Rob Buchholz grew up in Reno, Nevada, in a family centered around construction and art. His father and grandfather were both carpenters while his mother and grandmother were both oil painters. Rob attended college at California State University, Chico where he earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Business. During the summer months Rob would work with his father and learned the fundamentals of construction and consequently how to engineer and build projects -skills that would later allow him to work in San Francisco as a project manager working on high-rise buildings. During this time, Rob became more interested in creating his own original art installations.

Drawing from his interest in art and construction, he found he had the perfect blend of creativity and professional know-how to bring his imagination to life. Rob brings 9 years of experience combining his aesthetic vision, structural knowledge and craftsmanship to every project. Working in the medium of stainless steel, polystyrene, structural concrete, and mosaics, Rob Buchholz pushes the boundaries of scale and brings his aesthetic vision to life. Rob is especially talented with installations involving challenging logistics. Often known for making the impossible possible. Embodying a range of treatments and materials, Rob’s experiential works enrich the world with his view of where pretty meets raw.

HELLO...

Moving to Australia:

My name is Zaffar Khan. I had the good fortune to move to Australia when I was quite young. Australia truly seemed like the land of promise and opportunity to someone like me from a very poor country. I am married with Vina and I have 3 beautiful daughters.

Author of 36 Books: I have written 36 books on personal & business development, which can be downloaded free of charge from this website. Twenty two books have been printed already.

Rotary Club:

I am the president of Rotary Club of Archerfield, where we have unbelievable great people working with me and we are enjoying every day and making this club a great success and all of us giving great contribution to the mankind as we all must do a little to make this world better place to live. You can go to the following two websites to know and have better understanding about Rotary, and where you will find we are neighbours, community leaders, and global citizens uniting for the common good. With you, we can accomplish even more. My message is to join Rotary does not matter which country, religion, political party or city you belong to:

Fred Hollows Foundation: I am always involved with Fred Hollows Foundation in a different capacity. You will be surprised to know that 4 out of 5 people who are blind don't need to be as they can restore their sight. Sue Lawson is a great friend of mine and she is so active in Queensland, Australia. She works for the foundation 25 hours a week. I would like to take my hat off for her services and unbelievable contribution to this organisation.

P & C committee:

I have been involved with Local College P & C for more than 10 years in a different capacity, from being a member to the President. I suggest parents should involve in these kind of committees to improve and making our schools and colleges better place to study.

Fund Raising in Queensland Australia:

Whether there was a fire in Victoria, flood in QLD, disasters in Samoa or Indonesia & other parts of the world, I was always there with the communities to help generate funds and many of the fund raising functions were organised by me alone and with the partnership of local community organisations.

Unbelievable Achievement & Lost it all:

I went to New Zealand, and started a taxi company by the name of Ideal Cabs. I then built the second largest taxi company in the whole of NZ within 12 months' time. Once again it was unbelievable achievement. I given NZ government a plan to decrease unemployment from NZ. The scheme called "Six Million Dollar Scheme" and it was accepted by the NZ Government and the national television of NZ made a documentary on me as the scheme was a GREAT SUCCESS. But I got greedy and distracted - I wanted more. So I bought car yards - one, then another, then another and then started a car auction business. Unfortunately the hands that I had left running my business were not as safe and secure as I had thought. Bottom line - I lost it all. I did not even have the money to purchase my airline tickets to come back to Australia.

So I borrowed some money and came back to Sydney and thought I can just do this again. I started another taxi business, which went very well and I established 1, 2, 3, and 4 branches. But the choice of the wrong business partner, a couple of dirty acts against me, I had lost everything again I had made. Yes, I LOST everything AGAIN - Like a lot of you, I was wondering how and where the next dollar was coming from to feed the kids, pay the rent and make ends meet, but now I am the CEO of one of the leading deputising companies in Australia.

Real Success:

It seemed like the end of the world - how could I have tasted such stratospheric success, and then be wondering where the next meal was coming from. To me that was the real start of interesting life, and understanding real life, real friends, real life lessons. That was the time I understood the real definition of success, which was jumping from one failure to another failure and still hanging with the string of enthusiasm and staying in power. Knowing the fact that "Just Thinking & Growing Rich" is not enough, you need more than that.........& I realised not giving up is REAL SUCCESS.

Thinking Big, Motivation, Getting rid of Fear, Positive thinking etc., they are not enough to achieve your life goals. You need a foolproof step-by-step system to follow which will allow you to achieve anything you want in your life with exact steps and road map. Then I wrote my first book, which is called, Just Don't Think & Grow Rich (GPS to success). I strongly recommend reading this book. People always tell me that it's the first time they have seen such a book, which is written in a systematic way, which guides you from the first step until you ACHIEVE THE UNACHIEVABLE, and then I wrote hundreds of articles and 36 books, which you can download FREE of Charge from this website.

Adventure-preneur, TV host, college football analyst, best-selling author, motivational speaker, actor and Emmy nominated filmmaker Yogi Roth has been exploring human potential as an athlete, coach and analyst for over a decade.

After high school, he chose to “walk-on” at the University of Pittsburgh because he was confident he could play Division I football. In his second game he was put on the field as a true freshman, and soon was on full scholarship. Post-college came a stint in Australia playing American Football for the Gold Coast Sting Rays.

Back in the States, he began his broadcasting career with Fox Sports Net Pittsburgh, where he simultaneously worked as a sideline reporter and studio analyst while hosting a local radio show.

After a move to Southern California, he concurrently pursued his Master’s Degree at University of Southern California’s Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, while working for USC head football coach Pete Carroll, first in the Trojans player personnel department, and then as an assistant coach to their talented quarterbacks. From 2005-2009 he worked with both John David Booty and Mark Sanchez as the team won two more Pacific-10 titles, and Yogi graduated magna cum laude.

In 2009 he left coaching and became host and analyst for the ‘Elite 11’ quarterback show on ESPN, college football analyst for ESPN’s ‘College Football Live,’ and color analyst for Fox College Sports and their Big 12 and Pac-12 package. Prior to the 2012 season, Yogi joined the Pac-12 Networks as a college football analyst. He has also partnered with Duracell, Nike and other companies to host elements of their branded content.

In addition, Yogi has co-authored his first book with Seattle Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll titled Win Forever. It has been ranked as high as #7 on the New York Times best-seller list. And, as author of From PA to LA, which released in September 2010, Roth has dueling hardcover’s currently on sale.

Born in 1956, and raised on the outskirts of San Diego, California, Robert Kopecky survived a traumatic childhood, traveled extensively as a young man, and lived a variety of lives as a ski bum, a martial artist, a factory welder, a monumental sculpture fabricator, an underground cartoonist; and finally as an award-winning illustrator, art director, and animation designer. His journeys – from the Mayan underground, to remote South Pacific islands, to the capitals of Europe, to the deserts of Arizona and the canyons of New York City – were punctuated by three dramatic, distinctly different "Near Death Experiences."

Eventually, the years of professional successes and personal setbacks delivered him to his own “dark night of the soul.” This led to ten years of study, meditation, and service, and the eventual transpersonal realization of what life (and death) can be that inspired him to start joyfully passing along the lessons he’d learned in a very hard way.

He and his wife divide their time between the Upper Delaware Valley in Pennsylvania, and Brooklyn, New York. He continues his art, designing animation for agencies, TV and internet; and writing spiritual essays and memoir for his blog, “Art, Faith, and the Koko Lion,” RobertKopecky.blogspot.com.

Robert is an Emmy-nominated art director. He designed the credits for Showtime’s Weeds  and designed and art directed the PBS children’s show Word World. He’s contributed to Evolver, Beliefnet, Gaiam TV, TheMindfulWord, and elsewhere. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife, Sue Pike, the Animal Talker (SuePikeEnergy.com).

I know firsthand the ups and downs of the work world. After age 40 I landed three corporate jobs, each paying better than the last. I also was terminated from three corporate jobs.

Each time I lost my job, I expanded my freelance writing practice, repairing my soul and earning ever higher rates. The rewards were tremendous. Income, yes, but even more important were the satisfied customers who value me much more highly than the employers who discharged me.

I had an advantage in finding assignments: desperation. Divorced, three children to support and no income in sight. It sure motivated me to overcome my fears by testing new techniques to find work and attempting new types of assignments.

First I met other freelancers. They said networking was responsible for most of their work so I gave it a try. I made small talk with executives in my industry (insurance) over expensive chicken breasts with canned gravy and sparse parsley flakes. This effort generated amazingly little work for so much effort and financial expense.

I needed to try something else. So I started telephoning insurance companies similar to the one I had worked for. (This was more than a decade ago when the Internet was less prominent.) I almost threw up as I made my first call, and it took an hour to wind down from the stress. But I continued to make calls.

In my early days I wasted hours trying to time my calls just perfectly. Before 8 a.m. when executives supposedly answer every call themselves? After 5 when their secretaries go home? And do they go to lunch at noon or 1? (I discovered these are not the right questions. Since everyone is different, it is more important to determine when phoning works for me than to calculate when my prospects will answer.)

Over time I learned what works as I received rewarding assignments at attractive rates. I’ve decided to help others conquer the pain of unemployment, underemployment, or simply not having enough paying work with techniques to land assignments quickly.

I also offer formal qualifications that help me understand where you are and support your journey:

• Knowledge of marketing developed through years in corporate marketing communications and marketing research,
• Successful writing for corporate marketing and for publication since 1992,
• Work experience in all types of environments: corporate and government, family owned and Fortune 50, salaried and temp, in diverse industries,
• Freelance writing and research experience galore,
• Master’s degree in library science (Kent State University) and a B.S. in English and French education (Ohio State University), supplemented with credentials in insurance, financial products and resume writing.

Finding the right freelance and consulting assignments was the answer for me and it could be right for you too. So I wrote a book with everything you need to know to enjoy the many benefits of freelancing and consulting this month! I’ve made it affordable for the people who need it most by offering it to you as a book or ebook on Amazon.

Alan Sabrosky (Ph.D., University of Michigan) is a writer and consultant specializing in national and international security affairs. In December 1988, he received the Superior Civilian Service Award after more than five years of service at the U.S. Army War College as Director of Studies, Strategic Studies Institute, and holder of the General of the Army Douglas MacArthur Chair of Research. He is listed in WHO’S WHO IN THE EAST (23rd ed.). A Marine Corps Vietnam veteran and a 1986 graduate of the U.S. Army War College, Dr. Sabrosky’s teaching and research appointments have included the United States Military Academy, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), Middlebury College and Catholic University; while in government service, he held concurrent adjunct professorships at Georgetown University and the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS). Dr. Sabrosky has lectured widely on defense and foreign affairs in the United States and abroad.

Alan Sabrosky says of himself:

“Having only one Jewish grandparent makes me pretty much an outsider, at least for the Orthodox, although guaranteed of an early ride to Bergen-Belsen had I lived ‘there and then.’ But an outside identity, Jewish or other, has never meant much at all to me. I’m an American, and ancestry is something I reserve for odd tastes in cuisine (I do love overstuffed dumplings) and the like. I find it both surprising (a little) and disturbing (a lot) when I look at the Middle East to realize that an awful lot of American Jews do not think of themselves as Americans who happen to be Jewish, but as Jews who happen to be living in America, and that as de facto unregistered agents of a foreign government they have caused enormous damage to America at home and abroad, and brought an enormous amount of death and suffering to a lot of people across the region who simply happened to be in Israel’s way.”

US targets Syria infrastructure rather than militants: Sabrosky by Dr. Alan Sabrosky

(Dr. Alan Sabrosky (Ph.D, University of Michigan) is a ten-year US Marine Corps veteran and a 1986 graduate of the US Army War College.)

Alan Sabrosky  made the remarks in a phone interview with Press TV on Tuesday while commenting on Washington-led coalition airstrikes in Syria that began last week. 

“As far as I can tell, this is simply an attempt by the Administration to do what it could not do a year ago.”

“What I can see happening is that the targets they’re selecting are those that have, in many cases, no military value at all to ISIS or any other rebel group but really are intended to break whatever infrastructure the Syrian government will have when the fighting is over, such as: the Conoco oil refinery and the grain elevator” Sabrosky said.

Washington intends to inflict “such damage to the economic and industrial infrastructure within Syria that any Syrian government after the fighting will be so weakened that it will be vulnerable to further attacks.”

Sabrosky, also noted that it is important for the international community to understand that “War has become a normal part of the American political, public and social environment here.”

“There is almost no public or congressional questioning, much less public opposition to the attacks now taking place in Iraq and Syria.”

“War has become a normal part of discourse in the US, as the country is now entering its 14th year of continuous warfare.”

“That is extremely dangerous for a lot of other countries,” he stated.

Dr. Alan Sabrosky: Denied Infamy: The Israeli Attack on the USS LIBERTY

by Dr. Alan Sabrosky

Americans respond badly to treachery. This may explain why they went into WWII against Nazi Germany with determination but against Imperial Japan with rage, even though Hitler was decidedly the more vicious enemy. The reason lay in Japan’s surprise attack on the US naval base at Pearl Harbor, described by then-President Roosevelt as “a date which will live in infamy.”

The Attack

Less catastrophic but more treacherous and deserving of infamy was the deliberate Israeli air and naval attack upon the USS Liberty, a clearly marked naval intelligence ship, on June 8, 1967. After several hours of aerial surveillance, unmarked aircraft attacked the USS Liberty with gunfire, rockets and napalm. This was followed by an attack by three motor torpedo boats, firing torpedoes and then machine-gunning the ship, its crew and their lifeboats. The ship managed to get out a call for help under extraordinary circumstances, but was nearly sunk, and more than 200 American sailors and Marines were killed or wounded. Israel claimed it was a case of mistaken identity, and the US Government accepted that explanation.

Both lied, and Israel’s lies become evident when one examines the profiles of the USS Liberty and the Egyptian ship the Israelis supposedly thought they were attacking, plus a photo of the USS Liberty itself. Misidentification in a December gale in the North Atlantic might have been possible. On a June day in the Eastern Mediterranean, never, at least by any pilot with the visual acuity to take off and land his aircraft:

Remember that in 1967, Israel’s fighters and motor torpedo boats had to get close to use their on-board weapons against a target. Anyone seeing the radars and electronic arrays on the USS Liberty knew this was not some Egyptian tramp steamer. Finally, there is the USN designation “GTR5” on both sides of the bow & the stern, with the number larger than the letters — anyone approaching the ship close enough to attack cannot miss that designation, and know that this was a US Navy ship.

Why the Attack

But the Israelis attacked anyway, and tried very hard to sink the ship without any survivors while concealing their own identity. They were aided and abetted by US President Lyndon Johnson and Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, who personally recalled separate flights of fighters launched from the 6^th Fleet’s aircraft carriers USS Saratoga and USS America, fighters whose arrival over the USS Liberty would have saved most American lives and cost the Israelis a number of aircraft and motor torpedo boats.

What Johnson and McNamara did is appalling. As a Marine who served in Vietnam, I have always despised them for their arrogance and incompetence. After understanding their role in the USS Liberty tragedy, I now despise them twice over for their cowardice and their dereliction of duty, and for giving precedence to a domestic Jewish lobby and their own political interests over the lives of Americans in uniform. At the very least, both were indictable accessories after the fact in the murder at sea of 34 Americans and a breach of international law, in open violation of their own oaths of office.

So why did the Israelis do it? One possibility is that for them, it was simply business as usual. Israel has a long history of attacking anything in its path – a civilian airliner, UN posts and officials, refugee camps, hospitals, the lot — and then denying culpability, so the question is not “why,” but “why not?” Another was to dispose of inconvenient witnesses to the murder of Egyptian prisoners and civilians at El Arish. A third was to cloak their strategy of involving Jordan so as to take East Jerusalem & the West Bank. And a fourth was to show other Arab countries that they had such influence in the US that they could do it and get away with it, and perhaps involve the US militarily on their side.

Fixing Things

Any of these would have sufficed. What is important to note is that the Israelis had no qualms about deliberately killing Americans and concealing their own identity, doubtless hoping to bring the US in on their side openly attacking Egypt — they won handily anyway, but they could not be certain of doing so at the beginning of the war. It is something to keep in mind as a possible precedent when we look later at the attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001 and made the US an active belligerent intent on destroying Israel’s enemies.

The tale of the USS Liberty needs to reach the American people. It needs to reach them in a medium that will convey the calculated nature of the attack and the outrage it should evoke. And it should conclude with the statements of so many people in positions of authority at the time who said categorically that the attack was deliberate, and of survivors who lost shipmates there and likewise are convinced that the attack was deliberate and that their own government abandoned them at the time of the attack, and betrayed them afterwards.

Few events are so calculated to enrage Americans as the image of a US ship being deliberately attacked and Americans being killed and wounded by a supposed ally, for its own local purposes. That this “ally’s” influence in the US government was so great that a US president ordered back fighters whose arrival would have prevented most of the 200 casualties on the Liberty from occurring would compound that outrage. And that this influence allowed Israel both to evade retribution at the time and to conceal knowledge of what happened from the American people, would add insult to compound outrage.

This is the factually accurate message Americans need to see and hear, and it is a message that could impact sharply on what members of Congress — whose jobs depend on votes even more than they do on Jewish money — would be prepared to do to or for Israel. It could also give President Obama political room for diplomatic maneuver IF he seriously would like to reorient the way the US does its business in the Middle East.

AIPAC, its cohorts and the hasbara crowd will howl. There will be the usual flurry of fabrications, denials, falsehoods, fear-mongering, character assassination and disinformation that is their specialty. But at the end of the day, more and more Americans will see graphic portrayals of an American ship attacked — and especially of uniformed Americans killed and wounded — by a foreign country named Israel, whose domestic clout within the United States in 1967 allowed them to do it with impunity, and whose extended clout since that time has already produced one American tragedy (9/11), taken the US into two wars (Afghanistan and Iraq) and is pointing the US towards two more wars (Iran and Syria). And there is a good chance that a growing number of Americans will say, “Enough! Never again….” and make things happen. Let us begin.
