[Hidden-tech] AZ - Hidden Tech founder - HIRING - Trade Mark needs

[A - Z International]

Hi Hidden Techies,

This information on major economic development developments went out to 
many in the New England media and many more (below):

Please read the section a few paragraphs below about my need help of 
many kinds ASAP. I always pay very well and offer people a percentage of 
every project they manage. These are cooperative businesses. Plus, you 
will be to meet some of the greats in many creative economy fields. Only 
a handful listed below who are part of my BRAINTRUST ALLIANCE.

TRADE MARKS - I wrote to the list about a month ago recommending Deb 
Basile in Springfield as a trademark attorney and asked for information 
on selling two very valuable trademarks, or if anyone in publishing 
wanted to own them with me, or use them for a mutually-agreed-upon 
arrangement.

IF YOU WROTE BACK - PLEASE CALL ME. I have been drowning with many 
issues and even some work that could come my way and yours. I have not 
seen email except to handle urgent matters for about a month.

PLEASE REACH ME ASAP FOR BOTH BEING HIRED AND THE TRADEMARK BIZ DEAL.

best,

Amy Zuckerman

OTHER MAJOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT NEWS BELOW:

1) A MAJOR BERKSHIRES - NYC ARTS ORGANIZER AND FUNDRAISER IS DOING IT AGAIN!

Please note below Peter Bergman's fundraiser for the fabulous Edna St. 
Vincent Millay's celebration at Steepletop this coming Thursday. Alas, I 
can not be there as I have other commitments in preparation for the 
lunch. Please bill me for the ticket price as there is an amazing wonder 
on the Steeplechase grounds that YOU ALL MUST visit with me. Along a 
mile or so poetry walk in the woods you will encounter every 20 feet or 
very important excerpts from Edna's poems. Read them out loud with me 
and listen to her words resonate through the tree tops. Then take that 
Buddhist pause and let her words permeate your mind and soul.

PETER IS A PERSON TO MEET - ONE OF THE BEST MARKETING ARTS DIRECTORS 
ANYWHERE

Peter, who is either the director of executive director of this 
wonderful  house museum and grounds set off of Rt. 102 just west (if I 
have my directions correct) from West Stockbridge (as in a seven-minute 
drive), has brought this place to life. Not surprising for those of know 
him as one of the most experienced and wonderful and successful arts 
organizers / fundraisers anywhere.

How many people raise develop a major arts program - SHEEPTACULAR( and 
then one on a baseball theme) - raise $350,000 in one day auctioning off 
life-size sheep as art that were artfully placed throughout Pittsfield's 
downtown about five years ago?

AND THAT IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF PETER'S ACCOMPLISHMENT SINCE THE 
WONDERFUL DAY I MET HIM FOR THE FIRST TIME IN BECKY SMITH'S DINING ROOM 
AT THE TRULY FABULOUS THADDEUS CLAPP HOUSE, WENDELL AVENUE, PITTFIELD 
(just down from the Atheneum and behind The Colonial Theatre). Here are 
the ones I have experienced since that fateful meeting in the spring of 
2004:

How many people put together a full, color glossy book to accompany the 
work of about 100 regional artists who painted all of those sheep; 
operate Berkshire Concert Artists; formerly ran PR/ Marketing for The 
Berkshires Historical Society and a few years back staged a fabulous 
gilded age exhibit with clothing from that era, historic artifacts, 
music and a running loop script; produce and direct his own plays using 
regional actors; are one of the most esteemed theater critics in a place 
where Broadway lives year-found; played a big role in the arts 
renaissance of Pittsfield, PLUS (the best of all) played the Ivory Snow 
baby in those famous commercials of the 1950s and the 1960s (dates 
right, Peter?)

SO - GET OVER TO STEEPLECHASE AND CELEBRATE THIS MUSEUM-IN-THE MAKING - 
The Berkshires Hidden Treasure that I want to showcase, in time, in my 
Hidden Hollywood production.

AND SUPPORT IT. GIVE THE MUSEUM FAR MORE THAN THE $25 DONATION ASKED 
FOR. Peter, please bill me $100.

***MAJOR REASON TO CARE - ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Peter's efforts, and many others, are creating terribly-needed jobs for 
our region, and boosting visibility that means the influx of more people 
who spend money on real estate, entertainment, equipment, etc... and 
hire people!

The arts, culture and the technology sector of the film and theatrical 
industries - including special effects, animation for video games 
(classrooms and commercials, feature films, documentaries, TV specials, 
lighting and sound - is one of the FASTEST-GROWING industries this 
entire region can boast. This is the 5-state Rt. 91 Knowledge Corridor 
that stretches from New Haven to Albany, southern New Hampshire to 
Vermont, central Massachusetts, connecting to the globe.

GOOGLE: Valleywood FILM TECH or HIDDEN HOLLYWOOD for the glimpse of the 
major talents we have right under our noses.

GOOGLE: Hidden Tech, the organization for Virtual Biz Owners (VBOs) I 
founded in 2002 with the help of  many on this list. Jon Reed and the 
long-standing webmaster and backend data genius (Rich Roth), plus the 
board of HT, helped build a 2,000-person global network from one person 
(me) to today's amazing business network with live networking events 
(and educational) that utilize sophisticated cyber and social networking 
tools to help build work for members, and beat isolation.

JOIN. It is free. You will never be alone again.

And read the "Sunday Globe Magazine" piece I wrote way back in 2001 that 
kicked off the organization. Also, the cutting-edge report on leveraging 
the virtual economy population - likely the fastest-growing throughout 
this region - for economic development. Doug Fisher, head of economic 
development for Northeast Utilities / WMECO, unleashed his senior 
economist Mike Levin, to work with a team of statistics crunchers to 
provide the statistical analysis that backed our analysis.

And read the Social Capital part of the report written with Lewis 
Rudolph, who was a VP of community building at United Way of America in 
DC before moving here about 10 years ago. Still working hard to raise 
money to save people's lives.

2) The Rt. 91's own Skateboard Dude is now a best seller!!

OK, he's a fictional character who lives in the world of the future - 
2030. To me, his "mother," Jackson (Skateboard Dude) is very much alive 
today in film and in print thanks to Dutton / Penguin Young Readers, 
Eugene Mamut, James Daly (founding editor of "Business 2.0" and the 
Lucas Foundation's "EDUTOPIA"), John Manders (illustrator) and me.

The book -- "2030: A Day in the Life of Tomorrow's Kids" is the TOP PICK 
for the City of Houston and all Arizona schools. Jane Yolen, one of the 
great kid's authors, also received the same honor from the Arizona 
Library Association. To my knowledge we are THE ONLY western Mass. 
authors to be selected. (more info below)

I AM MAKING A STUDIO FOR THE "2030" SEQUELS (print) with my chief 
researcher John Kelly, a futurist and scenario planner who once lived in 
Amherst and Cambridge, and now connects all of us to the deepest of the 
geek networks out there in the SF Bay area/ Silicon Valley.

WHY SHOULD YOU CARE ABOUT AUTHOR AWARDS? --

(Too many from this region to note all, excepting Rich Michelson's 
illustrator being cited this past November as one of the "New York 
Times" top 10 in the country for kid's literature.)

The awards do the following to build our regional economy:

    * Confer honor on the author and illustrator that radiates out to
      the region
    * Sells books that SOME DAY actually make both money (one hopes!)
      With that revenue the authors / illustrators can spend lots more
      money within the region and hire others to work with them
    * Provides extremely positive PR for places like Amherst, often the
      butt of national humor reporting for being the looniest PC town in
      the country with the highest number of law suits anywhere in the
      U.S. I could believe this statistic, but was still impressed!
    * Attract many print, digital artists, marketers, promoters,
      editors, authors, etc... to this region. Examples: Thanks to Doug
      Trumbell -- "2001" and "Star Trek" digital arts creator, there are
      at least 60-plus digital artists in the Berkshires making feature
      films. (Google Eugene Mamut Animagic Museum) for information. Jane
      Yolen and Eric Carle have created a cottage industry for
      children's literature that includes a truly magnificent global
      museum (Eric's).

3) SOUTHWEST ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL TO TAP

With my awards and Jane's (see attached the Houston Independent 
Consolidated School District's letter to me) my "2030" will be read and 
studied by 65,000 kids in Houston (20,000 students) and throughout 
Arizona (45,000).

4) FILMS UNDERWAY TO PROMOTE NASA, SPACE EXPLORATION, THE BERKSHIRES/ 
WESTERN MASS. and much more -- plus 2030 sequels

See attached scripts for the space promotional films:

ASTRODUDE: Skateboard Dude Wants to be an Astronaut and so does Darth 
Vader! And "Shoot for The Stars" by Amy Zuckerman, copyright © Amy 
Zuckerman, 2011.

5) CARYL RIVERS AND ROZ BARNETT'S NEW BOOK OUT IN SEPTMBER --

"The Truth About Boys and Girls" (Columbia U Press) is coming out in 
September. It is a companion to their current book "Same Difference" 
(Basic Books) and "2030." The purpose is to encourage girls, in 
particular, to become the scientists, et al.. to build a green future. 
"2030" was commissioned long ago by Dutton to promote KIDS OF ALL AGES 
to pursue these careers. My 2.5 years of promotional appearances proves 
non-scientifically, in full color Caryl and Roz' thesis about brainy girls.

WHO IS CARYL RIVERS TO THIS REGION?

Caryl, one of the world's great journalists, the longest-standing BU 
professor of journalism, author of 24-and-counting books (fiction and 
non-fiction, including the best seller "VIRGINS"), and fighter for 
justice, has been hanging in Amherst since the 1960s when she married 
UMass' own Alan Lupo. Now with us in spirit, Alan, was one of Boston's 
greatest journalists and author of many books. His "The Messiah Comes 
Home Tomorrow" is with UMass press.

ABOUT ROZ BARNETT -- Roz is a research scientist in psychology who is 
part of a lab housed at Brandeis University in Waltham, Mass. She is the 
co-author with Caryl of "Same Difference," The new book now receiving 
great reviews and write ups, and a new book in formulation debunking the 
notion that women have made it professionally.

STEM ED ARTICLES - You will see a few attached that Caryl and Roz wrote 
for a booklet I created a few years back.

*_88TH WEDDING CELEBRATION FOR EDNA ST. VINCENT MILLAY AT STEEPLETOP_*

*Austerlitz, NY:*    The American poet, Edna St. Vincent Millay married 
widower Eugen Boissevain in 1923. The poet was 31 years old; her new 
husband 43 years old. They would remain married to one another until 
their deaths in 1949 and 1950. Love affairs came and went but the couple 
were true to one another in fact and in poetry, a romantic union that 
will be celebrated on Thursday, August 18 at 2:30 in the afternoon at 
Steepletop, their home and final resting place on East Hill Road in 
Austerlitz, New York. The couple bought two farms there in 1925 and 
lived there most of the year.

          Millay, a Pulitzer Prize winning poet - the first woman to win 
- wrote most of her major works at Steepletop in an environment provided 
by a loyal mate whose energies were devoted to her happiness in order to 
"allow her write one great poem a year." His devotion went so far that 
when she fell in love with a younger man he agreed to making his side of 
their bed available to the other man while he moved into another suite 
in the house.

          "More than my heart to him I gave, when I gave my heart in 
soft surrender---
           Who now am the timid, laughed-at slave of a man unaware of 
this, and tender."

          She wrote these words in tribute to Eugen in the 1948 poem 
"Truck Garden Market-Day" and at Steepletop the celebration will be a 
poetic tribute to their long-lasting love and support. Wedding cake and 
poetry will be the focus of a ninety-minute tribute. Attendees will be a 
part of the ongoing reading of her love poetry and some of his own will 
be shared as well.

          Tickets for the event are $25 ($15 for members of the Millay 
Renascence, a support arm of the Edna St. Vincent Millay Society at 
Steepletop) and can be booked in advance or purchased on the day. 
Reservations are suggested. Call 518-392-3362 (EDNA) to hold a place and 
be part of the group reading.
