teeth. Shirt sure is playing with opposites, and I just wish people would be would have more self expression. And they don't because the the too nervous about peer pressure. And what people think think of them, you know? So there's a lot less adventurous as they should be. Maybe you mentioned in the book, you can find inspiration and everything that you you present someone these ideas in hopes that younger designers will move away from what you call the disease of copying. Wh what did you mean by that? And how does it manifest itself? Well, yeah, I mean, the problem is that the the the world is moving so fast, and there's such a need to take money, especially if you're working for a company the that publicly quoted on the stock market, so the shareholders or would like more more more we need more profit. We need prophet so often you just turn to the lowest common denominator. You know? You just go like, for instance. Logo at the moment. Everything's you. You spend a lot of money on promotion, you get celebrity designer fashion show somewhere in the world, which is probably quite extreme. And then you put the name should be called mushrooms. Like a mantra, you know, it's like is the name over and over and over and over and over and just just a cop-out released. Just a fast bulk, you know, but I totally understand. Why people do it? It's just a bit disappointed. Really? So you you just would hope that when you the young designers would just try to be a bit more creative in their own rights boulder. I always think that designers are the have the most, and I'm talking about high fashion in a big house designers have the most stressful creative careers of all because they have to produce something that's supposedly artful and commercial again. And again, and again and as soon as they do. I mean, we've seen sadly how many people have fallen by the wayside. You know? We've we've seen LeBron Queen. Yeah. Took his own life. And we've seen the stress of Galliano we've and then we've seen so many of the design is move houses because the pressure from the CEO or whatever it is. You know? Wanting wanting more not being satisfied, we what the design is giving. So the pressure is enormous. And of course, the other thing is is used to be just two seasons. We used to sell some are springing Simone autumn winter now, it's holiday and pray, and you know, for we do fork lection year, but many the Browns due sakes, and then a lot of the fast fashion.

"Season. By celebrate life's memorable moments. I want to ask actually about the sort of ambitions of your aesthetic has I I do when I look back at it. I could see that you did have an influence in early influence in sort of feminizing. What would what one would think of as menswear definitely prints and things like that that I think in a lot of ways men are just now coming around to do did you see sixty seven. Well, when I my first shot that was seventy nine hundred seventy and what was interesting about those sixties is that really a lot of men were really finding themselves for the first time because in London, especially it was no sorry in the north of England, especially who is considerably feminine. If you even cared. How you looked if you did touch? Everybody's like what are you doing? You know, you'd have to be a lot more masculine because a lot of the trade were coal mining and things like, right? And and so eventually when. After the horror of war second generation after the war. Suddenly people started to be able to just be more self expressive. You know, they could just do their own thing. Bit graphic design music. Of course, the stones in sixty two with long hair, the Beatles. And then there was a whole Dundee sec in London, and there were mostly really upper-class guys. And they were making things out of the grandmas curtains like velvet, curtains and aid make Jackie to all the make. You know, a shirt Apsar some dress material or something like that. So it was as you say it was just a really big change in. And obviously, Mick Jagger in performance a lot later, you know, the movie and being blurt blurring the lines between gender, correct? Yeah. Yeah. I mean. Yes. I mean, myself, I did have a very feminine looker the time, you know, scarves, and flower show, long hair tight trousers, did you when did you start doing the kind of like a hidden secrets that are always in your clothes, just like linings with just you know, you look sometimes like a traditional suit, and then you look inside. And there's a go go girl inside or or bright pink or something. Yeah. That well that was when I started designing the clothes myself and early eighties. When polling was designing the first two or three Portsmouth collection. We've.

"And then when I was I think was about when I was about eighteen or nineteen I made made a pair of trousers for Jimmy page from the plane. Tell you. It's good because he he was only twenty four inch waist. I hardly used any fabrics. That was really good. I wanted to know first about when you did you opened up a shop in your town like nineteen seventy which is just like hard to hard to picture. You're you're all of like twenty four twenty four and a bit of a dandy very much, long hair and velvet jacket flowery shirts. The wonderful thing about England at that point around sixty six to seventy was self-expression through how you looked in sixty eight in Paris was the Paris riots with the students, and that was very physical very anger burning cars and manifestations. So they're self expression came through. Kind of rage. Yes. So it's just. Doing brute mo- brutal things whereas in England, you know, we we would just dressing silly. And he was self expression through you know, just looking differently. I think that was it was really creative time. So you started you and Pauline started designing your own clothes. Yeah. Because we studied sure fashion so that's really how to make clothes importance of making the beautifully. And then my wife, she then taught me literally home how to cope patterns, and we had machine home, and how to make things I mean, that's the original DIY. Yeah. Really was. And I used to work doing lots of freelance jobs. I could take photographs I worked for magazines like the face and arena as a photographer. I worked as a stylist. Worked as freelance designers for for talent company. So all that was really learning my trade, really. But the fantastic things was you could see a really good band that went on to be enormous bonds above a pub or in a very small venue. So I mean, I saw that playing, you know, just just, you know, small pub a in north London and the stones and how did you come to know Bowie? Well, from the age eighteen I used to go to bans I used to go to from Nottingham to London every Friday. And so you after Gino, I'd I'd I learnt to sell screen print, and I used to print few t shirts have them in my bag, and sawed Goto the gigs. And then if I was lucky to meet the band afterwards because there was no changing room. So the bunch just stopped. And then there was there would just get in the van and go. So i'd. Go up and say already the new album this and occasionally though, which I what do you do? And I I'm a designed to join a by teasha so busy. So basically, you're selling merch all Smith selling merch to Led Zeppelin. Yeah. And yeah. Show people Eric Clapton Jimmy and roadster in those early days when he was really amazing long. John Baudry wish wish us the name of the Bundy sang for and then eventually I started to I worked for this company in London made clothes for Rockstars. And saw got to know more of the Rockstars then. And then eventually, I my my London show in seventy nine and then one day. My little studio was upstairs and one day. There was a phone call saying a bit chaotic outside because David Bowie's just come in. And there were about six hundred fans at seen him come in. And I went down say Hello. And eventually, we just became friends. I invited him up to my room, which I think you've been to my crazy room with all books and want to talk about that crazy. Hey, I want to take a quick break here to thank moesha. And luckily, there's some great synchronicity here because mad influence features the personalities and performers who shape our culture focusing on moments that have mattered most to them we explore the artistic breakthroughs, the heart one discoveries that have helped forge legacies and define careers stuff.

So it's fitting that the season of Madden influence is presented by moesha who had stood for celebrations for over two hundred seventy five years as we examine the ingredients of some pretty unforgettable creative.

"Can go you go. Now, see you buy. So look I wanna I wanna go back. I I want to start with how you broke into the fashion world because you you really fell into it accidentally. Yeah. Yeah. And so I feel of interest bicycling you wanted to be a professional bicyclist. Yep. You're quite serious about it. And then you had a horrific accident. That's true. Yeah. That day. Well, twat each twelve to eighteen hours, a bike, rider and foolishly. I thought I could be a professional. I never would have made it because I wasn't brave Adolfo good enough. But hey, you know, dreams, right? And then I literally fell into fashion after a call or an I met the call one. I was in hospital for three months. So then a couple of the guys that were in the hospital at the same time as me one had a motorbike accident on a car accident and we used to search. We were all locked in twelve badges with traction and all sorts of things we call each other across the world. And we'll we'll let out at the same time prison. Now, we all were released from hospital the same time. So one of them said, oh, why don't we just meet up keep in touch? And luckily for me, one of the guys chose a pub in my hometown where the students went and slowly meeting few times talking to other people in the problem be talking to you. Oh, what did you do? I'm an architect you student. I'm a fashion student on a graphic design student and this world opened up to me. But it's interesting because immediately from that from that first time when you you're you know, you encounter that world. It's. Eclectic. It's designers artists. Right. Yeah. It was in hindsight. My father had a really lovely personality. Very charismatic. And so hopefully, I inherited a bit of his communication skills. And then he was an issue for toga. So from the age of eleven I'd bought he bought me a camera so start to take photographs and it was quite interesting. Those days when we'd take pictures now, it's normally with our iphone, and you just take twenty peaches and Dealey nineteen. But then when you it was with film, and you were looking through the tiny view-finder, they called it, and you had to really set up the picture, you know, with your eyes, and that really taught me to look and see and to really understand about what it was looking at were you drawn into this is the late sixties early seventies. Where you drawn into the like swinging London Carnaby. Street scene at all the actually I was very much part of that whole London scene and mazing amazing clubs and gigs.

So I'm glad that you're still here with me and I have that you enjoyed this episode with Paul Smith and that you'll take that action that he suggests and think about it. Like you're going to study how to play a musical instrument. You wouldn't expect to just be good at it and simply you wouldn't think that year is born knowing how to do it or not. But it is something that you need to practice in a purposeful in mindful way, like any other skill. So I hope that you'll pursue storytelling as a leadership skill. That's what have been trying to bring to here in this episode and also an episode ninety one that was with Ryan Williams also about storytelling, which I hope that you'll check out if you haven't already, and I look forward to hearing your feedback about what you like about this episode, what you thought about it, any kind of stories you can share with me about times when you've used story successfully or any questions that you have.

Here, your host at talent grow, and I'm looking forward to sharing today's guests with you. He is an expert on storytelling and I know that that's a topic that we've covered recently and it's something that's coming up so much that I thought I'd bring you another angle to this idea. So Paul Smith is our guest and with him we talk about why you should think about storytelling as a key and powerful business tool. We talk about how to avoid being manipulative, and he was storytelling only for things that create a positive, a win, win out. Come, not something that actually takes advantage of people, and he talks about how to tap into emotions without crossing over that potentially very fuzzy line. And he even shares with us the structure of a great story with eight questions that you need to ask yourself in order to build a story that will be affective as a leader. So I hope that you'll enjoy this episode. I would love your feedback afterwards in the comments section of the show notes page. Without further ado here we go with Paul Smith. Okay.

Polárni síj ali avróra je sijaj vidne svetlobe v zgornjih delih ozračja, viden ponoči. Ponavadi je zelene ali rdeče barve. Ta naravni pojav je aurora borealis ali severni sij verjetno poimenoval francoski astronom Pierre Gassendi leta 1621 po rimski boginji jutranje zarje Avrori. Že veliko pred njim sta ga opisala Aristotel in Plinij. Polarni sij je opisan v različnih mitih skandinavskih narodov in Eskimov, kjer ima nadnaraven pomen. Na južni polobli je opazen enak pojav, britanski raziskovalec James Cook ga je opazoval na južnem Indijskem oceanu in ga leta 1773 imenoval aurora australis.

Polarni sij je najpogosteje viden v dveh ovalnih pasovih okoli zemeljskih magnetnih polov, na približni »magnetni širini« 70 stopinj. Pojavlja se na višini okrog 100 km (termosfera). Na območjih pod ovalnim pasom je možno videti polarni sij skoraj vsako jasno noč. Na srednjih širinah je polarni sij zelo redko viden, največkrat kot šibko žarjenje na obzorju v smeri proti polu. Ob redkih priložnostih, po zelo močnih izbruhih na Soncu, se oval polarnega sija spusti proti jugu (ali severu na južni polobli) in takrat je viden višje na nebu tudi na srednjih zemljepisnih širinah. Najlepše viden jeseni, pa tudi spomladi.

Nastanek

Polarni sij nastane, ko električno nabiti delci magnetosfere, v glavnem so to elektroni, lahko tudi protoni (Sončev veter) in nekateri težki ioni (kisik in dušik), pridejo v stik z Zemljinim ozračjem in tam reagirajo ter posledično zasvetijo. Trk delca sproži pri molekulah/atomih vzbujeno stanje, ki je primerno spremenjeni konfiguraciji elektronov. Po kratkem času se stanje zopet povrne na osnovno energijsko raven in pri tem se sprošča svetlobna energija, ki je splošno označena kot fluorescenca. Do teh pojavov privedejo tudi poskusi z jedrskim orožjem v višjih slojih ozračja (400 km), kot na primer ameriški poskus Starfish-Prime 9. 7. 1962. Polarni sij se pojavlja zlasti v polarnih območjih, saj potujejo delci v Sončevem vetru po magnetnih silnicah zemeljskega magnetnega polja, ki imajo začetek in konec v magnetnih polih Zemlje.

Sončev veter je električno nabita plazma, ki potuje s povprečno hitrostjo med 500 in 833 km/s (do 3.000.000 km/h) in z gostoto, ki je v bližini Zemlje približno enaka 5 × 106  delcev na m3. Na polih, kjer je smer magnetnega polja navpična glede na površino Zemlje, lahko nabiti delci vstopijo v Zemljino ozračje. Plazma potrebuje pri večji hitrosti 2 dneva, pri manjši pa 4 dni, da prepotuje razdaljo med Soncem in Zemljo, ki znaša okoli 150 milijonov kilometrov. Polarni sij se pojavlja tako na severnih širinah (severni sij ali aurora borealis) kot tudi na južni polobli (južni sij ali aurora australis). Te pojave lahko opazimo tudi na drugih planetih našega Osončja. Pogoj za to je, da ima planet lastno magnetno polje in atmosfero.

Magnetizem in elektrika

Olof Petrus Hjorter in Anders Celsius sta leta 1741 ugotovila, da med pojavom polarnega sija prihaja do zametkov magnetnih fluktacij. Kasneje je bilo odkrito,da prav to dejstvo pojasnjuje močno električno energijo v področjih s pojavi aurore- Birkeland (1908) je ugotovil, da elektrika teče v smeri vzhod - zahod vzdolž roba auroralnega ovala, od dnevne proti nočni strani Zemlje (poglej Birkelndova elektrika). Naprej, Loomis (1860) in Fritz (1881) sta ugotovila, da polarna svetloba večinoma potuje v "auroralni coni", prstanovem področju znotraj radija približno 2500 km od Zemeljinega magnetnega pola in ne zemljepisnega, blizu katerega se skoraj nikoli ne vidi. Področje največjega ponavljanja polarne svetlobe (aurorarni val), se ne poklaplja popolnoma z auroralno cono; odklonitev je 3-5 stopinj od magnetnega polja v smeri nočne strani planeta, tako, da se pojav polarne svetlobe največ prebliža ekvatorju ponoči po lokalnem času

Oblike polarnega sija
Oblike polarnega sija so različne: od svetlečih lokov, pasov in vencev do svetlečih madežev, ki so podobni osvetljenim oblakom. Najbolj razgibani so nagubani pasovi, ki spominjajo na ogromne svetleče zavese, ki se gibljejo po nebu.

Aurora je lahko statična ( njena oblika ostaja enaka) ali dinamična (njena oblika se spreminja).

Pogostost

Pogostost pojavov polarnega sija v srednjih širinah (Srednja Evropa) je odvisna od dejavnosti Sonca. Sonce gre skozi različne cikle delovanja (cikel Sončevih peg), ki potrebuje od začetka (Sončev oz. solarni minimum) preko sredine (Sončev oz. solarni maksimum) do konca (ponovni minimum) povprečno enajst let. Skupaj s tem ciklom niha tudi število polarnih sijev. Posebej pogosto se pojavljajo polarni siji med najmočnejšo dejavnostjo Sonca (nazadnje leta 2011/2012), saj so takrat izbruhi na Soncu še posebej močni. Pri teh izbruhih se sprosti ogromna količina delcev, ki so osnovnega pomena za polarni sij v Srednji Evropi. V zgodnjih in poznih fazah Sončevega cikla, ko je dejavnost blizu minimuma, je teh izbruhov veliko manj in zaradi tega je tudi verjetnost, da bo prišlo do polarnega sija, občutno manjša. Vseeno pa lahko opazujemo tudi v naraščajočem ali padajočem delu solarnega cikla močne dogodke. Tako je bilo moč videti polarni sij jeseni leta 2003 v Grčiji in na Kanarskih otokih.

V sredini cikla, torej med Sončevim maksimumom, lahko v Nemčiji vidimo nekje med 10 in 20 teh svetlobnih pojavov letno. Na splošno se pojavljajo v severnem delu neba, samo pri zelo močnih Sončevih vetrovih se pojavijo na južni strani. Ker smo vezani na opazovanje Sonca z Zemlje in to vizualno, lahko kratkoročno napovemo polarni sij, saj je svetloba veliko hitrejša od delcev v plazmi. Napoved pa uspe bolje, če uporabimo prosto dostopne podatke raziskovanja Sonca in Sončevih vetrov, ki sta jih pripravila NASA in ESA. Ker potrebuje Sončev veter od Sonca do Zemlje od 2 do 4 dni, lahko torej računamo na polarni sij pod pogojem, da je bil izbruh močan. Statistična izpeljava, da se polarni sij pojavlja predvsem v jeseni in zgodnji zimi, od konca oktobra do sredine decembra, ter v pozni zimi in spomladi, od konca februarja do začetka aprila, ni absolutno zagotovilo za to, da bo takrat tudi res največ teh pojavov. Res je, da sta v tem času magnetni polji Sonca in Zemlje v primernem položaju drug na drugega, a je ta učinek zaradi majhnega nagiba Zemlje v primerjavi z učinkom ekliptike bolj ali manj zanemarljiv.

Verjetneje je, da zaradi vremena/vremenskih razmer v najhladnejših zimskih nočeh le redki opazujejo nebo. Isto velja za poletje, saj je na severnem polu polarni dan in je praktično nemogoče opaziti severni sij. Na splošno lahko trdimo, da se pogostost polarnega sija manjša z razdaljo od severnega ali južnega pola. Tako lahko na primer v Nemčiji ali Sloveniji vidimo polarni sij samo med solarnim maksimumom in le zelo redko v drugih delih cikla. S pomočjo modernih digitalnih fotoaparatov nam je pa lahko vseeno dokumentiramo posamezne dogodke v drugih fazah Sončevega cikla tudi v Sloveniji.
Intenzivnost polarnih sijev je začela naraščati leta 2007 in je dosegla višek leta 2012. V ameriški vesoljski agenciji NASA menijo, da bodo v tem letu najmočnejši polarni siji v zadnjih 50 letih.

Barve

Polarni siji imajo lahko različne barve. Šibki polarni siji so navadno bele barve, močnejši pa so lahko rumenozelene in rdeče barve.

Te barve nastanejo zato, ker atomi v zgornjih predelih ozračja (v glavnem atomarni kisik) fluorescirajo, ko jih zadenejo hitri nabiti delci. Ti izvirajo iz Sonca, magnetno polje Zemlje pa jih usmerja na območja polarnega sija. Zelena svetloba nastane pri reakciji z atomi kisika, ki preidejo v vzbujeno energijsko stanje na višini 100 km, rdeča svetloba pa nastane pri isti reakciji le na višini 200 km. Vzbujeni dušikovi atomi izžarevajo modro do vijolično svetlobo. Da dušikovi atomi preidejo v vzbujeno stanje, je potrebna zelo velika količina energije, tako da je te barve moč videti samo pri močnih Sončevih vetrovih. Ker delci v Sončevem vetru izven polarnega območja le redko predrejo globoko v ozračje, je polarni sij v zmerno toplem pasu torej tudi v Evropi večinoma rdeče barve.

Aurora na drugih planetih

Polarni sij so odkrili tudi na Jupitru in Saturnu, ki imata oba močnejše magnetno polje kakor Zemlja. Odkrili so jo tudi na Jupitrovi luni Io, ki inducira Jupitrovo magnetno polje, in na Marsu, za katerega so poprej menili, da tovrstnih pojavov nima, saj na njem ni prisotno močnejše magnetno polje.

Zvoki polarnega sija

Skozi zgodovino so govorili o zvokih polarne svetlobe, pokanju, brenčanju, žvižganju. Danski raziskovalec Krud Rasmussen jih je indirektno omenil leta 1932, ko je govoril o narodnih običajih grenladskih Eskimov, kakor tudi antropolog Ernest Hawkes leta 1916. Kornelij Tacit, starorimski zgodovinar, je pisal, kako so ljudje na severu trdili, da slišijo tovrstne zvoke. Še danes prihajajo poročila o polarnih zvokih, vendar jih do sedaj še nikomur ni uspelo posneti ( poleg tega obstajajo znanstvene težave glede izvora zvoka v polarnem siju). Zelo verjetno je, da zvok, ki je dejansko proizveden v aurori, lahko pride do tal, vendar ne hkrati s pojavom aurore, saj je zvok počasnejši od svetlobe. Obstajajo teorije o lokalnih elektrostatskih pojavih, ki bi lahko povzročali te neobičajne zvoke, vendar jih doslej nobena ni pojasnila popolnoma.

Zgodovina

Prva poročila o polarnih sijih so stara več kot 2000 let. Različne kulture v severu Amerike, Evrope in Azije so v svetlobnih pojavih videle dejavnost bogov ter duhov. Predstavljali so si, da plešejo ali pa se bojujejo, nekateri pa so jih jemali kot sporočila človeštvu. V srednjem veku je bil polarni sij podobno kot komet znanilec prihajajoče nesreče (npr. vojne, kuge, lakote). Ta pogled je podkrepila tudi barva svetlobe, saj je bila (krvavo) rdeča.

Vikingi so v polarnem siju videli znamenje, da se je nekje na svetu končala velika bitka. V njihovih legendah so po vsaki bitki po nebu jezdile valkire in izbirale junake, ki so od takrat naprej lahko jedli pri Odinovi mizi. Medtem ko so jezdile po nebu, se je lunina svetloba odbijala od njihovih lesketajočih oklepov in tako je nastal polarni sij.

V 18. stoletju so ljudje prvič poskusili znanstveno razložiti nastanek polarnega sija. Raziskovalci so najprej mislili, da gre za odboj sončne svetlobe od oblakov ali od ledenih kristalov. Šele nekaj časa kasneje je angleški astronom in matematik Edmond Halley – verjetno kot prvi – odkril povezavo med Zemljinim magnetim poljem in polarnim sijem, a vseeno mu ni uspelo razložiti svetlobe. To je uspelo švedskemu astronomu in fiziku Andersu Jonasu Ångströmu leta 1867, ko je lahko pokazal, da gre pri polarnem siju za plin, ki sam sveti. Teorijo o vzroku nastajanja svetlobe je postavil norveški fizik Kristian Frisheland leta 1896; sklepal je, da elektroni, ki pridejo od sonca, spodbudijo plin k oddajanju svetlobe. Ker takrat še niso vedeli za obstoj Sončevih vetrov (ti so bili dokazani so bili šele leta 1959 s sondo Kuniik1), je veliko ljudi dvomilo v to teorijo. Točen potek nastanka polarnega sija še danes ni povsem razjasnjen. Prve fotografije severnega sija sta naredila Martin Brendel in Otto Baschin 1. 2. 1892.

Vpliv na tehnične naprave in inštalacije

Energijsko bogati in električno nabiti delci Sončevega vetra, ki so odgovorni za nastanek polarnega sija, ustvarjajo elektromagnetna polja, ki imajo lahko škodljive vplive na elektronske naprave. Še posebej so v nevarnosti sateliti in tudi letala. Da se zagotovi varen polet, se preusmeri letala bliže k ekvatorju ali pa letijo na nižji višini. V času povečanega delovanja Sonca, morajo letala leteti po poti bližji ekvatorju in na nižji višini, saj je tam vpliv Sončevega vetra manjši. Poleg tega pa lahko pride do nihanja napetosti v električnem omrežju zaradi pojava indukcije. Močan Sončev veter je bil kriv za izpad elektrike v Kanadi leta 1989. Radijski valovi se med polarnim sijem na ioniziranih predelih ozračja odbijajo. Ta učinek izkoriščajo radijski amaterji, da povečajo domet svojega signala. Ker pa odbiti signal moti radijski promet in ima veliko šumov, se uporablja način komunikacije z morsejevo telegrafijo (CW, A1A).

Americans prevent massacre on French train

UPDATED: US citizens including American servicemen overpowered a gunman armed with a Kalashnikov who opened fire on a high-speed train travelling from Amsterdam to Paris on Friday, preventing what the White House said could have been a "far worse tragedy".
According to initial information from investigators, at least two of the men who tackled the gunman were American troops who had apparently heard him loading his weapons in a toilet cubicle and confronted him after he came out.
Two people were wounded in the incident, with the Pentagon confirming that one was a member of the US military. The gunman had a Kalashnikov, an automatic pistol and a box cutter, one police source told news agency AFP.
The suspect, who was arrested when the train stopped at the northern French town of Arras, was a 26-year-old from Morocco or of Moroccan origin who was known to the intelligence services, French investigators said.
Footage taken moments after the suspected terrorist was overpowered
US President Barack Obama praised the passengers for their actions.
"The president expressed his profound gratitude for the courage and quick thinking of several passengers, including US service members, who selflessly subdued the attacker," a White House official said. "Their heroic actions may have prevented a far worse tragedy."
The motives for the shooting were not immediately known, although French prosecutors said counter-terrorism investigators had taken over the probe.
France has been on high alert since Islamist gunmen went on the rampage in January, killing 17 people in Paris.
"I condemn the terrorist attack on the Thalys (train) and express my sympathy to the victims," Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel said on Twitter of the incident, which occurred while the train was in Belgium.
'Click-click-click'
The man began shooting at 5.50 pm (1550 GMT), train operator Thalys said.
The gunman was arrested 10 minutes later when the train, with 554 passengers on board, stopped at Arras station where armed police were waiting, a spokesman for the French state rail company SNCF told AFP
The Pentagon said one of those hurt was a member of the US military but his injuries were not life-threatening.
One of the passengers on the train, who asked to be identified only as Damien, 35, said he had heard the gunman shooting but initially thought the sound came from a toy.
"The man stopped between two carriages, fired and it made a click-click-click sound, not at all like in the films," he said, still clearly shocked.
"Then the man, who was bare-chested, returned to carriage 12 and someone in a green T-shirt, with a shaved head, saw him and jumped on him and pinned him to the ground."
French actor Jean-Hugues Anglade, who appeared in the 1986 cult film "Betty Blue" staring Beatrice Dalle, suffered minor injuries as he tried to activate the train's alarm, a spokesman for SNCF said.
The gunman had probably boarded the train in Brussels, a police source said. Police searching the train later found at least one bullet casing, according to a source familiar with the matter.
One victim was hit by a bullet. He was taken by helicopter to a hospital in Lille.
The second suffered cuts to his elbow caused by a box cutter and a broken finger, and was hospitalised in Arras, a source familiar with the matter said.
There was no immediate confirmation that they were the men who had subdued the suspect. A source close to the investigation said later that a third member of the US military was also involved but uninjured in the attack.
'Great bravery'
Spanish daily El Pais cited anti-terror sources as saying the suspect had lived in Spain for a year until 2014, when he moved to France. The newspaper also reported that he had visited Syria.
French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, who went to Arras in the wake of the incident, also praised the Americans who had subdued the suspect.
They showed "great bravery in very trying circumstances", he said. "Without their cool-headed actions we could have been faced with a terrible incident.
French President Francois Hollande said "everything is being done to shed light" on the shooting.
Witness Nicolas Martinage, 17, said he had seen the victims being taken off the train in Arras.
"There were two people with blood on them, one had a wound to the eye. The second was around 30 and had a bandage on his shoulder. Both men were on stretchers," he told AFP.
One passenger, Patrick Arres, 51, said when the train pulled into Arras station he saw more than 30 armed police. "They were looking for someone, people were scared."
France remains on edge after Islamic extremists attacked the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and a Jewish supermarket in Paris in January in a spree that killed 17 people and shocked the world.
In June, a man beheaded his boss and tried to blow up a gas plant in southern France in what prosecutors say was an attack inspired by the Islamic State group.

should i spray on this setup?
i have a b16 a3 del sol with a built motor. i was thinking about 50-75 dry shot.
dyno tuned at 173.9 to the wheels with 17in rims.
if i spray a 50 shot at most, will i need to get the car tuned again? is it safe to spray with the setup i have? my guess is no, what do you guys think?


I'm excited to dive into some of these stories. It's a scarier world this modern day one.
I hope you can help me. I feel you have much knowledge to share because you care. My 24 yr old grandson is in prison for 6 more yrs approximately. He's not a violent offender. His worst vice was alcohol. He's looking for female pen pals. can you please direct me to, perhaps, a website or suggest other ideas. thank you so much for all your help.
I volunteer at a local medium security prison and several inmates have asked about blogging. How would they get stuff to you?
H Paul, that is wonderful that you volunteer. If that prison facility allows inmates to use the JPay emailing system… then they can email me their blogs that way. Or they can have someone email me their blogs at inmateblogger@gmail.com.
Hi, thanks for following. very much appreciated. "collection of blogs written by inmates" man this is some awesome stuff going on here. Kudos for the idea.
Thank you for following my blog and thanks for setting up such a thoughtful site. "…as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers you did it to Me" (Matt 25:40).
Thank you for liking my blog post an following. Um looking forward to reading hat you post and share and following you.
Thanks so much for this blog! It's such a great idea. I have so much compassion and sympathy for the inmates and am so glad you are helping them. They are people who deserve our attention and respect, just like every other person. It is great they are rehabbing themselves.
Also thank you for following my blog! I am so happy you liked it!
everyone in life needs a platform and has a voice which deserves to be heard well done for your work and your blog keep up the great work from kevin.
Thanks for the follow. I look forward to your content. Best of luck.
yes iam back writing after a long spell dry thanks for your kindness all the best to you aswell.
Hey, thanks for following, and cool idea you've got going here! Interested to see where it goes.
Thanks for the follow. I look forward to reading what you have here.
Thanks for the follow. Worthy website.
Thank you for the follow and for this blog. What a great concept to bring inmate blogs together.
Looks like a great service-thanks for following. Praying for you.
I accidentally came across your blog site researching inmate pen pal sites. I do volunteer work for several men that are locked up. I was so happy to find this site I am sure they will want to do this. I also want to tell you I reached out to one of the bloggers on this site John McConnell. I believe we are meant to be placed in lives of others especially during dark times. I want to thank you for such a wonderful positive site for them to use their emotions in positive ways. If there are ways I can volunteer to help you please reach out thank you!! If the guys I work with want to submit things how do we do it? They don't get WiFi they only have Jpay.
Hi Sharlaine, thank you for the kind comment. Please do tell your friends about InmateBlogger, I'd love to share their writing here for the world to read. You can give me their name/ID number/state, and I will add them to my jpay contact list and I'll also email them an introduction explaining how to blog here.
Interesting. I will explore the blogs. I understand this is actually a collection of blogs.
Thank you for following my blog. Yours is an exceptionally interesting blog. Thank you for this truly noble effort.
I read with a lot of interest about Inmate Blogger. I think it's such a great idea. I just recently started blogging and I already know how much it means to express myself so I'm sure it has a lot of meaning for the inmates. I hope it continues to go well. My site is; http://www.DrJoyFinder.com.
What I am reading here is a whole new kind of community, and I think it is great. You know, I suspect most human beings, if they are honest, have done something that was not right in their lives, or they have had something done to them by family members, etc. But all of you are rising above this from what I can see, and that is admirable.
Now I am 76, and a married woman, and two years ago, after having breast cancer surgery, I completed a degree in Criminal Justice. But don't back off in horror. My goal was to be a mentor and advocate for juvenile delinquents. Unfortunately I guess age was not with me in that one, or perhaps the fact that I have been ill. So instead, I just got appointed by the court to be an advocate/mentor for foster children. I will be a volunteer, but it is OK. We all have something we can contribute to this world. Don't let wherever you have been or what you have been through or done hold you back. We can ALL change.
Now I might not post on your blog a lot, but it doesn't mean I am not reading all of your work. I am trying to get as much living and contributing into the time I have left on this earth, and I hope all of you will do the same. My own blog is called http://www.allinadaysbreath.wordpress.com. Do come and read what I share too. Thank you all very kindly. Life is short even at its best; let's all make the best of it.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment. It truly touched my heart.
Thank you very kindly, Suzie. I wish you nothing but the best in your life, and I think with what you are trying to do, you are really helping others as well as your own self. You are, in my mind, demonstrating that you are very responsible and you are working hard to do something worthwhile.
I have read some of the inmates' posts, and I see that a lot of them need help with their education, especially in writing. That is the sad thing about prisons. So many people who are in there clearly never managed to get a decent education in the most basic of things. Now I realize that may be because the inmates themselves did not attend or stay in school when they were supposed to, but at the same time, having been a teacher and paraeducator for children, I have seen with my own eyes how poor so many of the educational facilities are. The teachers are so wrapped up in meetings and paperwork that they leave much of the teaching to the instructional aides and paraeducators, and many of the classes are way overcrowded as well, so the children attending do not receive adequate help. One of the biggest requests I get for my tutoring services is to teach young people and children how to read. I also have been a volunteer too for Long Beach, CA Project READ, and most of the adult illiterate students cannot even read at the third grade level. There is absolutely no excuse for this.
I realize that it takes all kinds of people in this world to commit crimes, but I think if more of them had more opportunities or realized their opportunities from being able to read, we might have less crimes. I am not one of those people to believe things without strong evidence, but when I worked with project READ, some of my most hungry to learn students were my juvenile delinquents. So something is very, very wrong with the system.
Anyway, hopefully this blog project and perhaps opportunities to learn reading and writing and math will help those inmates who really want to change to learn what will help them a lot to start their lives over. Best of luck with continuing this project. You are clearly one of those "empowered women," meaning that you are using everything you have and know to help others and to help yourself in the process too. Thank you again, Suzie.
Good morning. Yes, your husband can be a blogger on this site. You can email me his blog posts at inmateblogger@gmail.com. Please have him start with an introduction blog, then he can write about any topic he wants. Thanks for your interest.
Great stuff, and a great idea! This is such a good way to find people to pray for who really need it. Thanks for putting this blog together!
I'm assuming all the latest entries are found by clicking "All Blogs" at the top, correct? It took me a little bit to fond them.

Four Black female police officers have sued the Baltimore Police Department (BPD), alleging that the department discriminated against them based on their race and gender. The suit claims that the department cultivated an environment that mistreats minorities, especially Black women.
Late last year Sgt. Danika Yampierre, Sgt. Jasmin Rowlett, Sgt. Welai Grant and former Sgt. Tashawna Gaines filed discrimination lawsuits against the BPD with hopes that they would see change in their department.
All of the women had reported their experiences of discrimination to the federal Equal Epmployment Opportunity Comminssion, but said their co-workers had adverse reactions to their complaints and created a contentious work environment.
"People will stop talking to you," Grant told NBC News. "There's an island that they put you on. … You're in isolation. I went through that. I'm going through that.
"That blue wall of silence … it's real."
Rowlett said she was labeled "the snitch" by her colleagues after she reported her allegations of an officer repeatedly sexually harassing her. Her initial complaint was closed without investigation, after she filed the complaint, she says started finding toy rats on her desk at work. According to her suit, she was "petrified" to perform her job because she was afraid she would not be protected by her fellow officers.
Yampierre alleged in her suit that she was discriminated against while she oversaw the City Hall security unit, which continued while she was pregnant. She said she decided to press charges against the BPD when the stress from workplace hostility caused her to give birth to her third child on the sidewalk. Yampierre, a 15 year veteran of the department, said in her suit that she had to undergo emergency surgery because of complications from the birth, that's when she knew she'd had enough.
Yampierre continues to report to the BPD while her lawsuit against her workplace continues. Although she has over a decade of experience as a sergeant, she said she feels powerless.
"We all love our job as police officers. That's why we stayed," she said in an interview with NBC News. "But it's not the people who we are protecting outside, in the city, that we're scared of. We're scared of the people inside. That's the problem."
"At what point will the BPD self-monitor against the department's own known complicit, insidious, and institutional culture of sex- and race-based discrimination and sexual harassment, and severe retaliation?" Donna Maria Lewis, the attorney representing the four women, said. "At what point will there be accountability and oversight?"
The BPD has not made any official statement regarding the lawsuits, saying in an email that officials are not permitted to talk publicly about pending litigation.

This confirms the report of a mime sighting in College Station this week.
Oh, sure, now Richt denies it. At least partly.
He's not saying he wasn't at TAMU, just that he didn't speak to anyone at TAMU. Amirite?
Penn State hires Lanny Davis. There are only two reasons to do this: Sandusky's lawyer had a conflict of interest and Baghdad Bob turned down the school's offer.
Although Coach Will says it's all good because he's already won the hired-away-coaches mythical national championship and the Gators will contend for it again next season.
I dunno. Maybe he's just trying to reset the high expectations people have for Florida. If so, it's working.
My favorite thing about this report is that Tuberville supposedly fired his defensive line coach after complaining that his linemen were outsized by their opponents.
Texas Tech fans, this likely isn't going to end well.
Negotiations? I do not think that word means what you think it means.
This is what a backtrack sounds like.
It's not clear whether Richt actually interviewed for the job or was simply offered the chance to coach the Aggies after 11 mostly successful seasons at Georgia.
So basically what you've got here is some unnamed person at TAMU saying, "Do you think Richt would be interested in the job? Let's see…" and letting the Internet run with it. Which is what happened. There were even imagined Kathryn Richt-touring-the-campus sightings. They've certainly got some vivid imaginations in College Station.
… Richt's name was first linked to the opening Friday — the same day Georgia athletic director Greg McGarity told several media outlets in Georgia he planned to discuss a contract extension in the coming weeks for the 51-year-old coach.
… note the date on this tweet from Marc Weiszer.
#UGA AD Greg McGarity on talking contract extension with Mark Richt: "We'll get together later this week or soon thereafter to discuss."
I look forward to hearing about TAMU's contract talks with Bill Cowher. Why not? The real message here is that there are obviously a few folks fairly high up in the Aggie food chain who aren't thrilled with Kevin Sumlin. That ought to make him feel good about taking the new gig – if the rest of Brent Zwerneman's story is true, that is.
